Items suggested by yesterday's 7:20 AM EDT post on Intel
and by an August 24, 2015, New York Times  piece —

(Waldman was quoted here on Aug. 26 and on Aug. 31.)

"September 03, 2015 07:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

DELFT, Netherlands–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Today Intel Corporation announced a 10-year collaborative
relationship with the Delft University of Technology and
TNO, the Dutch Organisation for Applied Research, to
accelerate advancements in quantum computing.
To achieve this goal, Intel will invest US$50 million and
will provide significant engineering resources both on-site
and at Intel, as well as technical support."

A background search for Delft in this journal yields a link

Manohla Dargis, film reviewer, on illusionist Penn Jillette:

“It’s as if Vermeer,” Mr. Jillette says, “were
some unfathomable genius who could just
walk up to a canvas and magically paint
with light.” And everyone knows — perhaps
professional illusionists most of all — that
magic doesn’t exist.

"Tell it to the hand."
