  He might even get into Y combinator, if he tried. There, I did it. Haha. Can we stop beating dead horses, we all read Hacker News around here?

    That was a dig at Facebook, not pg or YC.

      That was a complaint about the style of posting, not about pg, YC or Facebook.

  Sounds to me like the big difference here is that this guy made a video when he couldn't communicate verbally (honestly seems like a smart way to do it even if American English is your first language; describing UI interactions verbally is generally pretty non-trivial). And critically, he did not actually use the exploit against another user. He just showed that he could have.

  The problem with that guy is that he didn't use a test account and tested it on a random girl without her permission.
