A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels
  • But you don't carry the sign with you. It stays at the shelf. Sure, they could build a system that tracks you everywhere in the store and marks what price they showed you and tells the register what price to display when you check out. They'll try all that, but this won't do it yet.

  • A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels
  • Yeah, I'm not actually that worried. I've seen these in use at hardware stores for quite a while now. It's just useful to assume that Walmart is planning to fuck you over. That's a good point with BT though, many of the kind of microcontrollers that would be used for this sort of thing offer BT connectivity as well.

  • Medical Bill negotiation, how should one do it?
  • The deductible is an amount that you pay out of pocket before insurance starts covering anything. So if insurance doesn't get billed, the money doesn't count towards the deductible. This may make it difficult to lower the bill at all, it really depends on how much the entire bill is compared to your deductible. If you can't pay it though, they'll have to give you an affordable payment plan. Definitely negotiate and don't take a loan out from some other source to cover.

  • Starbucks accused of violating Americans with Disabilities Act by charging extra for non-dairy
  • I don't know the ins and outs of the ADA, but I disagree with your analogy. What Starbucks is doing is akin to Walmart charging a different price for milk and oat milk, which I don't think anyone would say is not allowed. It's not like there's a sheet of lactose you have to walk through to get into a Starbucks or anything, there's just things on the menu that people with some food allergies can't order.

  • The switch-case starts on line 83.
  • The most useful thing you can do for simple scripts is never use the same log string in two locations in your code. If you reuse strings it can become very confusing where a specific log line printed from. In addition, write logs that let you trace the execution of the program, down to some kind of identifier that allows you to determine (for example) the exact iteration of a loop that caused an error.

  • Just booked a week-long trip to Puerto Rico for Thanksgiving!
  • If you make your way up to Fajardo, Seven Seas Beach is beautiful. The House of Pastelillos is right next to the beach, had some great drinks and pastelillos. Kalizo was right up the street and had amazing seafood.

    Sandra Farms Coffee was a trek to get to, but the tour was literally just the group of 4 I was with and some of the best coffee and chocolate I've ever had.

    Make sure to try the rum cocktail pouches, they're literally everywhere lol. It's a gorgeous island with great people, you should have a great time. Just googling around we found more swimming holes than you could count a short hike away from some random road, especially around El Yunque.

  • In major breakthrough, researchers close in on potential preeclampsia cure
  • This new research has shown a specific protein is present in the blood and placenta in individuals with preeclampsia. That protein is also being investigated as a cause (or at least indicator) of Alzheimer's and lasting damage from traumatic brain injuries. Seemingly that's the only link so far, this particular protein. Assuming all this is repeatable and there's causation, the protein is probably a step along the way to a root cause.

  • FYI: Ed Sheeran is a scab.
  • I didn't know he had a new album coming out. Now I do. And now we're all talking about it. That's all they're looking for, more people discussing it so it's back of mind when it actually drops.
