I suspect there was a really good justification for this that they can't directly share with us. These sort of decisions tend to be like that.

Probably getting rid of recommendations led to some massive increase in viewership that couldn't be ignored.
My guess is it hinders the mind's ability to react negatively as quickly and allow mental processes to do their thing, so to speak, more objectively. IE: not jumping to conclusions.
Or the cult of A/B testing has been fully implemented.
Netflix used to define the ratings as "Hated It", "Didn't Like It", "Liked It", "Really Liked It", and "Loved It". I didn't find it difficult to memorize.

What's to stop you from applying whatever textual descriptions you want to the numbers?
I disagree; have you not seen the obfuscated C contest? Any smart malicious actor will do what they want, given minor access.
While I'm sure this had a lot to do with it, I wouldn't be surprised if they also came up with a better rating system using statistics on the amount of views, how long it's been out, what percent watched it all the way through, etc.
In Apple TV settings I enabled High Contrast. It's in Accessibility.
I would like to urge you to consider that maybe there is nothing to fix and maybe people are actually not interesting around you. I realized that I had the same"symptoms" as you did, but only sometimes. I started being worried just like you, but then I looked closer into how I communicate and with whom.

There are people who have a very different life, which I deliberately choose to avoid. Talking to these people diverges into talking about myself as there is always something exciting happening somehow, and they do ask about it (maybe out of politeness, but I'm a bad judge for that). These people sadly form a majority of people around me.

However, there is a much smaller number of people who I can listen to for hours and I genuinely care about what they have to say, so I ask a lot too. These people are really excited about their lives and have stories to tell. In my experience, not a lot of people have that. Also, they tend to care about things that I can say least imagine someone caring about.

So overall, maybe there is nothing to fix on your side here. At least, I think, there is a possibility of this.
I just updated my mid-size app from v8.2 to v9 with Ivy, and the total es2015 bundle size decreased from 973 KB to 669 KB. An over 31% improvement with no effort on my part!
That's just a scale issue. The Space Shuttle only flew 135 times, so those one-in-a-million corner cases never really had a chance to happen. If it were to fly millions of missions like the 737 fleet has, then bugs would surface for sure.

There are lots of counterexamples: we are familiar with plenty that we do not regard with contempt.

For instance, ice cream, the fresh blue sky and panda bears.

I would revise that as "gradual discovery of the full extent of the contemptible traits of something is predictably associated with a rise in contempt".
Even if family-based, you need to be on the more ambitious side to make the move to a different country, most likely a quarter to half the world away. Many Americans seem to think that everyone in a third-world country wants to move to the US. This is not true. Only a small subset is actually willing to uproot themselves into a new nation with a different language, culture and society for the sake of their future generations. Even if you ask the people here on H1B, many of them will tell you that they want to go back and don't think the stress of adapting and staying away from family is worth it. There is a lot of sacrifice involved. And these are people who are ambitious and entrepreneurial enough.
Sorry but no. This will not fix narcissism.

Narcissists are broken people incapable of self-reflection and everything centers around them.

They see everything in the world as being put here for their enjoyment. They thrive off of attention (negative or positive) and it's the only time they feel alive.
> Eventually, after science, and decades of politics and deliberate disinformation.

Except that the science was established and then there was deliberate disinformation. Scientists were saying for a long time that smoking was bad.

There's a big difference between the talk within a scientific community compared to the public talk. Look at climate. Within the community everyone's like "well... we're kinda fucked..." outside it is: 1) from the left, "we have to fix policy! It is all the right's fault" 2) from the right, "what global warming? Even if it did exist, which it doesn't, it clearly is caused by these factors that couldn't possibly cause it. The scientists are paid by 'Big Green'".

What I'm saying is, listen to the scientists, not the news. News anchors and politicians aren't scientists.

> I hope it's clear that I am pro-science, and want more science, not less.

It is clear. And I hope it is clear that I'm not trying to attack you, but trying to express a different view point (and a particular frustration I experience being a scientist).
If you think my comment is saying what yours said, kindly read both again.

This comment reads you didn't read my reply, humans could make 0 CO2 and spending a week optimizing 10 servers and not make a dent compared to simple lifestyle changes.

I used 1 server because that's the scale thread was about ( saving <50$ of spend on Heroku)

I know you tried to make it about 10 servers to force a point, doesn't end up changing much though...

Is the fact that MCAS only relied on data from a single AOA sensor (when two existed) not a defect?
The Space Shuttle flight computer software was effectively bug free. Only a tiny number of defects were found post release, and none impacted safety.

