It's kinda scary to see your own facebook profile being posted on HN out of nowhere... =\

Just to set any minds at ease after the initial shock: The link I posted is just a generic bad id link that ends up redirecting to your own Facebook profile if you are currently logged into Facebook. Anyone logged into Facebook will see their own profile. The link joering2 posted OTOH is actually to my Facebook profile. But: A) I don't really care (anything I put on my Facebook profile is assumed to be 1000% publical…

Um, your goat is trying to eat your head or something.

That said, nice goat!

I'm surprised there isn't a column for people who are reading Hacker News. This guy for example: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?=743264506

or this one http://www.facebook.com/gmcbay

His username is his full name and its in his profile with his real email... thats not exactly noteworthy that you managed to find it.

What am I doing? Not giving a fuck about who is hung over or takes drugs

It's not a research tool... you're missing the point.

You're missing my point. That information is uninteresting to me no matter what the purpose of this site is

The point isn't that it's uninteresting to you, the point is that it may very well be interesting to stalkers, bosses, insurance companies, thieves, exes, "lost" relatives, arsonists, mother stabbers, father rapers, litterbugs, jaywalkers, identity thieves, nosy neighbors, and other undesirables.

It's a thought experiment. Along the lines of YOU DOLTS, YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T BE PUTTING ALL THIS STUFF OUT HERE!

Yes, I understand that. The fact is that people drink and do drugs. Smart people, stupid people. That's reality.

This is a "thought experiment" that teaches cowardice, IMO
