Tell HN: Facebook leaks the contacts of any not-on-Facebook email addresshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25630569We know that Facebook maintains a social graph of non-users. Worse, anyone can access targeted bits of it for free. How?Facebook allows any new account to use Facebook for 24 hours without email verification. As a consequence, anyone can register with your email address (provided you don't use that address for Facebook), and use Facebook for 24h. They will be getting various "friend" suggestions picked from people having you (with that email address) in their address book.No big deal? Story time. My name is John Smith. A lonely person also named John Smith, from a different country, decides to seek love on Facebook. He creates an account and, having no email, randomly puts johnsmith@gmail.com in the field. Bad luck for me, I am johnsmith@gmail.com, and I do not use that email for Facebook: I use it for work. John decides to befriend all female "people-you-may-know" suggestions. I suppose those start with people who have emailed me at some point. It starts with my boss's wife (my boss a

Ask HN: Why does YouTube think I am Russian?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25583767I've recently noticed some peculiar trends occuring on my youtube account. It started some time ago (probably on the order of months), when my video captions started to default to Russian. Ok, no big deal - just some weird glitch. So I set it back to English. Then recently, I saw in my notifications that I had a response to some comment I left on a video - except the username displayed alongside my profile picture (only in the notification) was not my username, but rather "Katie Cherednichenko". This changed back to being my normal username on subsequent refreshes. Aaand now my captions are back to defaulting to Russian again (at least for some videos, none of which are remotely russia-related).I am neither Russian, nor female, nor named "Katie Cherednichenko". The only russian-related content I've accessed in the remembered past was the video of anti-corruption activist and political candidate Navalny on the phone with one of the FSB members involved in one of the assassination attemp

Show HN: We help companies take back money from AWShttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25334740Hi HN community, my name's Kaveh; I founded www.usage.ai to help companies reduce their AWS bills.Before I started working on Usage, I saw this problem first-hand at the last job I was at. Our team was overpaying by thousands of dollars per month on AWS, and I found out that other teams within the company were overspending by a similar amount. I then dug deeper and after some time, set up budgeting controls and saved our teams thousands of dollars per month. We had an AWS optimization company that wasn't able to find these savings and AWS's trusted advisor only found marginal savings.So I decided to start a new kind of optimization platform. We're driven by data (we ingest hundreds of thousands of data points from CloudWatch) and our dashboards are completely automated. We support optimization for EC2 and RDS. We do our optimization in two main ways: we search for the best combination of RIs and Savings Plans, then we bundle our RIs with guaranteed buyback so you can sell your RI early

Ask HN: Favorite Short Fiction?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25254500Short stories (and under-100-word short-shorts) are less popular these days (and I understand why, I love immersion in doorstop novel series too), but I appreciate the craft that goes into writing them much as I appreciate the aesthetics of succinct code.Does short fiction scratch the same itch for you?

Sports Math at U.S. Collegeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095980College coaches are supposedly big on math. Each week, college football coaches vote for the best teams in the country. It is fairly common to see some teams get ranked below other teams with more losses. This is often explained by strength of schedule. There are complicated algorithms attempting to calculate a team's strength of schedule.But do any of the coaches (or their proxies) who vote understand those algorithms? Can any of them explain why 3-0 Ohio State is ranked #3? OSU has beaten 0-3 Penn State, 1-2 Nebraska (whos only win was against Penn State) and 1-2 Rutgers. Is that really a stronger schedule than 7-1 Clemson (only loss to #2 Notre Dame), or 6-0 Cincinnati's? Or 5-1 Texas A&M's (loss to #1 Alabama, win against #4 Florida) or 8-0 BYU with a win against #21 Boise State?How is beating Penn State and Nebraska mathematically more impressive than beating Florida or Boise State?Can HN explain the math?
