I stopped using LinkedIn when I saw that it was showing me who had recently viewed my profile. Why? Because if it tells me who has recently viewed my profile, then it also tells other people when I have viewed *their* profile.
Sorry, but I don't want other people to know when I have viewed their profile. Not even Facebook does this - i.e, Facebook doesn't let people know who's 'stalking' them (or just viewing their profiles innocently).

...He's a "Stock Market Billionaire". He made his fortune by buying puts on a large number of (grossly-overpriced) Yahoo shares that clueless Yahoo 'executives' gave him in exchange for his (vastly-overrated) company "broadcast.com".
The poster "quoted" from the NY Times article, but did not properly "cite" it. His text (taken largely from the NY Times article, and much of it left outside the quote marks) *does* contain a link to the NY Times article, but it's deep within his (copied) text, and without context - making it seem (perhaps inadvertently) that the text was his own. That's not a proper citation.
What the poster should have written was something like "As this [begin link]New York Time article[end link] notes, [quoted text from the article]".
Yes, the post contains a link to a NY Times article, but it doesn't mention the article at all. Instead, it plagiarizes text from that article, without crediting the NY Times (or its journalist).
Let's face it - truly top-tier programmers would not dream of asking questions on 'Stack Overflow'. I, and many other people, would be reluctant to hire anyone who has a history of asking questions there.

Since discredited by something that the OP pulled out of his ass...

We have plenty of other websites (or 'old media') that we can use to get news like this (which, in any case, is already several hours old).

Yes I did. The "article" is some random nobody named "JoeyRox" who's plagiarizing text from another article from the New York Times.
"California Attack Has Some Random Slashdot Poster Rethinking Strategy on Homegrown Terror". There, I fixed that for you.
It's a good example of the principle: "A-level people hire A-level people. B-level people hire C-level people".

I wonder if that makes it a 'meta-vulnerability' :-)
