Early architecture choices included Perl and a modular design.

Its distributed architecture handled large volumes of users and posts efficiently.

These innovations enabled scaling to 2.5+ million active accounts, and Fitzpatrick implemented password hashing and SSL.

LiveJournal faced security issues such as cross‑site scripting exploits and outdated software and plugins.

Exploiting these vulnerabilities eroded trust.

LiveJournal was sold to SUP Media in 2007, sparking user concerns over direction and data privacy.

Government and corporate influence in Russia shaped moderation; the site removed terrorist and extremist materials and was briefly blocked in Kazakhstan; under later ownership, including Sberbank, moderation tightened and censorship rose, with COVID‑19 and other topics excluded or suppressed from ratings. [19][8][19].

After the war started, LiveJournal canceled anonymous names and revised ratings to penalize “unreliable” users, breaking objective measurement and squeezing out prominent users.

Censorship could occur within an hour of publication, driving users to freer venues.

By 2015 the user base had dwindled to a fraction of its former size.

Chan Chi Kit
MR. CHEN: What are young people looking at?
[Ming Pao article] Every generation has a generation gap, and the society in the hearts of each generation of young people is always different from the adult world.
With the information explosion, the development of social media, and everyone having their own platform, it is even less easy for society to understand the information network of young people.
The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2022, a research initiative led by Reuters and the University of Oxford, UK, has been published in Section 2.3 of the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2022, which explores how young people around the world use information media.
Among them, it is worth noting how young people around the world view news information.
Social media is becoming a gatekeeper of news and information
News is an important part of social facts, and it can be said that it is the first draft of history.
The section of the report focuses on the habit of young people aged 18 to 24 to read the news – this is the “digital natives ” that grew up in the“ Internet 2.0 ” generation, in the context of social media mass interaction, readers ’ spontaneous production of content, the popularity of “influencers ”, and the gradual emergence of mass media as“ old-fashioned ”.
Based on data from 12 different societies, 39% of young people read news mainly through social media in 2022, while 34% read news media websites or apps directly.
This set of data has two meanings:
First, news media, whether it is mass media or online media, is no longer a “gatekeeper ” for young people.
A considerable portion of news information will reach the mobile screen of young people only after social media algorithms and interpersonal recommendations are shared.
Second, social platforms are increasingly like gatekeepers of news information, but their media ecology and group context may not match all types of news.
Generally speaking, news items or images that are “eye-catching ” in image design or visual effects are more likely to“ pop up ” in a moment among people.
A group of thugs in Tangshan City in the Mainland beat up a woman, a private car in Hong Kong killed a kitten, or a young idol ’ s “coach ” passionately chasing a bus in Tsim Sha Tsui are some of the news items on the screen.
On the contrary, when officials explain policies and other static actions, unless they are “changed ”,“ P ” or “spoof ” into“ eye-catching ” words, they will most likely “sink ” in the social media world.
However, social media is not a piece of iron.
Different social media platforms have different characteristics, communication groups, and the same trends.
In recent years, Facebook has used live streaming to attract viewers, so that people can "directly hit" different "scenes" at any time and anywhere. Instagram is mainly based on photos and pictures of life or objects, and is known for "less words" and discussing social current affairs, allowing people to focus on sharing interests, life and online shopping. Instagram's "story" function in recent years will automatically delete published content for users., more popular with young users. YouTube is a collection of videos and songs, like a movie and video platform.
In recent years, TikTok, which has become popular around the world, has successfully entered the social network of young people with music or rhythm matching "fast food short films".
On page 43 of the Reuters Electronic News Annual Report 2022, there is a line diagram showing which social media platforms young people aged 18 to 24 in the UK have used to get their news in the past week.
The percentage of Facebook selections has been declining since 2016, while YouTube, Twitter, and WhatsApp have declined in the last two to three years.
Instagram and Twitter are on the rise.
What platform to receive information
It's an important issue in political communication.
Of course, young people do not use a social platform to receive news information, which may mean that the social platform is "used for other purposes", which does not necessarily mean that young viewers are leaving it.
However, the type of social platform that young people use to receive news, and the characteristics of the platform and the communication group, are important issues in political communication.
In addition, the annual report also compares the reading habits of young people and adults with the age of 35.
They found that young people were more interested in entertainment and education news, and that adults were significantly more interested in so-called “hard news ” — political news, community news, international news, COVID-19, and climate change — than young people.
In addition, the annual report also specifically studies whether people will now start to avoid the news (news avoidance) - due to the information explosion and daily "big news", so that people feel tired and irritable, so that they do not read the news, return to "calm".
The results show that from 2017 to 2022, there were indeed more people avoiding the news: in 2022, 42% of adults (aged 25 to 34), 40% of young adults (aged 18 to 24) and 36% of adults (aged 35 or above) avoided the news.
Social Media Reinvents Information
Or change your understanding of the news.
The above two figures deserve the attention of the news industry and the political communication industry.
First of all, young people do not pay attention to "hard news" as adults, is it a long-term trend or an age change?
The former means that the future audience of "hard news" will be more and more shrinking - when today's young people grow up, their reading habits will become the mainstream of news consumption; while the latter will understand this set of data in the life cycle of age: as young people grow up, they will take greater responsibility for the workplace and life choices, they will gradually pay attention to "hard news".
However, the rise of avoiding news is a cross-generational observation: does this mean that people are really losing interest in news, or are looking for “new ” types of news to meet their information needs?

