The original Chuck Norris jokes were sarcastic. No one thought he was much of a bad-ass, but 90% of the people who stumble across Internet memes are too stupid to understand them.

That being said, Chuck Norris is a hell of a nice guy and I wish him the best, even if he isn't a bad-ass.

You must be joking.

The work that Jeff Dean and colleagues at Google are doing is pretty mind blowing [1]. Sometimes, I feel that you need Google's scale of problems to be forced to push technology that way.

The joke at my company is that everytime Google publishes about one of their technology on a paper, they already have a next-gen version of it running internally.

That's not a joke - it's true... The joke part of it is in: there are two types of systems at Google, the ones that are deprecated, and the ones that are not yet ready for production.
