univbee posted:From what I remember it was just audio splicing and actors doing "no please don't Arnold". Nah they “redo” the entire helicopter scene at the beginning with a completely different take including different actions and words, etc. They also digitally replace a former running man contestant with Arnold and the girl using some old footage of a fight with captain what’s his face (Jesse Ventura) to make it look like they got killed that way.

yeah the part with the helicopter was that the military ordered arnold who has flying the helicopter to shoot at a civillian protest and then when he refused the other guys in the helicopter incapacitated him and did it, then the government released a doctored video where it looks like the guy on the radio is saying please arnold dont shoot at those civillians and hes like i will kill all these civillians to make it look like the massacre was just the fault of one crazed lone wolf and the government wasnt evilly slaughtering the people

everything i've learned about being paid in the US military is that might happen if you get lucky but its more likely they'll wildly overpay it and then you go months earning basically nothing as they make up the difference

I like the bearded bald guy going for an unironic rendition of that meme about how women who like "manly" hobbies get bombarded with meaningless trivia questions. Doing it to a fast food points for extra points too. If I didn't know we live in hell I'd say it has to be a parody.

a cyberpunk goose posted:wendies is now my feminist icon “Yaas queen,” I said to the sassy composite sponsor personality, represented online by a line drawing of a young girl. “You should be president. It’s your turn.” “It’s your turn,” I repeated, clapping as I uttered each blessed word, adding emphasis to my prayer. Contrary to the promises of the corporate priest holders, I did not feel empowered by the ritual, but I believed with perfect faith that I would feel empowered in the next world. At that time and in that place would be my turn.

what you buy at the grocery store is like the only big-money buying habit that the online data companies arent hoovering up yet the grocery stores have that data of course either from a loyalty card program or just associating your purchases on the same credit card but i doubt theyre sharing Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 22:31 on Feb 8, 2019 |

retail sales data is the one kind the business involved actually needs to collect to make their stupid poo poo work. ofc retail businesses could just stop doing just in time logistics, but until then you desperately need that sales data to make your predictions

the grocery stores could always track inventory to plan what they need to order and when but tracking what each individual customer buys and then algorithmically offering them personalized advertisements or coupons to get them to buy more is relatively recent and took off about the same time that the online retailers started doing it e: like the teenage girl who target guessed was pregnant based off her buying certain products and mailed her a bunch of coupons to try and establish target as the store where she would buy all her baby poo poo Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 22:51 on Feb 8, 2019 |

monitoring fridge contents lets them know more or less when you're going to the store and what kind of store you tend to go to, gives them some insight into whether you're planning some kind of social event or get-together, gives an idea of lifestyle choices and cultural stuff, and so on

Reminder: Target has collected data to the point such that back in 2012 they could predict a girl's pregnancy before she had even told her parents (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/#e43e80a66686). they (and every other major retailer) almost certainly sell that data several times over, and have been for years/decades, especially the data harvested from membership records (what you buy at the supermarket, CVS, etc) god dammit shear I was writing this as you edited / nevermind I can't fuckin read look whatever your data is out there ok also excellent point re: the prenatal vitamins

I've seen that anecdote trotted out so many times by laymen to illustrate the power of data science that I wouldn't be surprised if it's founded on a lie. Not the part where a Target data scientist highlighted it but whether they actually had the ability to predict it reliably.

No doubt they had a model that was 84% accurate. The part they dont mention is that they're probably getting 10 false positives for every true positive.
