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.

Key: "Donald Trump is driving very much an America First and a more isolationist kind of view. Actually, it's quite different, it's a very different foreign policy than we've ever seen. So that probably doesn't help New Zealanders much. But on balance, I think he's probably better for the economy.“

Won’t China just make their own milk proteins, thereby decimating our dairy industry?

This tech will happen. Hopefully we can put our lands to better use.

The media? This is Verstappen's direct quote when asked about Marko:
