Quora 这里的问答真是好玩。

比如这条：During his own Google interview, Jeff Dean was asked the implications if P=NP were true. He said, "P = 0 or N = 1." Then, before the interviewer had even finished laughing, Jeff examined Google’s public certificate and wrote the private key on the whiteboard.

我最初知道这位神牛级别的人物是看到他的名字出现在Big Table的那篇论文里。后来又看了他的一个讲座，slides在这里： http://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/ladis2009/talks/dean-keynote-ladis2009.pdf （这并不是最初版本，不过内容大体相同，制作更加精良一些）

他列出的每一个 computer engineer 都应该知道的一串数字能完全影响web app的架构设计。