“Netflix settled on “thumbs up/down," which is widely understood to imply that you are training an algorithm to know what you like, [Netflix’ Cameron] Johnson said.

“That simple change led to an over 200% increase” in ratings, Johnson said. The inclusion of a “percent match” number also reinforces the idea that these recommendations are personalized, he added.”
Good riddance!!!!
I was excited about this for a minute, but then I realized I canceled Netflix months ago. This was one of the reasons. Sticky things being sticky, I'm not going to magically start paying again now that they finally undid something dumb. I'm a lost customer for a long time.
This is a very destructive comment, and I hope that no one is seriously reading this and thinking it's ok and applies to them. The most socially unadjusted people I know often blame everyone else around them except for themselves, when it's clear that they were both acting like jerks and totally unaware the entire time. I have a friend that's literally jobless and in poverty now because he was continuously let go project after project due to his combativeness. It's far easier in this case for him to change his behavior than to find a place to work with high salary that allows combative behavior.

You can and should always work on yourself. Focusing on self-awareness and feedback from others helps a lot to adjust your behavior to make others around you feel loved and supported, which in turn will only make your life way easier because people will like you and want to see you succeed. It's a normal part of maturing. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.
Why?

This is one thing that "governments" are really, really good at. NASA routinely launches things into space designed to last a few weeks that end up lasting for a decade or more because they are so amazingly overengineered. They don't do it for profit. They do it for science.

Private business is almost always about short term gain (because it kind of has to be). I don't think I want a bunch of crowdfunded garbage just adding more crap to the skies hoping to turn a quick buck. We have enough crowdfunded garbage here on earth. The only crowdfunded thing I'd support at this point is filling a rocket with a bunch of e-scooters and shooting it into the sun.

I know it's super trendy now more than ever to hate on the "government" but space exploration is one that that all governments—the US in particular—seem to do really, really well.
iPod touch or like Android product that doesnt have a phone but still has access to mobile data would be killer. I know you could carry a hotspot with you but thats another device...
One person probably rated a movie they hated 1 star, whereas someone else rated it 3 star or 4 star. The inconsistency makes it hard to build a model that works for everyone. Also, the current one technically has 3 state, down, up and no vote. That's much more explicit and easy to build a model around.
Letting people choose how they work, how revolutionary!
Oh totally, I can't dispute that. It's just good reading in general, but is more of a response to the grandparent comment stating "the software industry is a complete joke in terms of quality control". I think that's probably not a completely off-base assessment of quality control on average in the tech industry, but the point is it's not like no one knows how to do better; rigorous QA processes exist, but it's a huge tradeoff between cost/agility/etc and the expected cost/damage of not getting it right.
This 'joke' has been repeated so many after every single release or even mention of systemd that it utterly baffles me how somebody could actually type it again.
Sorry, wrong thread... :(

I have had the privilege of leading a couple of teams.

1- Put your team before anything else.

2- Be as honest as you can about deadlines and limitations.

3- There is time for crunch mode, not all the time is crunch mode.
On Boeing aircraft, the pilots essentially do have "direct control of the servos" at all times. MCAS was implemented to make the MAX fly just like the NG despite the difference in engine size and placement. What MCAS actually did was not modifying the pilots inputs, but adjusting the stabilizer trim in certain scenarios.

The pilots do have direct control over the stabilizer trim, and have always had the ability to disable the electronic system in case of stabilizer trim runaway. This was not new to the MAX, and would have effectively disabled MCAS.
That is current. I suspect the longer that an industry has heavy self regulation, the higher the cost is.

I also do not agree with the premise that imposing stricter regulation would "double" the cost of tickets. Airline tickets have come down in price for MANY reasons, not just less regulation.
Thank you so much! I actually stopped my membership due to this issue as I was tired of making UBlock Origin filters on my laptops.
My guess is that Apple is getting rid of the charger rather than supporting USB, in favor of wireless charging.
If you buy a laptop to build software on, you can pay for the laptop with what you earn in a year, but that doesn't stop you amortising the cost over three. (It just increases your year one profit at the expense of years two and three, making the books more consistent.)
Does the climate change? Of course. Are we doing a good job predicting it and understanding how it works? No. Not even close.

I have a background in financial modeling, using exponentially more observations, in a less chaotic system, with participants betting on the models with real dollars. It makes climate change models look like simplistic toys, which most are.

There is NO consequence of being wrong with a climate model, no shame, and there's a high degree of survivorship bias. Climate models that have been right, have been right for the wrong reasons. Climate models that have been wrong (most) are long forgotten and never discussed. New models come out all the time to hype fears for events that prior models predicted would be happening now (and aren't).

