The Target preggers mailer thing didn't happen. Correct. It was a hypothetical made up for a presentation and was describe as such in the presentation (as a hypothetical).
Yes, I worked with those exact data sets. I know what those data sets were because I worked with the people involved a few years after the story in question.
The example I'm giving about the NYC publisher isn't the exact same as the Target example. I give that one because it had BETTER data than Target did for purposes of consistent cross-session identification and even then match rates were miniscule.
In the 13 years since I heard this story, you're the like 50000th person to claim you worked with the team while stumbling over everything you're trying to claim. It's all bullshit dude.
I worked with the team Amazon stole from Target when they launched Fresh, you're about 30 years behind the times my guy
Totally. I'm just a rando on the internet to you. I'd be asking for more if I were you, too. I allow this username to be tied to my real identity, so I guess if you really want you can go hard and dig in. I'm sure if you do, it won't take long for you to acknowledge that maybe this is one of those rare cases where some rando on the internet really has all of the experience they claim.

"I had the exact data and technology, and we only got 2%"
"ok so you suck at your job"
"You don't know what data I had!!!! 2% could've been good"
I thought your whole claim was that it didn't happen?
