Ask HN: big data sets to play around with?
I want to gain some experience programming some machine learning techniques with large data sets. Something for fun like trying to predict the stock market, etc.
Does anyone know of some relatively accessible sets of large data that one could get a hold of for free? Anything like past financial history, to tweets or facebook posts, whatever.
Cheers
