FWIW, British English specifies that acronyms only have the first letter capitalized while American English capitalizes all of them. This has been causing confusion well before CRISPR. Exif vs EXIF fights in photography forums have been goi

I worked at Google for a very long time and always wondered if Mayer wasn't in the OC because her and Page dated for awhile back at the beginning of Google. The optics of having your ex-gf in your inner circle seems like it would look

I was at Google for a long time and it was almost entirely Perforce (some Googlers used git) until it was Piper (which is very similar to Perforce). L&S used CVS at Stanford for the original Backrub/Google code and for some time af

FWIW, a "ludicrous" offer might not be that much, depending. I had a guy buy a domain from me a couple months ago for $5k. If you go through a broker like DomainAgents (who contacted me and helped negotiate the sale via escrow.com

Anecdotal, but someone might find it interesting: I've been traveling around with a dosimeter on my wrist (Polimaster PM1208M) for fun since 2007 & I've traveled to Tokyo a few times since the '11 Tohoku earthquake. I&#x

From my skimming of the PDF, it sounds like a pneumatic tube transportation system with a compressor fan on the front of the vehicle that moves high-pressure air from the front to the back maintaining a low-pressure state around the vehicle
