Designing a schema for your relational database is a daunting task that has long term implications for the database's performance, maintainability, and correctness. And it often requires making decisions before having a clear picture of the exact shape and distribution of your data, or what the common access patterns will look like.

The Entire Run of ‘Squid Game’ Is Currently Dominating Netflix Ratings

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-09 19:30:01

Squid Game‘s three seasons in order of fan preference? Season one was easily the best. Season two brought mixed results. And season three is nobody’s favorite. But that doesn’t mean people aren’t still binging as if 45.6 billion won depended on it. The streamer’s latest ratings chart has Squid Game season three in the top slot; no surprise there. But the other seasons have climbed back up the global top 10 of non-English shows, with 2024’s season two at number two and 2021’s season one at number

Court nullifies “click-to-cancel” rule that required easy methods of cancellation

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-09 19:06:42

A federal appeals court today struck down a "click-to-cancel" rule that would have required companies to make cancelling services as easy as signing up. The Federal Trade Commission rule was scheduled to take effect on July 14 but was vacated by the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. A three-judge panel ruled unanimously that the Biden-era FTC, then led by Chair Lina Khan, failed to follow the full rulemaking process required under US law.

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void

Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In the grand scheme of things, it is, but all those stars, galaxies, planets, and other celestial objects may not be as uniformly distributed as photos make them look. The fact is, space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one.