The question isn't does the climate change, the question is do we understand it at all.
DAE know if this would prevent previews for other shows from playing during the credits of a filn or series finale? It might seem petty but not being able to watch the credits and reflect in peace (without a frantic run to disable the auto-trailers) was my tipping point and I promised not to go back until it was possible disable it.
Silent Grouping for Estimation. Does It Work?
- You can't lead a team further than you have been yourself
There is a constant need to spend time up-skilling, performing tech spikes, thinking ahead
- 20% of people do 80% of the work. You should be in the 20% and also invest time with the people in your team that are in the 20%
- Genuinely care about the people you lead and help them get better at whatever their goals are
I completely agree with your overall point, I was just making an aside about the tendency of more inherently secure systems to sometimes lead to dev laziness. The same thing can happen to Rust devs, but I wouldn't argue that it isn't way more secure generally than C.
I remember people being over the top thrilled that Disney+ hadn't implemented the "feature" of preview auto-play.
Yes this is a good book, esp. for an overview. At one time, I used to organize weekly discussion sessions at work based on sections in the book :-)
Hah, thanks for that! :D That would be fun, alright.

Completely off topic, I just got Tarn Adams' latest book (procedural storytelling) today. I'm looking forward to reading it when I get time.
systemd should just be serviced and all these other projects should have their own name. That would make far more sense.

Tesla Remotely Removes Autopilot Features from Cust's Used Tesla Without Notice
The Netflix Prize competition launched in 2006, before they had started streaming anything. The problem was to recommend a huge DVD-by-mail catalog to millions of users. By the time the competition finished in 2009, streaming was already growing rapidly. Nowadays their DVD business is a small footnote to their streaming business. The streaming catalog is much smaller than the DVD catalog and the consequences for starting to stream a show/movie you don't like are much smaller; you can back out and immediately start something else. You don't have to wait days to return your unsatisfying DVD and get a different one in the mail.

Netflix has ~6,000 items to recommend to streaming customers in the US [1]. This is about 6% as much content to recommend as the DVD-by-mail service has. Their streaming catalog size is actually shrinking over time [2]. Fine grained rating systems and better recommenders aren't going to move the needle much for Netflix's current business, because they now have a content availability problem much more than a discovery problem.

You wish. People are not going to go to their local PC (if they even have one) to use their smart lights. Likewise people are not going to change wireless networks everytime they need to change a smart item.

The best combo I have found is non-cloud smart devices and a solid firewall. I'm confident enough that my lightbulb isn't going to hack my Mac/Windows machine, and I can still control it when I'm at home with my phone. If I want outside control, then it's vpn time.

Not any kind of meditation, but some meditation practices allow you to see sensations and experiences in their own context rather than only by how you may be involved within them.

For example Satipatthana - or "mindfulness" looks at phenomena starting from sensory experiences in order to prevent cravings or aversion.

Cravings and aversion come from how you react to things you may find desirable or undesirable.

The desirableness and undesirableness are connected to you.

When you are able to reduce cravings or aversion in whatever way, you also affect how you relate to these events, and may also aid in not taking things personally.

Vipassana, another practice, guides you to see the impermanence of all things, as well as how your sensations and emotions are coming from natural phenomena rather than from this object you may call "yourself". By understanding the origin of how these relate a bit deeper, you can see better how there is no need to label a thing as "I" necessarily to be involved in any of this.

To credit my understanding a bit; I have studied and practiced western mindfulness, Satipatthana and Vipassana for years, as well as Buddhism in general.
I do deal with this stuff, but got sloppy with boundaries of entities covered by BAAs. Thank you for the correction.

This was the primary reason I cancelled my account. Secondary reason was the poor search / filtering options - they have continually gimped these features in favor of their own recommendation engine and homepage. Their recommendation engine has a recency bias and a popularity bias. As someone who liked to watch obscure world cinema Netflix makes it way too hard to find such things and to be honest their catalog doesnt even have a lot of such content anymore. I suspect one of the reasons they dont have any grids/lists and filtering in their UI is that it will reveal just how small their catalog is in most genres now.
They deliberately switch around the placement of the homepage queues. The goal is to keep you engaging with the product and discovering new things. They don't want you holding a Netflix subscription just for Friends, or whatever.

This is also false. As soon as they leave they spread the virus any other hospital will become swamped and just the same.

There sacrifice is they don't get to spread the virus and make everyone else as bad as they have it. Not quite true.... They would have it worse since they will lose resources if it spreads. But they do miss the comfort of being the same by not spreading it. That is all.
