Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Those e-ink screens were already trouble during the pandemic inflation period when so many item tags didn't match the price when rung up at the register.
Individual pricing is only going to cause more problems with register and shelf price mismatch.
The more we disrupt them, the harder time they’re gonna have
Oh no, now they're going to be wirelessly connected. The problem I foresee is the price changing between when I see it and when I check out. Also, if that's solved and I see a bunch of people grabbing an item I may just hang out for another 40 minutes and ask for a price check at the register. See if it's come back down yet.
Either that or shop with a jamming device. Oops, nothing works.
