Wouldn't it be better if you actually had a competent guy
I think you mean having a friend instead of a salesman. Friend that understand other friends needs is way better at recommending the right product than a salesman, since their goal is not about increasing sales but to have a good time.
The dumbest thing they could do is raise prices so they can hire "dumber" employees.

don't generally surf much on my phone. I do get gmail on it. And at home I have adblockers, ghostery and noscript. But I was at an event and I noticed some people "vaping". I was curious about it, so looked it up on the phone. I get back home, and am inundated with email and notifications regarding electronic cigarettes and vaping.
This might be a good opportunity to review your device and let us know which browser, search engine and phone you've used that caused the email. My biggest assumption is you've used google chrome app while signed in.
Here's what worked for me. A non-google browser app with ad block option/ script off option/ cookie off option/ private option, duckduckgo search engine, and a regular smartphone. You could get the Tor app too if you want and turn off gmail's personalized ads option.
Thank goodness none of the companies in the computer business do this.

Software company, but no working from home option? They prefer the expensive moving the office option instead of providing a cheap remote option especially for 'dead-end jobs' staffs?
This is 100% BS Survival Bias. You don't hear about the 90% who failed because they've failed. They've failed to even show you that they've failed.
Every time you see a store close down and newer one getting in (ex: a new Walmart), there's a high chance it is because the old one failed. It could be financial, commercial, management, competition or other cause of failure, but we will never know. This is especially when no one likes to talk about failure.
News like "nytimes" and the media don't show it because it is not exciting to talk about failure. Have the media ever show the the 4th, 5th and 10th winner of a contents? no? That basically proves the point.
The internet is wide enough to show the other side. There are still plenty of failure. In Our Cynical Age, A Lot Still Fail -- Everybody 'Hides in a Corner' when they do.
I might wish to play a game and associate and communicate and share only with my wife and kids... but the social shit brings my sister inlaw in, randos at work, the neighbors, vendors and clients, lawyers and accountants, etc... not everyone on my contacts list is my 'friend'; and I don't want to connect to the vast majority of people in my contacts with any given app.
You can get a separate email, phone number, and phone for those things you know. There are reasons for a separate work phone, personal phone and maybe home phone. If you like, you can also leave your work phone at work, separating your work with your personal life.

Last time I gave my friend a full list of comments from here. My friend said, "it's from slashdot, isn't it?" I said, "how did you know?". My friend then said, "they are all incomprehensible gibberish that I don't understand".
Maybe it's a slashdotter thing, but I'm proud of it.
Data Mining only improves product not the service. Restaurant is about the mix of both.
It doesn't take a genius to see that a dirt cheap waiter/ waitress forgetting an order, too busy with their phone, or impatient with serving their customers result in fewer customers to the restaurant. Mining the customers does nothing to improve the most common underline problem.
If they want data from customers, they are already too late as they should have known their customers before starting the restaurant. Let's use an example. If they wanted to create an India Curry Restaurant, they'll get people that 'like' India curry, not people that 'don't like' India curry. No matter what they do even with the data, they can't get the large share of people that want pepperoni pizza to eat India curry. (if they add pepperoni pizza in an India Curry Restaurant, they might want to rename the restaurant to 'Food Court' or 'Buffet')
At most, they can gather the demand of their orders which doesn't even need data mining. If more people ordered chicken curry, the restaurant should buy and sell more chicken curry. It is that simple. No data mining required.
It seems like the data mining thing is really just hypes for brainless manager to believe they did something, when it really didn't do anything helpful. We should just let supply and demand kill off those incompetently managed restaurant.
and at least 1 billion did not watched the fight and maybe 0.25 million knew about the fight only because it was streamed.
Although it's not sourced, they should know the publicity of the fight is pretty limited to their region (USA). If not for the streaming network, a lot of people wouldn't even know they exist.

The version before Avast bought it was version 5.32 on July 2017. Here we see version 5.33 with the Floxif malware after August 2017.
Coincidence? I think not.

Google actually deletes stuff? permanently deletes them? with an expiration date?
This is GREAT! For once data are deleted as expected instead of being 'hidden' in the cloud for future ads tracking! (unlike FB)
This is a moment for celebration!

13.2 - 8 hours sleep - 3 hours (breackfast, lunch, dinner) - 1 hour (bathroom) = 1.2 hours of inactive remaining

Then close email and close all web browsers.

I tried. But slashdot got a new article right when I was about to close it.
