accelerando

When Netflix sends me a movie, up to now it has usually told me to expect the disc in two days — longer if the nearest copy is somewhere other than San Jose (I’m in an adjacent county). In a year and a half, I’ve come to expect the disc to appear in my mailbox the day before Netflix tells me to expect it. Now, for the first time, Netflix tells me to expect today’s shipments tomorrow. “Good shooting, kid, now don’t get cocky.”
