@JeffDean It is noteworthy that how intuitive the names of the technologies you have developed are: MapReduce, BigTable, Spanner etc. Just by hearing the name, I can understand what it is.

@priceline customer care in nutshell:
1: Due to high volume of calls, we will call you back.
2: callback: I need to transfer your call to flight support.
3: Go to step 1.

Pretty clever trick. Celcius is the percentage around a semicircle, Fahrenheit gives the angle (plus 32).

This makes for handy intuitive conversions like

25°C = 32 + 45 = 77°F.
50°C = 32 + 90 = 122°F.

Even handier if you're comfortable rounding 32 to 30.
