"Abandoned cart" emails from online sellers are perhaps one of the greatest self-owns I can think of. Maybe there are people out there who get one and go "Oh, yeah, I was gonna buy that and then decided not to, but maybe I should"? Perhaps?

Anyone I have ever discussed this with has found them creepy, pushy, and off-putting. They've all said it makes them *less* likely to buy from that merchant in future.

Thoughts? Do these emails make you buy things you had stopped halfway through the checkout process?

1. LEDs emit light. Light is an additive colour model. CMYK is a subtractive colour model. Never the twain shall meet.

2. I would kill to get a look at your black-emitting LEDs, genius.

This has been around for a while, but it's amusing as well as a pretty good take on "AI" and data science, at least as ~~practiced~~ talked about by CEOs today.