Oversaw the design of more than 3000 products

By Geoff Fitzpatrick

ROBERT PATAKI April 13, 1948-May 16, 2024

Robert Pataki’s recent death saw the passing of a legend in the design industry. He was a practising designer for more than 50 years and contributed significantly to the profession during this time, designing and overseeing the design of more than 3000 products.

Born in Hungry in 1948, his family fled the country in 1956 during the revolution and spent a year in a displaced persons camp before migrating to Australia in 1957. He attended Elwood High School and eventually graduated in industrial design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1972.

His first job was at John Holland Construction. During his career he worked with major industries such as Crown Beco Lighting, Philips, in Australia and later in the Netherlands, ACI Design Centre, and then as general manager and design director of PA Consulting Australia.

In 1987, Pataki created the Neo Group of Companies, including NeoTechnics, the largest industrial design consultancy in the southern hemisphere, with offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore. He worked in many Asian countries and established NeoProducts Pty Ltd in 1989 to produce electronics and manufacturing.

His area of expertise covered appliances, professional, medical and technical equipment, home wares, packaging and graphic design. Some of his iconic designs include the Kambrook power board, the world’s first multiple-plug adapter, and the Britax Rainsford Safe-n-Sound Baby Capsule (with Phillip Slattery), which won an Australian Design Award and Design Council Selection in 1985, and the Prince Philip Prize for Australian Design in 1986.

Over the decades Pataki’s firms PA Consulting (1982-1987), Neo Technics (1987-1996), Neo Products (1989-1996) and Neo Design Synergy (1996-1998) have designed appliances, professional and technical equipment, homewares, packaging and graphic design for major industrial companies including Motorola, Philips, Black & Decker, Vulcan, Varian, Honeywell, GE, Kambrook and Fisher & Paykel.

Pataki was a member of the Design Institute of Australia and served on the Victorian council, and then national council, as company secretary and then as treasurer.

He was active on the course advisory committee of industrial design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and later chairman of the course advisory committee at Monash University.

In recognition of his services and commitment to the profession, he was made a fellow of the institute in 1985 and inducted into the Design Hall of Fame in 2007. In 2012, he was made a life fellow, and in 2022 he received a Medal of the Order of Australia for services to design.

He will be sadly missed by his family, particularly by his wife, Jackie, and his daughters, Michelle and Nikki, and grandchildren Jessica, Cassandra, and Lucas Hyams, and Brooke, Hayden and Cooper Rosen, as well as sons-in-law Bruce and Brad.

Vale to a design legend.

Content: Report: Daily per-service video user engagement declines

March 1, 2023

Findings from the 2022 Video Streaming Industry Report, by video business intelligence and predictive analytics specialist NPAW, reveal that although global streaming adoption continued growing overall in 2022, the myriad of content options launched in the past two years mean that individual services on average captured a smaller share of users’ daily watching time.

NPAW’s 2022 report examines the evolution of streaming consumption and quality of experience (QoE) trends on a global and regional scale.

The report concludes that in 2022, for the second year in a row, providers around the globe saw a year-on-year increase in the total number of video plays while daily consumption per user and service continued to drop for both VoD (-12 per cent) and Linear TV (-23 per cent).

In today’s hypercompetitive media landscape, sports content emerges again as a major driver of viewer interest, with the Qatar FIFA World Cup showing what live sports can contribute in terms of engagement. Meanwhile, viewing on big screens keeps gaining traction, while streaming quality of experience stabilises for VoD and continues improving for Linear TV.

Key takeaways:

  • The time each user spent watching VoD content on each service further decreased compared with 2021 (-12 per cent), demonstrating increased fragmentation and viewer choice, while viewers watched fewer titles (-7 per cent).
  • Daily Linear TV playtime per user and service took a big hit, declining by 23 per cent year-on-year while users watched 11 per cent fewer titles per day.
  • Global VoD quality stabilised, showing the fruits of significant cross-industry technology upgrades made in previous years. The Avg. Bitrate for VoD marginally decreased (-1 per cent), suggesting the beginning of a plateau in VoD video quality. Providers, keen to enable the best possible streaming experiences, focused on minimising buffering by proactively increasing the Avg. Join Time (so that more of the programme loads before the viewer can play). However, this resulted in higher Exit Before Video Start rates as users had more time, and greater opportunity, to disconnect before playback started.
  • Global Linear TV quality kept getting better, demonstrating how highly broadcasters and operators continue to prioritise Linear TV QoE, and suggesting that this upward trend will continue. Here, Avg. Join Time also increased, which, as above, suggests providers are implementing longer time lags to allow for higher-quality video to load in order to avoid mid-stream buffering.
  • Big screens are where users spent the most time watching content, gaining a bigger share of the total number of plays while that of small-screen devices decreased.
  • The Qatar World Cup 2022 provided a big boost in consumption, reaffirming the high engagement draw of sports content. Providers with streaming rights to the tournament enjoyed an increase of 80 per cent in the total number of plays and 83 per cent higher total playtime when compared with the previous six months.

“With competition growing fiercer by the minute, it’s business-critical for streaming services to provide the right content and a superior streaming experience if they want to attract and retain users and maintain growth,” said Ferran G. Vilaró, CEO and Co-Founder of NPAW. “To do so, they need to leverage their platforms’ data to the fullest extent, implementing advanced analytics solutions that combine technical performance monitoring and user journey insights.”

