If you could change one thing about Meta, what would it be?

Were the courses easier than average, or did you work 14 hours a day seven days a week for those two years or similar? I've never heard of a college or university that would allow someone to take that load, let alone multiple people taking (and managing!) it.

I get to cheat here, but I've seen the stats on just such a system.

You don't want the set of sites that confirm your biases. You want the set of previous *queries*, so that you learn what the hell the person is asking when their first search wasn't quite right, and you can act on *that*.

Not tracking users in any way is likely gonna be a worse product, *except* for the lack of data stored on servers.

How much user benefit do you lose by not having context on what the user has recently searched for? Any guess?
