It was very interesting to her what was his opinion on privacy policy, if he does remember his first algorithm and his message to the community. : "It is my fundamental belief that the most elegant theoretical problems are tipically embedded in the most mundane real applications, so you really dont have to think too fancy or hard, all you have to do is you have to embedd yourself in a real problem and try to solve the real problem with real constraints."