Anna VLADIMIROVA
Access to the "Live Journal" was restored after the administration of the LiveJournal blog platform executed the decisions of the judicial authorities of Kazakhstan on the removal of illegal materials posted on the resource.
Representatives of LiveJournal reported on the removal from the blogging platform of materials containing signs of propaganda of terrorism and religious extremism, public calls to commit acts of terrorism and the manufacture of explosive devices.
Earlier, the Saryarka court of Astana issued a decision to close access to the “Live Journal ” from August 20, 2011 due to the distribution of these materials.
As a result, the Committee of Communications, Informatization and Information of the Ministry of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan decided to resume access to the resource on the territory of Kazakhstan from November 11 this year.
LiveJournal also plans to open a representative office in Kazakhstan and develop the Kazakhstan segment of the blogging platform.
For reference: “Live Journal ” is a blogging platform for keeping online diaries (blogs).
Provides the ability to publish your own and comment on other people ’ s records, conduct collective blogs (“communities ”), add other users to friends and follow their records in the“ friends feed ”.

(Subtle story by LiveJournal author Edel Weiss)
And here is another work from an unrecognized (yet!) author.
The format in this case is the most organic for the genre of my LiveJournal reviews, because for once a story called “Declamation ” is posted right here, here, in the LiveJournal.
I think it's beautiful.
What is LiveJournal not a platform for beginners?
LiveJournal is no worse, in my opinion, the same site for beginner graphomanians Avtor.ru - on the contrary, LiveJournal is better!
Here you can upload manuscripts in any format, provide them with illustrations, highlight headings and subheadings as you like; another important point for the author is that publications in LiveJournal are indexed by all search engines, the same Yandex and even Google.
And the publication on the "Author" is still to be found!
In a word, yes – I am a patriot of LiveJournal, I consider LiveJournal to be the best and at least the most free social network in Russia (and perhaps in the world) – and therefore I started reading the story, we can say, giving him a couple of points of affection in advance.
And then there was the second one: a story.
That is, not something dimensionless that read - not reread, but finally - a miniature!
"Declamation" is really small, it does not even have a special plot, in terms of genre - this is such a sketch, a trinket; the author clearly rests more on the beauty of the language, his metaphors... and, what to hide, eroticism - which he tried to load into the work to the maximum.
And given that the hero of the story, apparently, a kind of alter ego of the author, and not even a writer, but, take it above - a poet...
Most likely, the author thought of the "Declaration" as a kind of "poem in prose."
With this view, by the way, the name itself acquires an exquisite double “highlighting ” meaning: on the one hand, the story is really“ about recitation ” (the characters agree that one will recite something to another), and on the other hand, it seems to be “recitation ” itself, that is, something designed to read aloud.
Since I have already accumulated experience in LiveJournal - with a dozen reviews on opuses of various genres - this story from the author with the pseudonym Edel Weiss (meaning not a mountain flower, but a German beer), seemingly an obvious man, reminded me most of all... women's "love novels".
(The phenomenon of “female erotica ” I recently analyzed on the example of the erotic thriller“ Stone Messalina ” authored by a certain Mirisi).
However, before romance novels, it has at least one undeniable advantage (from the point of view of a man) - it is short.
The plot there is very simple and one-way: at a party in a certain club (it is impossible even to guess the country), the hero meets his girlfriend, she asks to read her new poems, the hero breaks for a while, and then exposes to her a certain - erotic! - condition that the girl happily accepts.
ALL.
In general, since the story is short, and besides it is on the same resource on which I write this - let's you read it right now (there are three pages), and then return to the exchange of impressions.
Follow the link, then come back, enriched with impressions.
(PAUZA)
Well, what do you say?
Personally, I am tormented by one absurdity: the story seems so short, but for some reason I want it to be even shorter.
Strangely enough, he seems confused.
The reason, apparently, is that after all, the author ’ s “beauty of language ” cannot atone for the obvious poverty of content, or rather, simply the absence of HISTORY as such.
Although someone, I am sure, it may well "come in."
After all, the essence of such prose is not to tell something, but to create a certain mood, in this case - love longing and at the same time anticipation.
And, unlike the plot, there is a certain idea in the story, and the idea is not very trivial: the author seems to tell us (and it is difficult not to agree with him): if you, incompetent contemporaries, demand from us, the creators, to read to you your own, written in blood, coming from the heart, works - that is, demand, in fact, to open your soul - then do you think it is not fair that you in The answer also revealed something from what you have – well, at least the body?!
It makes sense.
But perhaps a little more interesting would be to read the story on the contrary - assuming that his main character is all the same girl.
The girl is obsessed with the idea of opening to the young man on whom she has laid an eye her best work, which she rightly considers her young body.
However, her chosen one is a tough nut, and in fact a natural Narcissus; he is so egocentric, so absorbed in himself that all the efforts of the girl disappear into thin air – he barely notices her.
And then she finds a workaround, makes a kind of “knight move ” – catches the narcissistic author on his vanity, depicting an interest in his poems (which others do not enjoy any success).
And here the chosen one immediately melts like wax, and – bingo!
Finally agrees to meet the girl alone and does not even mind that she will be naked.
The upcoming happy ending of the main character is only spoiled by the knowledge of an experienced reader that the joy with a narcissist is doomed to be short-lived, and that she will still cry with this bore.
There would be some dashing twist here for us by the author...
But no, alas – the genre of romantic poetry in the prose of twists does not provide.
There are not as many successful metaphors in the story as we would like, but here is one I liked: the hero makes his way through the frameless crowd in the club, and the author describes it this way: “He swam through the ragged hum of conversations, unnoticed by anyone, like a submarine. ”
All right!
Dialogues, in my opinion, are a weak point in the story - they are too ironed, people do not talk like that even at philosophical symposia.
But sometimes quite narrative descriptions are made quite carelessly, such as “Asya was well dressed and cleaned. ”
What is “hair ” about?
You mean, "she had a neat haircut"?
Perhaps this is historically correct – but still today they do not say so.
And I have the word "removed" for some reason associated with the deceased...
“Looking deep inside, I walked with two glasses to the bottle formation.
Without being distracted by the surroundings, he poured something. ”
Totally vague epithets.
It seems that this phrase from the middle best conveys the essence of the whole work.
Little materiality, textures.
The image of the heroine: "Some soft folds of iridescent silk on the chest, tightly covered hips, sparkles of jewelry, finely selected shade of lips."
In general, some kind of picture in the spirit of abstractionists.
On the other hand, there is something in it, a man ’ s look at a woman.
What does he see?
Chest, thighs, lips, everything.
She can't see her ass because she's sitting on it.
I'd like to, though.
No, in principle, this little story is not as simple as it seems.
You can even dig up and even find something there.

