Vi Aliens – 70 seconds for a level! They are here!

Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and 13 colleagues wrote to the CEO of the supermarket behemoth #Kroger in November about electronic price tags (often called #electronic #shelf #labels or #ESLs ).
These digital displays allow companies to change prices automatically from a mobile app.
Tlaib warned that this so-called “#dynamic #pricing” permits retailers to adjust prices based on their whims.
Just as #Uber raises prices during storms or rush hour, retailers like Kroger use ESLs to adjust prices based on factors like time of day or the weather.
Supermarkets could conceivably mine a shopper’s personal data to set prices as high as possible.
“My concern is that these tools will be abused in the pursuit of profit, surging prices on essential goods in areas with fewer and fewer grocery stores,” Tlaib wrote.
In August, Senators Elizabeth #Warren and Bob #Casey wrote to Kroger raising similar concerns about #price #gouging.
Noting that the company has already implemented the technology in hundreds of stores across the county, they warned that
“ESLs may help Kroger extract maximum profits from consumers at a time when…high grocery prices are a leading concern among Americans who are concerned about inflation.”
Warren and Casey also voiced concern about Kroger’s partnership with Microsoft to install #facial-#recognition technology in stores,
which could be used to identify individual customers:
When a shopper approaches the shelf, she would see a price calibrated specifically for her.
The next shopper might pay a different amount based on their profile.
Retailers could use shopper data to charge higher prices to those who can afford to pay more, but since stores do not have to disclose who is making pricing decisions or why,
the senators worry that shoppers on a budget are particularly vulnerable.
“It is outrageous that, as families continue to struggle to pay to put food on the table, grocery giants like Kroger continue to roll out #surge #pricing and other corporate #profiteering schemes,” they wrote

"The reason I've spent so much energy explaining this is because I want you to know why so much business software fucking sucks. If you're reading this, I'd put the likelihood that your company (or a partner) makes you use some sort of janky, horrible business software that sucks, and the reason it sucks is because this industry is built off the back of outpricing the competition, creating an inescapable gravitational pull on your organization and selling to people who don't actually use it."

A link editor has more features than most people are aware of because most of the time one does not need to be aware of them as your toolchain drives the process.
But, in the olden daze, you may have had to learn the non default options available.

Avoid Dragging Tactics
Prolonged tactics lose effectiveness; keep them engaging and dynamic.

Hello #Mastodon!
#New #Introduction!
I #changed #instances. Most of my #info can be found on my #profile. I'm a #simple #guy with a #dynamic #outlook. I am a self proclaimed #artist. I like to listen to and make #music (Mainly #EDM & #HipHop). In my free time I like to surf the #Internet or #play #games. I love #cats and #dogs of all breeds. I have #studied #business #admission and #law. I have work background in #Security and #Managment. I hope to meet many #interesting people while on here.
Question for #IT #networking gurus.
I'm coding a little #selfhosted service and one of the features I'd like it to do is validate that the user's #dynamic #dns and port forwarding are setup. Like if we run this service mapped to http://mydomain:port, I just want something out there that can, when requested, make a predetermined req. TO that uri to see if its working.
And if not, to know *that*, maybe why.
I can write and host such a thing, but suspect this might be already solved.
