Some of the most exciting work at Facebook in the last year: combining expensive sources of measurement (A/B tests) with much cheaper sources (offline simulations) in order to optimize policies. Great work @_bletham_ and @eytan! https://t.co/JFvXJ0vZkj

Question asked of Dean candidates in Engineering: “Tell me the names of some of your female colleagues and describe what they work on.�� Stunning to me that this simple question often causes candidates to stumble and uncovers more than asking directly about diversity.

Across many media (online ads, email, snail mail) firms that have your contact info can target you. The channels via which they target you may not know why you are being targeted.