    Relief on old tax demand can’t exceed Rs 1 lakh: Sanjay Malhotra, Revenue secretary

    Synopsis

    "The details are being worked out. The only condition is the relief to a single taxpayer will not exceed ₹1 lakh. If an individual demand amount is limited to ₹25,000, the taxpayer can have more than one demand. But the total amount that will be withdrawn per individual will not exceed a lakh."

    The interim budget has proposed withdrawal of outstanding direct tax demands if the amount is up to ₹25,000 a year till fiscal 2010 and up to ₹10,000 between fiscal 2010 and 2014. But a taxpayer can seek the withdrawal of tax notices for more than one year with a total cap of ₹1 lakh, revenue secretary Sanjay Malhotra tells Anuradha Shukla and Deepshikha Sikarwar. Edited excerpts:
    The finance minister has announced withdrawal of past demands up to fiscal 2014. Will there be certain conditions attached and by when would it be operationalised?
    This will take about two months. The details are being worked out. The only condition is the relief to a single taxpayer will not exceed ₹1 lakh. If an individual demand amount is limited to ₹25,000, the taxpayer can have more than one demand. But the total amount that will be withdrawn per individual will not exceed a lakh.

    Will this apply even in search cases?
    This will apply to all.
    FM has spoken about taxpayer services in her speech? What could be next on the table for taxpayer services?
    Improving taxpayer services is something which has been the focus of the government for the last five years and shall continue to be so. It is a continuing agenda because there is much to be done. Trust, technology, tax certainty, tax simplification and rationalisation are going to be the core pillars on which we propose to improve taxpayer service.

    What are you alluding to in respect of simplification and rationalisation?
    I am not alluding to anything specific. There will be various measures as and when they are required. This is only an interim budget. The main budget will be in July and then things can happen, even outside the budget. We keep getting suggestions from various quarters. For example, look at indirect taxes. We reduced customs duty on most of the parts for mobile phones to 10% from 15% as there was a need felt in the interest of simplification and to avoid disputes. There were interpretational issues, so now those were done outside the budget.

    The intent of the government is always to keep things simple. But in the process, sometimes things happen inadvertently that do not pan out as expected. So that remains to be a focus area. There are some grievances on the technology side in direct taxes. There are some tax demands that are because of technical errors in the IT system. Similarly, how we can improve our risk assessment with use of better artificial intelligence, better machine learning and new technologies so that we are able to pinpoint more correctly those who have avoided or evaded the taxes. Use of technology for improving taxpayer services as well as for better enforcement is very much part of our agenda.

    There was an expectation that the 15% rate for manufacturing companies would be extended...
    Manufacturing investments take a long time to fructify. That is why in 2019, a four-year window was given and then extended because of Covid. It was not extended last year but before that. So sufficient time had already been given. And we have seen the benefits thereof. Some companies have started coming in and they have used this particular taxation provision; they will get the benefits thereof. Even otherwise, corporate tax rates are very reasonable now at 22%, if one compares globally.

    So, this is off the table.
    Certainly. This is something which is behind us.

    There is a gradual decline in customs and excise duty estimates. Any specific reason for this?
    Overall, trade is down globally. In our country, it is up in rupee terms but down in dollar terms. So, in customs we are having a growth rate of only about 2%. That is why there is a downward projection. Similarly, in excise as we stand till December, there is a 5% decrease. The decrease is primarily because of two reasons. There was a duty cut so there is a base effect. Also, the windfall tax is much less, roughly about 50% less than last year, which was ₹25,000-26,000 crore. As a result, we have reduced the revised estimate compared to budget estimates.

    There was a lot of discussion around simplifying capital gains. Is that off the table?
    As I said, rationalisation and simplification is an ongoing exercise. If there is a need or people see that there is a need for rationalisation, or if it needs to be simplified, then certainly the government takes cognisance of such demands and takes appropriate decisions at an appropriate time.

