Acquiring an interactive digital content item including a plurality of content portions includes receiving a first set of the content portions that is less than an entirety of the content portions. A partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item is presented using the first set of content portions. A second set of the content portions is received while the partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item is presented. Functionality is added to the partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item using the second set of content portions without interrupting presentation of the partial functionality version of the interactive digital content item.

Presenting digital content item with tiered functionality

Described herein are various technologies pertaining to reconciling financial transaction information. A system for reconciling financial transactions can utilize incremental processing. Normalized financial data can be processed with submitted financial data identifiable from data derived from submitted financial data. A pluggable framework can utilize payment provider specific configuration data, a plugin model that provides information regarding a syntactic structure of financial data, and a plugin reader that provides semantic information regarding financial data. A distributed computation platform can utilize distributed computational units to utilize dynamic programming to derive a balance for particular accounts. Results from the distributed computational units are reduced into a point-in-time report. A first data version and a second data version from a particular payment provider can be retrieved. These data versions can be simultaneously maintained and accessible by a data consumer. Changes between the versions can be identified and provided to the data consumer.

Telemetry data from a plurality of peer computers of a peer-to-peer network is aggregated via a computer network. Each of the plurality of peer computers sends telemetry data related to transfer of a digital content item within the peer-to-peer network. A content-acquisition request querying for a recommended content source to provide a first digital content item is received from a first peer computer of the peer-to-peer network via the computer network. A response to the content-acquisition request is sent to the first peer computer via the computer network. The response identifies a second peer computer of the peer-to-peer network that has the first digital content item as the recommended content source. The second peer computer is selected according to a peer selection metric derived from the telemetry data aggregated from the plurality of peer computers.

Personalized media charts are described. In embodiments, a request can be received for a personalized media chart that lists media assets as recommendations in a relevant order for a user. The media assets are initially ordered in the personalized media chart according to a chart rank for each media asset. A relevance factor is then determined for each of the media assets, where the relevance factor for a media asset indicates a relevance of the media asset to the user. A chart rank adjustment is calculated for each of the media assets based on the relevance factors for each of the media assets, and the media assets are then reordered in the personalized media chart according to the chart rank adjustments for each of the media assets.

Personalized media charts

Systems and methods for personalized media recommendation are provided. One example system may include a media server including a media database containing a plurality of media tracks and a database schema defining multiple media styles. The media server may further include a media delivery engine configured to transmit media tracks to each of a plurality of media clients. The system may further include a feedback module configured to receive history data from each of the media clients. Further still, the system may include a recommendation engine configured to compute a plurality of user-specific style weights, and to select one or more recommended media tracks for each user, The recommendation engine may be further configured to send a recommendation message to the media client including media links to the recommended media tracks on the media server, to cause the media client to display the media links to a user.
