Startups spend their money on marketing and 'social media'....

Global opitimization can mean admitting a slightly less accomplished student who will do better with that degree than without, where a more accomplished high school will end up at the same academic/professional outcome even without the special support from the institution.

The USA has financial aid available to qualified students.
gujk··on Some Asians' college strategy: Don't check 'Asian'
Thank you. It is insane how many people think college admissions is the official scoreboard oof high school, and not something to do with choosing students who are well matched to the college.
gujk··on GNU Stow 2.1.0 released
/etc/alternatives competitor?
gujk··on I too know the websites you visited
It would have to guess better than anonymous modelling, not 50%. I'd happily bet even odds layout that each of my site visitors visit Google.

The USA has copied that innovation from India. Now we have "Data Scientists"

And of course we've had Vice Presidencies for anyone who can sign their own name in the sales profession and finance sector.

The countermeasure is trivial: single-origin policy or origin managmment for cache access. At a slightly expense of slower browsing when visiting evil websites.

Huge PR miss for Science Exchange. She says she could only do her experiment because she had access to some fancy rare scope.
gujk··on Ask HN: Anyone with scaling skills to consult with us?
With a dataset that small (1 billion rows of 20 columns of small data items per year), just use a regular RDBMS like Oracle or Postgres. A small cluster will be plenty of capacity.
gujk··on Ask HN: Anyone with scaling skills to consult with us?
That is a poor choice for a non-expert user of Cassandra and Hadoop. The DataStax toolset is very rough. Definitely not an "off the shelf" solution like Cloudera.

For the record, the solution assumes the existence of an infinitesimal real number larger than zero, or a finite bound on the adversaries' range of choices. The larger his range, the smaller your chances of beating 50-50, with no limit on how small your chances may be.

gujk··on Ask HN: Being New Grad. Negotiating your first salary offer: Good or Bad Idea?

gujk··on Ask HN: Being New Grad. Negotiating your first salary offer: Good or Bad Idea?
That's because new grads will work for $55k and experienced folks can demand double that amount.
gujk··on Ask HN: How would you give away free copies of Mathematica?