    Companies were expecting clarity on Pillar 2 (rules under the Global Anti-Base Erosion model)...
    This is an interim budget. Clarity will be provided in the main budget. We have set up a committee and they are looking into it.

Data warehouses collect, organize, and store historical data accumulated over time from various operating systems, such as transaction databases, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and other business applications.
It is designed to support efficient data mining, conversion and uploading (ETL), as well as provide analytical tools and reporting capabilities for decision support and business intelligence (BI).
In the context of AppMaster, a data repository can be a critical component because it enables platform users to analyze the performance, use, and effectiveness of their applications in real time.
Data repositories help absorb large amounts of data generated by different applications on AppMaster.
Users can derive valuable insights and make data-driven decisions to improve the performance of their applications, improve the user experience, and drive business growth.
Data repositories are built on specific architectural principles, such as the use of dimensional modeling techniques, which help to improve query performance and ensure data consistency.
The most common chart design patterns include the star chart, the snowflake chart, and the data cabinet.
These designs organize facts (quantitative and measurable data) and dimensions (descriptive and contextual data) to enable more effective and flexible analysis of different business scenarios.
There are four main processes involved in the data storage lifecycle:
1.
Data integrity: This refers to extracting data from multiple and disparate sources, followed by converting and cleaning it to ensure consistency, accuracy and completeness.
2.
Data Storage: The converted data is then uploaded to the data warehouse, where it is stored in a structured format that facilitates efficient query and analysis.
Storage also takes into account improvements for specific performance requirements, such as indexing, partitioning, or actual views.
3.
Data management: This includes routine maintenance tasks, such as backing up, archiving, and restoring data, as well as applying data policies, security measures, and compliance requirements.
4.
Data Access and Analysis: Users can take advantage of various reporting, visualization and analytics tools to access the data repository, retrieve relevant information, and derive insights that inform business decisions.
There are several advantages that data repositories offer in the context of AppMaster:
• Unified Data Display: Data storage provides a single, unified view of enterprise data, enabling users to access and analyze information across multiple applications and data sources.
• Improved performance: By leveraging specialized data storage structures and query optimization technologies, data repositories facilitate faster and more efficient query and reporting compared to traditional databases.
Reliable data quality: ETL processes used to store data ensure that data is clean, accurate and up to date, leading to more reliable insights and informed decision-making.
• Historical data analysis: Data repositories allow users to track and compare historical trends and patterns over time, enabling them to make better predictions and strategically guide future decision-making.
Scalability: Data repositories are designed to accommodate the increasing amounts of data being created in the current digital age, and can be expanded to support large volumes and complex analytical processing requirements.
Moreover, many industry-leading data storage solutions meet different regulatory requirements and use cases.
Some popular data warehouse technologies include Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, and Microsoft SQL Server.
In conclusion, data repositories are vital components for implementing sophisticated application monitoring and analytics capabilities, such as those required by the AppMaster platform and its users.
Through the effective use of data storage technologies, AppMaster users can derive actionable insights, optimize application performance, and achieve business success.

Content: Opinion: Rating in Russian

Subscribe to Telegram channel
Subscribe to Google News
Starting from February 24, interesting metamorphoses occur with my LJ rating (trifle, but unpleasant).
LiveJournal, apparently, defined me as an “unreliable ” user – and therefore he is just monotonically declining.
Of course, the principle of forming LiveJournal ratings has always remained a terrible military and commercial secret, but the general principle could be caught: if you are read a lot, your posts have a lot of comments and likes, the rating increases; if you read a little, there are no comments, or you do not write anything at all, the rating decreases.
It's kind of simple.
But with the beginning of the war, LiveJournal not only introduced censorship and canceled anonymous names, but also, it seems, revised the principle of rating.
Now the “unreliable ” users ratings simply decline no matter what.
I noticed it back in April – when on one of the posts (about AvtoVAZ) there was almost a record attendance – 75 thousand per day, about 1000 comments – and the rating, as if nothing had happened, continued to decline.
I am almost certain that the LJ algorithm has a restriction, according to which it by default believes that “Shoemaker writes nothing ”; accordingly, every day my personal rating gradually dries up, although I still have, even in conditions of censorship and general militaristic insanity, extremely“ fruitful ” posts.
All this is understandable – LJ, while he was “in the shadows ” and outside the attention of the“ ideologists ” of the regime, lovingly debugged his mechanisms of work and brought them almost to perfection, but when censors and censorship came, it breaks everything down in a few months, since the mechanisms were made with an emphasis on the objectivity of measurements, and no objectivity of ideology is needed.
I just don ’ t understand why it ’ s so half-hearted.
With other "unreliable" treated much cooler.
Kungurov was simply squeezed out of LiveJournal, Nikonov was squeezed out, Mitrich ’ s rating was simply halved in one fell swoop, Alex Rozoff was driven somewhere in the end of the first rating hundred (although his posts are read and discussed in the same way, if not more than before the sad Free Date) – and my rating is just slowly and sadly “blown away ” (about minus 8 thousand points), and almost ceased to include posts in the Top.
The only thing is that I ’ m treated about the same as El Murid: he ’ s also “slowly and sadly ” losing in the rankings, although his posts are read almost more than mine (but since we have the same rate of fall in the“ they write nothing ” mode, I can ’ t fall lower than him).
These are the ratings quirks.

VMLY&R appoints chief experience officer in Asia

Experience design veteran Symon Hammacott discusses his new role, the way CX expectations have shifted, and the responsibility to incorporate ethical design into client work.

