Tempo 119 posted:Did they figure it out from some subtle change in her habits or is it just like every other rubbish recommendation engine "you bought a baby thing PLEASE BUY MORE BABY THINGS" what shops typically do is arrange stuff according to what is called "association rules", which in its simplest form is just aggregating a ton of data on which items are purchased together and using that to deduce something about the buyer's habits and intention - so someone buying bread, milk, salami and a newspaper is likely also going to buy, idk, tea or something, because they're shopping for breakfast. presumably this girl has been looking at stuff on the Target website associated with the "young, pregnant woman" costumer profile, making Target's sorting algorithm place her in that group and send ads based on that

I think BrewDog's beers are not very good. I wouldn't bother replicating the recipes even now that I can.

Almost there. It was actually B&M store purchases tagged by loyalty card and they sent the family discount coupons. Interesting thing about Tesco is they're valued as a real estate firm with their grocery business worth nothing (negative). A bit like Yahoo and Alibaba.

Brewdog made a beer with a label showing Putin in drag, sent him a case, and sent all the proceeds from that beer to LGBT charities. They're great. They do nice food as well, the new bar on Castlegate is braw.

Nicest beer I've ever tasted was Bullmastiff Special Reserve, which also happens to be a local brewery to Cardiff.

Well assuming someone doesn't steal that idea first I'm going to learn to mobile program so I can make Plonkr, the app that matches you with the closest available wine.

Can't you make it the cheapest available? And get it cross border if Britain chooses Remain. The best thing about free movement of goods between the UK and the Baltic states is the spirits and tobacco duty. Of course the EU tries to ban retailing those online because they're worried that it will lead to Incredible Savings, so it would have to be a p2p style app where it matches you up with a tobacconist in Klaipeda with mutual interests rather than doing any direct sales. Killer app.

Wasn't this guy accused of getting young girls so drunk they couldn't stand and then having sex with them? "Isolate, intoxicate and penetrate." Was his motto, or am I remembering something different.

Gotta be honest I'm a big fan of places that serve cheeseboards and varied ales and stouts even if it's a bit pricier. Brewdog, 6°North, Bottlecap, all great.

Everywhere you go people follow you in kilts doing the highland fling and playing the bagpipes. That or you hang out with some proper bellends. Brewdog beer is okay, their public persona is nauseating. You can't sell yourself as the rebellious beer for cool punks when you shift industrial volumes of the stuff as part of an international business.

kapparomeo posted:For a socialist, you are remarkably susceptible to targeted marketing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dOscmanykE They come across as incredibly disingenuous in all their marketing. Mass advertising campaigns to the indie/punk crowd while also claiming to be indie punks and then bragging about how successful they've been? I've seen their beer being sold in the extremely well known anti-establishment super market chain known as Tesco (ironically it was punk IPA). They're either incredibly smart or completely clueless. They're also quick to mock the homeless and sex workers in that video while also being quite misogynistic/transphobic. Oh no, you've decided to wear female clothing and get paid to have sex, how humiliating for you as big beardy men. Abusing the homeless is hilarious as well! Also this doesn't even make loving sense. Transgender (and then postgender) beer? How the gently caress did they decide that this was a good idea? Edit: They did give free treats to my dog on her final visit back hom in their pub, and they do good pie and gravy. Good on them for that at least.
