  14. Q: Why did Facebook go public? A: They couldn't figure out the privacy settings. :)
  15. Google's "social results" (from your network) for image searches are useful exactly... never.
  16. Well this is a fun read. "What are some good ways to annoy hipsters?" quora.com/Interpersonal-…
  17. What are the disadvantages of being a female in a male dominated CS/engineering university? quora.com/Computer-Scien…
  18. @jswartz652 It's generally agreed though that the % of women in CS has decreased since the 1980s. Interestingly, math majors are ~50% women.
