I recently got a little database from a friend that incorporated all the secret Netflix categories found at this link http://ogres-crypt.com/public/NetFlix-Streaming-Genres2.html 

I helped extract the data and incorporated it into a little database created in Filemaker 17. the file can be downloaded here: https://app.box.com/s/nqbm86icr4aavt5n2f0qiu275e97sfw5 

It requires Filemaker 17 which can be downloaded for free (for 30 Days) from here: https://content.filemaker.com/filemaker-trial-en-rf

Human curation of Apple News stops it being ‘total crazy land’ – 9to5Mac

Apple has for the first time allowed a reporter to cover the human curation process used to pick which news stories are included – and featured – in the Apple News app.

The Cupertino company is unusual in having people, not algorithms, pick its top stories. That approach is highly controversial, giving around a dozen people control over what is seen by some 90 million people – but Apple believes it is the safer approach …

The New York Times has a lengthy piece on how Apple picks the five stories which top the app at any one time, exploring both the pros and cons of human curation. The team – headed by former NYT Magazine executive editor Lauren Kern – has to pick both the stories, and the source.

Apparently, the Activity complication on the Series 4’s Infograph Modular face doesn’t know how to handle a day that’s an hour short — so long as that complication is active, the smartwatch crashes and restarts until it runs out of power.