VMLY&R has appointed Symon Hammacott as chief experience officer in Asia. To be based in Singapore, Hammacott has clocked decades of experience in the industry including a previous role as regional head of experience at Publicis Sapient and 10 years as experience consultant at Isobar.

In this new role, Hammacott will be tasked with “identifying and investing in new technologies and partnerships to reinforce and develop VMLY&R’s CX portfolio”. He will also participate in Team WPP pitches and proposals as well as drive culture initiatives and talent development across VMLY&R’s principal offices around the world.

He told Campaign Asia-Pacific that CX, to a lot of people’s minds, is just the design of customer touchpoints. But what attracted him to this role is that VMLY&R’s experience offering is comprised of four facets: technology, experience design, data, and product management. Hammacott will oversee some 200 full-time staff across these four facets in Asia.

“[The four facets] don't exist in silos,” Hamacott said. “They're fully integrated into all the things that we do. So it means that I get to lead the practice across those four facets as well as some client stewardship and building our ecosystem of partners.”

A role like Hamacott’s in an experience agency has significantly evolved even in the last five years, taking into account the way CX has significantly evolved.

“Five years ago, we were designing solutions that were touchpoints, and we were trying to connect with touchpoints together," he said. "But what we're now doing is designing systems which have intelligence sitting underneath them for things like personalisation, and now, hyper-personalisation. It’s a completely different environment.”

Hamacott said that CX work now is about solving business problems rather than just optimisation. For example, a brand’s experience is expected to be complete from end-to-end—its level of service must be as good in its call centre as it is in the shops, the app, or on the internet. The content strategy must be seen everywhere, and the brand must understand when a customer is on each of its platforms and anticipate their needs in the next respect.

“When you look at Netflix, it’s basically crafting thumbnails for movies that are personalised to your preference," said Hamacott. "They show you the actors, the moment in a movie, the art direction, or a style that you like. There are a lot of creative decisions that are happening in real-time because of the CX technology. It’s a fascinating time to be in this business.”

The challenge, however, with the onset of CX technology, is distinctiveness and differentiation because there's a potential for everything to end up the same. Hamacott said that banks in particular face this problem, where many of their digital services are similar to their each other, and distinctiveness becomes key in setting them apart from competitors. This is where more traditional creative thinking comes into play—finding insights that can unlock an audience segment or seeking unique ways to be innovative.

One area that Hamacott is particularly passionate about is sustainability and ethical design, and integrating them into client work. He’s recently worked on projects that have been very much about trying to get clients and audiences to understand that every design decision made on the front stage will ultimately have implications backstage as well. For example, if a brand decides to offer a product in 24 hours where previously it was offered in 48 hours, it affects the entire supply chain.

“I believe that we have the responsibility as designers to understand those decisions and to help clients to understand the decisions," he said. "And normalise our designs so that they take account of that. For example, Singapore is awash with delivery riders, and there are implications where we make design changes to how we might be affecting their lives and their livelihoods.”

Content: Reddit on building & scaling r/place

Altitude SF 2017 brought together technical leaders from Reddit, the ACLU, TED, Slack, and more to explore the future of edge delivery, emerging web trends, and the challenges of cloud infrastructure and security. In this post, we’ll share Daniel Ellis’ talk on how Reddit built and scaled r/place, their real-time April Fools’ project.

Daniel Ellis, Senior Software Engineer, Relevance, Reddit

At its core, r/place’s motto was: “Individually you can create something, together you can create something more.”

r/place was a globally shared, 1,000 x 1,000 pixel canvas on which each user could paint a pixel at time:

Everyone painted on the same grid together, with one catch: you only got one pixel every five minutes. You couldn’t draw anything on your own — you had to draw with other communities. (“When you joined with other people you could make something a lot better.”)

A lot of subreddits came together, resulting in a richly populated final canvas filled with country flags, memes, and the Mona Lisa:

In total, the project had 1.1 M unique users, 150,000 concurrent users, 16.5 M tiles placed (enough to cover the board 16 times over), and was finished in 72 hours.

Challenges for building r/place

There were numerous challenges to take into account when approaching this project:

  • There was only one shot to launch, and the project only lasted a few days. With a set deadline of April 1, there was no pushing the launch back. And, the project had to be ready to scale and in good working order immediately, or else no one would use it.

  • Keeping the main site unaffected. The team had to ensure the rest of reddit.com remained in good shape.

  • A small team (3-4 engineers), with the rest of reddit.com to work on.

  • They had no idea what users would do with it, which was more of an ideological challenge than a technical one; they were offering up an entirely blank canvas for users to draw on: “The idea of giving the internet free rein over that can be scary.”

With those challenges in mind, the team tracked their stress levels over time:

The chart gave the team a sense of where to put more focus or get more people on board, i.e., “The backend people were a little more stressed.”

How it worked

Reading the board was “the simplest” part of implementing r/place: they cached the board on Fastly’s CDN with a time to live (TTL) of one second (this was to reduce load on the data store as much as possible — a little bit of latency was fine because updates were also streamed via websockets to the user).

The second major part was drawing a pixel: a request came in and passed through the CDN and load balancer untouched, and the application server would check to make sure the user was logged in, the account was of the right age, and that they hadn’t placed a pixel in the required amount of time. If all that checked out, an update was sent to a few places:

  1. A websockets cluster (a fan-out exchange from RabbitMQ) that let people’s clients get that message back and display it onto the board for real-time updates.

