The 1997 Wayback Machine archives are just priceless: web.archive.org/web/19971210065425/http://backrub.stanford.edu/backrub.html. I'm so glad that website exists and started so early. It is just another university research project demo website like any other. Priceless.

Craig Silverstein was the first employee hired, in 1998: www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/10/the-friendship-that-made-google-huge

In August 1998 they had an their first investment of $100,000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, Sun Microsystems co-founder. Some sources say September 1998. This was an event of legend, the dude dropped by, tested the website for a few minutes, said I like it, and dropped a 100$ check with no paperwork. Google wasn't even incorporated, they had to incorporate to cash the check. They were apparently introduced by one of the teachers, TODO which. Some sources say he had to rush off to another meeting afterwards:

Tried to sell it for 1 million in early 1999... OMG the way the world is. It would be good to learn more about that story, and when they noticed it was fuckup.

One of Google's most interesting stories is how their startup garage owner became an important figure inside Google, and how Sergei married her sister. These were the best garage tenants ever!

Perfect Git integration belongs in integrated development environments :-)

This was the God OG physics journal of the early 20th century, before the Nazis fucked German science back to the Middle Ages!

Notable papers:

In the case of indel mutations (see limits of gel electrophoresis for minimal size difference issues), it is possible to determine the allele with gel electrophoresis. You can just read out the alleles right in the gel. It is a thing of beauty.

As of 2020, this method appears to be much cheaper than DNA sequencing approaches.

Does not appear to refer to any one specific phylogenetic level, it usually refers to either:

In the Galilean transformation, there are two separate invariants that two inertial frame of reference always agree on between two separate events:

However, in special relativity, neither of those are invariant separately, since space and time are mixed up together.

Instead, there is a new unified invariant: the spacetime-interval, given by:

Note that this distance can be zero for two events separated.

When non-specialists say "Ethernet cable", they usually mean twisted pair for Ethernet over twisted pair.

But of course, this term is much more generic to a more specialized person, since notably fiber optics are also extensively used in Ethernet over fiber.

Reference strain: E. Coli K-12 MG1655.

The leading open source cross architecture and KVM emulator of the 2010's.

Great way to understand how operating systems work, which Ciro Santilli used extensively in his Linux Kernel Module Cheat.
