发帖数: 905 | 1 10 Myths About Legacy Preferences in College Admissions
By Richard D. Kahlenberg
Legacy preferences, which provide a leg up in college admissions to
applicants who are the offspring of alumni, are employed at almost three-
quarters of selective research universities and virtually all elite liberal-
arts colleges. Yet legacy preferences have received relatively little public
attention, especially when compared with race-based affirmative-action
programs, which have given rise to hundreds of books... 阅读全帖 |

the program is designed to help disadvantaged groups. However, the issue is
not whether the motives of the institution are benign, or even whether “

preference profile.
以你的那个例子为例，B>C>P 也是 single-peaked 的，因为 single-peakedness 就是
一个strict ordering （indifference 只出现在两个preference 在 Ideal point等距
两侧时） ，并没有太多的restriction. 简而言之，single-peaked preference 只是
排除了过多的 indifference.
而single-peaked preference profile, 是对preference profile的一个限制，使得这
个 profile 有更多 homogeneity (大概就是 Unameme 说的 common scale )，更准确
的说这个 preference profile 中的所有的 preference relations 必须有同一个
strict ordering。简而言之, single-peaked |

发帖数: 7244 | 17 呵呵，不是一回事儿。Euclidean Preference 只是说 Feasible 的 Preference 是属
于 Euclidean Space 上的，也就是说是Preference的属性，而 Single-Peakedness 指
的是 Ordering Principle，换言之是不同 Preference Alternative 之间的相互关系
（strict ordering），因此是两码事儿，举个例子，譬如 x,y,z,w belong to R 即是
说 x,y,z,w 是Euclidean Prefence，但是并未对它们之间的关系作任何假设, 而
xPyPzPw （或者 yPxPzPw 等等） 则说明这个 Preference 是 Single Peaked，如果有
N=5个voter 他们都有single-peaked preference，这时候我们就会得到一个 unique的
core,这就是 Median Voter Thereom. 但是如果其中一个voter的preference不是
single-peaked ，譬如是 weakly single |

因为急着在一周内飞回国内，所以只能用70000 AA Miles换一张回国的单程票。
我猜大概是符合preferred plus的标准了（Preferred Plus Seats
Reserved exclusively for premium* and full-fare customers, Preferred Plus
seats are window and aisle seats toward the front of the aircraft and
include exit row seats
Preferred Plus Seats offer the same number of desirable seat options as

发帖数: 2609 | 31 昨晚上刚initialize的，今早上就在mileageplus里看到了"CHASE ULTIMATE REWARDS
31,000"，不像其它transfer点数的（比如我有个回答问题给点数的e-rewards)需要花"
?-? weeks"到帐。这么来说，还是把点数留在chase sapphire preferred的好，因为可
以自由转给任何人。我贴了一张chase的transfer截图。
再次提醒新人：光有"Ultimate Rewards"是不够的，比如Freedom那个不行，必须是Chase sapphire preferred的，因为后者交年费，所以这也算福利之一。不过你可以把Freedom的点数免费transfer到Chase sapphire preferred，这样死钱就变活钱了。
从这个角度：“Freedom(quarterly 5%)+Chase sapphire preferred”合用或许可以validate那个$95的年费？ |

1. chase southwest 年费69刀可以免掉： 去年年底申请的这个卡，刷了一次卡消费，
马上就收了69刀的年费，然后拿到5Wmile之后就没有再用过，这两天因为申preferred
没有立即通过所以给chase打电话，说我这里没有southwest的服务，所以打算把
southwest卡上的credit line转到preferred上面，接线员查了一下，说那我帮你把这
个卡关了吧，而且开卡到现在没有超过60天，所以可以把年费也退给我（寄check）；
2. 去年年底申了southwest，还有citi的两张AAdvantage卡，申之前查的信用分数是
730多，这次申preferred还以为要杯具，结果居然可以transfer credit line通过了，
前阵子经常看到问申了southwest还能不能再申UA，我觉得UA和preferred的要求查不多
吧。
