Ah, the war on drugs. What a colossal policy failure.
I don’t think it’s earned by Murdoch, but otherwise agree with the sentiment.
It’s not fine. They are not archiving the internet.
I had to ban their user agent after very aggressive scraping that would have taken down our servers. Fuck this shitty behaviour.
2027 is a sunrise date, meaning retailers are expected to have updated their checkouts to support scanning the 2D Barcodes.
Industry has set a date to make the transition to accepting 2D barcodes at point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-care (POC) — referred to as Sunrise 2027. By the end of 2027, retailers would need to ensure their POS systems are equipped with scanners capable of reading both traditional barcodes and 2D barcodes. The shift has already begun with the new technology being tested in 48 countries across the world, representing 88% of the world’s GDP.

I sell GTINs in multiple countries that are already trialing 2D barcodes.
Oh, it is. GS1 are driving it and by 2027 all retailers around the world are expected to be able to scan the QR code at checkout instead of a traditional barcode image.
GS1 call it 2D Barcode. It’s a QR code that embeds a GTIN https://www.gs1.org/industries/retail/2D-barcodes
the embedded link goes to a resolver, the functionality of which they have released so anyone can build their own resolver system.
I bet there's influence from Peter Theil in this, too.
Indeed. Then he blathers on about how Kamala would introduce more “red tape” and Trump would have a freer energy policy (coal I guess?). Overall, just a very weird, disconnected thought process from Key.

On a high dose of mushrooms, blindfolded in a dark room, and with earphones on, you won’t even know you’re a person who’s taken a drug
I have no idea why you’re getting down voted. It’s essentially true.
