Found an interesting resource for learning English. I was looking to rewatch “Scent of a Woman” in its original version with subtitles, and voila, found something useful. It allows you to watch videos in the original version with subtitles, and when you hover over a word, it immediately translates the word right there in the video. You can turn on subtitles in both languages at once, which is very convenient. The Russian subtitles are small. And also, if you pause the video, the most recent subtitles are displayed – so you can reread what was missed not being understood in time.

I love such startups. Probably everyone around was saying, “Stop. What’s the point in investing effort, you’ll never have enough money to buy movie rights.” But the guys just ignored all these opinions and made something good for themselves. Probably, they don’t buy rights after all, and someday the range of videos will greatly diminish, but right now, there’s plenty to watch there.

You can click on a word, and it goes into a dictionary. Also, this site has one “how not to do things” pattern – at the bottom of the page there are various links, which are unreachable because a list of movies loads dynamically.

Hello everyone. I’ve come up with an idea for a rapid personalization engine for e-commerce, for which I need live traffic, big data. I would be very grateful if someone could send me the logs.

Any e-commerce logs that can be used to learn something and based on which some demonstrable conclusions can be made are suitable (for example, if a customer only browses a certain section or visits products from one group, they should be categorized under “favorite customers of this group”).

The only complexity is that most logs do not have a customer identifier. However, they do have IPs, which will suffice for now. But if anyone has customer IDs, that would be just perfect.

Ideally, I would also like to get data on orders. I don’t need surnames, first names, emails, or addresses. Even the names of the products are not necessary.

As a result, I plan to create a prototype system, which will receive messages from the e-commerce site, simplistically in the form of logs, and immediately, in real time, rules will be applied (I plan to use the Drools engine) such as: “[when] the customer has visited 10 pages from the sports section, [then] they should be shown a sports banner.” Information that customer X should be shown such a banner is sent back to the site, and the next time a page with banners loads, it will be displayed.

So, there is no such system yet, but I am sure I can build a prototype over the weekend or a little more. I am concerned about performance. I need to test all this with large volumes, a high frequency of events. That’s why I need the logs.

I will publish the results on a blog about hybris/e-commerce. I can either disclose or not disclose your data – it depends on your preference. Among the nearest topics related to this on the site, there is a recommendation system and three articles about Drools in e-commerce.

Major update on my blog. I’ve compiled over 200 examples of websites using SAP hybris. At the time of publication, they are all live and accessible. The list includes sites where hybris is used at least as a CMS. Those where CMS is something else, and hybris is just one of the components (for example, PCM) did not make the cut.

As they say, according to Google. Each little website comes with a screenshot, as well as a title and a brief description (as seen by the creators themselves, title + description).

The list is surely not complete. If you know of any sites not included, just send the URL, please.

Share&Like, please, if you find it necessary and useful.
