Abstract: A content server system provides a user of a client device with a playlist of content, such as streamed audio. The provided playlist is customized for the particular country of the user, even if the content server system has only recently begun to provide content to that country. To customize the playlist for a country lacking a sufficient amount of country-specific statistical data, the content server system generates a number of non-country-specific channels, each channel recommending content according to its own criteria. The content server system generates a non-content specific playlist by combining the channels. The content server system also generates, using the statistics for the country of the user, a country-specific channel that is specific to that country. The content server system generates a country-specific playlist by combining the non-country-specific playlist with the country-specific channel, e.g., according to the amount of country-specific statistics that are available.

Abstract: Many content systems (e.g., social networks) present to a user a set of content items posted by other individuals. The user may selectively view content items that reinforce and are consistent with the user's perspective, creating an “echo chamber” effect. Conversely, content systems that selectively expose users to content items exhibiting contrary perspectives, and from individuals with no connection with the user, may alienate the user. Presented herein are techniques for recommending content items that present a different perspective from that of the user, and from individuals who share a similar profile to the user (e.g., alternative opinions from other individuals within the user's social circle or community). Optionally, opinions may be selected that do not directly oppose the user's perspective, but that are orthogonal with it. Such selective recommendations may persuade the user to consider contrary viewpoints that may alter the user's perspective while reducing user alienation.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating business logic into a database system is disclosed herein. A database system may comprise a first database cluster H and a second database cluster L.
