> One can imagine modifying the compiler to output llvm bitcode. You now can throw plenty of optimisation at it for free (but you are now slower to compile).

If you look at the FAQ, you'll see they can do exactly that but using gcc/Clang, not LLVM.

Great, something really important like the old blink tag. /s

Only people programming ads will like this. Everybody else will pretty much hate its guts.

I'm OK with this, under the condition that Facebook only uses it to alert you of photos you likely appear in, i.e. those two first examples of what it can do.

I would not allow them to show those results to other people.

Still, you should add it yourself, and not some overzealous system.

Somebody's birthday is interesting info to keep.

That doesn't mean you should get a notification when it comes up.
