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.

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.

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.
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.“

Ah, the 3DO. So much hype from Trip Hawkins.
> "Is this one motorway really worth one-tenth of our entire country's spending on schools, hospitals, houses and public transport infrastructure?"
> "More people are going to have to rely on cars and trucks to get around because we don't have a pipeline of alternatives like rapid transit, inter-city passenger rail, public transport and safe walking and cycling in our communities”

They’ve said they expected to take a bit of pain in qualifying, as they set up the car for a dry race. So hopefully they will be more competitive and it won’t be another slamdunk for Redbull.

The more pressure max is put under by not having the best car, the more petulance we will hear on the radio from him. And their relationship will start to break down.

> Jones is a controversial force in the new Government, with his nakedly pro-mining stance criticised for being anti-environment.
