Netflix's 'Murder Mystery' Would've Killed in the Theaters | Fortune - 0 views

fortune.com/...rder-mystery-cast-adam-sandler netflix Entertainment
shared by isoldatenkova on 24 Jun 19 - No Cached
  • Murder Mystery scored a record-breaking 30.8 million viewers—the highest weekend ever for a Netflix debut—which would put its theoretical global haul $278.1 million—great results for Netflix and Sandler, who signed a four-movie deal with the streaming service in 2017.
  • Murder Mystery does prove is that Netflix’s deal with Sandler and its other forays into original filmmaking can produce blockbuster results.
  • To be fair, Toy Story 4 is expected to have a worldwide opening of $260 million, but Netflix is still clearly winning by putting out a middling movie that people can watch in the comfort of their own home, in the backseat of a car, or wherever else they choose.

  • Исследователям удалось установить взаимосвязь между характеристиками личности и типичными «маршрутами» движениями глаз. Таким образом, пословица «Глаза — зеркало души» нашла свое научное подтверждение. На основании полученных данных было разработано программное обеспечение, позволяющее распознавать, насколько человек сознательный, общительный, толерантный, любознательный. И даже определить, насколько он эмоционально устойчив.
  • Еще один удачный пример практического применения отслеживания взгляда с помощью ИИ-алгоритмов — решение, которое позволяет предвосхитить, что человек хочет увидеть.
  • Например, вполне вероятен отказ от привычных манипуляторов типа компьютерной мыши, стилуса или дизайнерского планшета.

Google backs a bid to use CRISPR to prevent heart disease - MIT Technology Review - 0 views

  • Ever wonder why some fortunate people eat chips, don’t exercise, and still don’t get clogged arteries? It could be because they’ve got lucky genes.
  • Now Alphabet (Google’s parent company) is bankrolling a startup company that plans to use gene editing to spread fortunate DNA variations with “one-time” injections of the gene-editing tool CRISPR.
  • Right now, to avoid heart disease you can pop statin pills, change your diet, and jump on an exercise bike. But people have a hard time sticking with it. The scientists at Verve think if they can install lucky genes in your body, you may not have to. Initially, Kathiresan says, the gene-editing treatment could be used on adults who have actually had a heart attack and want to avoid a second one.

  • It is taking more researchers and money to find productive new ideas, according to economists at Stanford and MIT. That’s a likely factor in the overall sluggish growth in the US and Europe in recent decades.

What McDonald's Latest Acquisition Means for Marketers - 0 views

www.entrepreneur.com/...332239 Technology Economy
shared by isoldatenkova on 27 Jun 19 - No Cached
  • McDonald’s recently announced that it is acquiring personalization software vendor Dynamic Yield, for a reported $300 million or more. This “supersized” deal took many of us who pay attention to the personalization space by surprise. But the underlying message behind the deal shouldn’t surprise anyone: personalization matters. It’s undoubtedly worth investing in.
  • This is what McDonald’s is planning to do with its latest acquisition. It is planning to understand what each person is interested in ordering based on a number of factors such as the weather or what he has started to order, decide in the moment what menu options are relevant to that person, and respond with those options in a seamless way.
  • McDonald’s acquisition shows us that forward-looking companies are prioritizing personalization and putting it at the very center of their CX strategy — even those you might not expect. It shows us that personalization is not just about a single digital channel like a company’s website or email campaigns. It can truly be integrated anywhere.
