Missing my personal piece of advice: Interested in startups / smaller companies? Easiest thing to do is email / interview with one or two VC firms. I know both a16z and greylock do this, I'm sure others do as well.

Confusing if you try to go to hacker news, I recommend imgur.com :-)

I don't understand how using an external attack tool is grounds for anything. If Hamed could use it to search for exploits an attacker could have used it to search for exploits.

Especially if a students' information had been previously exposed and the attacker had access to everyone's personal information / passwords!

-- Edit : after reading his expulsion letter, it seems he supposedly injected SQL on both occasions. One imagines they strictly forbid him from doing so again. Sure, he probably should have asked for a sandbox system if he wanted to do ad hoc security research, but it is still quite a logical leap to actually expel him.

A lot of hate for graph search going on but I am pretty excited.

> photos I like taken in New York in 2010 - great way to find something again without filtering through activity log or remembering (all the) details

> friends in Austin, Texas - because _people move_ and I travel

> friends who like ultimate frisbee - I meet a lot of people and play a lot of frisbee, it would be stellar to have an auto-populated list of friends (not just the regulars) who would be down to play

> friends who like Book of Mormon - who should I be asking for a recommendation?

> people who going to event X and event Y - now we can carpool

> people in group X and group Y and group Z - similarly

> Stephanie who went to Mike's event and is friends with James - use case from below (that I encounter about once a month) of trying to find someone with a sparsity of details.

I can't think of any way to (nearly as easily) get this information without graph search, and frankly I think it's awesome.

That makes a lot of sense! thanks for the link :-)

A lot of comments about how no one owns a CD, its a waste of resources yada yada yada

For me, I own a car from 2001 so CDs are great. I buy CDs at concerts/shows, as I've long surpassed the appropriate number of t-shirts to own. I like supporting the artist, particularly if the artist is doing a signing. My girlfriend buys CDs, from Amazon, just because she likes having a physical things. She has been griping that it is a pain to her that she has to rip/burn it herself!

Sorry for coming down harsh but I don't understand how to interpret any of the individual curves, since it looks like they are five points on five different axis with a curve fit through them. What's the significance?

Perhaps less popular in this audience, but it hard to find many live streaming sports (legally) without a cable subscription. The Rose Bowl, for example, was on ESPN yesterday and they did not offer a live stream, afaik.

Bummer to hear, I too reported a privacy setting circumvention, and I did receive compensation. I think a big part of it is being the first person to report the error.