  2. The event collector (a kafka pipeline), allowed the team to do an analysis as well as release the data to the community (who created heatmaps, among other creative endeavours) once the game was finished.

  3. Redis, where a bitmap of the board was stored in one key (more on this later).

  4. Cassandra, where the actual data about the user who drew the pixel was stored, which allowed users to click a pixel to see when it was placed and by whom.

Backend choice: Cassandra v Redis

There was some back and forth over whether to use Cassandra or Redis for the actual storage of the board; each choice had its pros and cons:

Cassandra was the initial choice — it serves a significant portion of reddit.com, therefore having the benefit of being a familiar technology which had plenty of in-house expertise — and offered a 36 node cluster, about 96 TB of data, 90,000 reads/sec, and 30,000 writes/sec.

However, Cassandra did not fit this project’s data model very well: the team needed to have one million records of individually addressable pixels, and then needed to be able to return all of those pixels when someone loaded the board; with Cassandra, this took the form of a million columns in a row. Further, the use of Cassandra presented a “double-edged sword:” they knew it’s a good data store because it’s used all the time, but if something happened with the project it was potentially a way to hurt the main site (by using the same Cassandra instance to run r/place and reddit.com, they risked bringing down both).

Redis, on the other hand, fit the data model well — it was “exactly what they needed.” It’s not used much for the main site (Redis is used for counting, so active users can be seen in the sidebar), so didn’t carry the potential of affecting reddit.com if something went awry with r/place. However, since it’s not used a lot, it was more unfamiliar than Cassandra.

Board format

For efficiency's sake, the team cut the palette down to 16 colors, storing them in a four-bit unsigned integer — a bitmap that the front end could interpret as red, green, and blue.

Here’s a scaled-down example:

On the left you see the data as stored and transmitted, and on the right how it “wraps around” when placed on the grid. After a write, a particular place in the bitmap was addressed based on the coordinates (x + y * canvas_size), which meant they could store pixel information for one million pixels in 500 kilobytes of data. This value could be made even lower by gzipping when downloading the data in the browser.

Setting a pixel: SETBIT v. bitfield

Initially they looked at SETBIT, a Redis command that lets you set individual bits, for enabling users to set pixels on the board. They’d run SETBIT, the name of the key, the offset they’d want to write into the key, and the value. In action, it would look something like this:

SETBIT canvas 100 1
SETBIT canvas 101 1
SETBIT canvas 102 1
SETBIT canvas 103 1

Repeating the command four times wasn’t ideal — another downside was that if users tried to set their same pixels in the same spot, a random mix of colors might result, something that could be addressed by making it atomic, like the concept of transactions in SQL.

The team eventually settled on BITFIELD, which is able to operate with multiple bit fields in the same command call. BITFIELD also shortened the command to two lines — when the pound sign was added, Redis automatically calculated the bit position — as seen in the following example:

BITFIELD key SET TYPE OFFSET VALUE
BITFIELD canvas SET u4 #25 15

Getting the pixel

The team didn’t need to use BITFIELD at all for the GET, instead using a simple GET, and letting the client handle parsing the pixels. The code was a bit more complicated since there are no unsigned four-bit integer arrays in JavaScript, so they had to parse it as an eight-bit integer array and do their own bit shifting, but overall this was small in the grand scheme of r/place implementation. (Check out the slides to see the command in full.)

Load testing for the real world

To make sure everything would work, the team set up load testing; they scaled up their network so r/place could handle 180,000 writes per second, which was more than they’d need (for context, all of reddit.com gets about 30,000 requests per second).

They also load tested with a mixed workflow more conducive to the real world. Initially load testing had been done with SETs only, but adding one GET of the key per second caused a huge hit in the capacity for SET operations, which made sense: “A SET is pretty small — setting a single pixel value — but a GET is getting them all!” 10 reads/second were added to the mix, which resulted in a drop of 20,000 writes a second (i.e., adding 1 read/sec meant a loss of 2,000 writes/sec).

At this point caching seemed like a good idea, but they also tested board load time, which had only been tested internally at a small scale. The board was loaded with “a million random pixels,” immediately resulting in what had been a sub-second load time in Cassandra jumping to over 30 seconds. For Redis, loading the board translated to getting a single key, which was more like 10ms. This load test was the final deciding factor for Redis, and also illustrated how it’s important to incorporate real-world data when testing.

Caching: a multi-tiered approach

Fastly’s CDN was the “first line of defense,” and adding it was as simple as adding a Cache-Control header with max-age=1 — they wanted to keep a low TTL to ensure fresh content while still limiting the traffic back to Redis to just one request a second.

If data in Fastly was stale, they’d fall back to the server-side cache — each application server had a local memcache instance for this purpose. Finally, if neither of those caches had the data, they’d fall back to Redis. Changing caching was controlled with GET parameters (though they ended up not needing to). Everything took “very little” actual code but paid off in terms of reducing load to the system.

Takeaways

Building and scaling r/place inspired the following sage advice:

  • Have knobs you can tune, like cooldown timers — they ended up running into trouble with the RabbitMQ cluster, so they changed rate of throughput for updates while diagnosing.

  • Have switches you can flip — it’s nice to have things you can turn to without shutting everything off (they wouldn’t have wanted to shut down the entire game because a piece of the infrastructure wasn’t working properly).

  • Load test everything with real-world data — in Reddit’s case, this showed the need for caching and another backend store — had they just tested simple reads and writes they might have missed problems arising from disparity in sizes for GETs vs SETs.

  • Use power principles — there wasn’t much time to execute the project, so anything they chose to implement needed to have a disproportionate payoff (e.g., there was a bug that “stayed until the end” but at the end of the day, it wasn’t a big enough deal to delve into).

Watch the talk below, and stay tuned — we’ll continue to share customer stories from Altitude (and beyond).

Content: Seven days of fresh?
Threads user time reduced by 50%

The social mobile app (App) Threads, known as the “Twitter Killer, ” has surpassed 100 million registrations worldwide in five days, making it the fastest app in history to reach the discipline.
However, recent data shows that the popularity of Threads is rapidly declining, and user usage time is reduced by 50%.
According to the latest data from marketing company Sensor Tower, the active users of Threads developed by Meta on Wednesday (12th) decreased by 20% compared to Saturday (8th), and the average usage time decreased from 20 minutes to 10 minutes, and the user growth and platform engagement decreased significantly.
According to data company Similarweb, the daily active users of Android on Monday fell by more than 25% compared to Friday ’ s Gao Feng, and the average daily use time fell from a maximum of 20 minutes to 8 minutes. David Carr, the manager of the company, believes that at first people will follow the popularity of the new social platform because of novelty, but not everyone can quickly develop a new social platform. Habit.
In response, a Meta spokesperson said that although Threads is still in the early stages, the company is very satisfied with the current results of the platform, even exceeded expectations, and will continue to introduce new features and optimize the system in the next few months to continue to improve the user experience.

Exploiting these vulnerabilities eroded trust.

- make one search form
* search phrase: [] - search search in title, refren, body if empty but search ALL
* search month: [select month] - only those months with years where there are articles. by default select month = 0, i.e. do not take into account
* search category: [select category] - categories from 5.1. by default select category = 0, i.e. do not take into account
* search status [all] - here the choice [posted] [not approved]
* search comments status [all] - here the choice [posted] [not approved] - not approved - the same for comments
* per page [10] - [20] [50] [100]
- view transfer to Hello world!. When you click, the lines are moved apart (if more than one item is found), or just add a block there
DOWNLOAD the article well and at the bottom close, the line collapses.
Here is the type http: / / www.dustindiaz.com / basement / block-toggle.html
only need to load the contents when pressed and not load immediately.
- when you click on comments as well as on view - open the same block as presented on the page
- instead of view status. if not apptoved, then through
[approve] - when you click on ajax without reloading the page, everything changes.
5.4.
Comments management http: / / new.makemerich.us / wp / wp-admin / edit-comments.php
- still do only Awaiting Moderation checkbox to search. if search empty then look for all
You need to make sure that the interface is only a layer, i.e. you need an API to add automatic posts to blogs, and with an array of pictures, etc.
Think about how to make it more comfortable.

LiveJournal was sold to SUP Media in 2007, sparking user concerns over direction and data privacy.

Government and corporate influence in Russia shaped moderation; the site removed terrorist and extremist materials and was briefly blocked in Kazakhstan; under later ownership, including Sberbank, moderation tightened and censorship rose, with COVID‑19 and other topics excluded or suppressed from ratings. [19][8][19].

The lords of the vaxers have not long to endure the godless Shoemaker in LiveJournal.
The tendency to silence “too sharp ” topics, which I have already mentioned, is becoming clearer and clearer.
Still, it was not in vain that the change of ownership occurred, and LiveJournal passed into the hands of Comrade Gref and Sberbank.
Pay attention to my last 4 (!) posts about kovid - about Germany, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, etc.
None of them is not that “did not get to the top ” – God would be with him; all four were out of the LiveJournal rating at all.
It was as if they “didn ’ t notice ” them.
And it's funny - one still flew into the Top, and immediately in the top ten - and literally an hour later was hastily thrown out of it.
At the same time, from the rating in general.
It's censorship, my friends.
So far, as soft as possible.
I pay tribute to the old LJ - he resists as much as he can.
But no – the forces are too unequal, I understand.
The crazier and frankly ridiculous everything becomes – covid-statistics, the requirement to “vaccinate everyone ”, the rationale for“ the need for codification ”, etc. – the stronger will take control of social networks.
Moreover, they are clamped on two sides: Russian (VK, Zen, LiveJournal) will thin out censors from the government, Western (FB, YouTube, Instagram) do not need censors from the outside, they themselves are the embodiment of censorship.
The exception from the rating “completely ” is, of course, the mildest form of influence so far.
But, as Leo Tolstoy said, “By reducing the ideal by its weakness, one can never find the limit at which one should stop. ”

After the war started, LiveJournal canceled anonymous names and revised ratings to penalize “unreliable” users, breaking objective measurement and squeezing out prominent users.

What happened at the start of an unspecified war? (probably the war on Ukraine)

Censorship was instituted
Anonymous posters were removed

What happened when censorship was instituted on LiveJournal?

Objective rating mechanism was destroyed

Censorship could occur within an hour of publication, driving users to freer venues.

The previous record was “frozen ” – this time literally an hour after publication.
The speed of censorship in LiveJournal is steadily increasing – it is impossible not to admit.
Really, it makes me unstoppably stupid.
Well, at least something in this country is growing.
And for the rest – there is my Telegram and FB.
