No. Incredibly confusing assumption of US hegemony. Looks like it should be about AUD$15,000.

* Printed URls are also opaque. How do you know if the correct website is whatever .com or whatever .org? * Printed URls often contain shortened links. I'd argue that most QR sticker overlays are also pretty inept. See a sample at h

This is a brilliant idea! Love the "take a photo" at the start. I assume (if you answer) it will go through WebRTC? Might be nice to play a "ding dong" sound in the browser?

Sorry, that's utter bobbins. QR codes can contain a limited set of data. There's no possibility of a buffer-overflow or malicious program. Every QR reader I've seen shows you the destination before taking you there. It might

Yes. It's a W3C specification. That said, the original 2001 version of the spec includes scripting https://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/REC-SVG-20010904... - so some decisions may be lost to time.

I can confirm that only my Slack account has been deactivated. Although, that said, I anticipate an eventual purge of all WP related accounts for users involved in Lèse-majesté. Regarding usage, I wouldn't expect to see an immediate de

I think your suspicions are wrong. Those $12 rings will allow you to serve NDEF messages or similar. They won't do U2F, payment, car unlock etc.

Yes. I have the Z1 Ring. Getting secure tokens (like payment, door unlock, etc) is possible but can be complicated. The ring is a small target, so not always easy to find the received if you're using it with a phone. Oh, and the softwa

I am white, but have very long hair and a beard. It was the touristy parts of Beijing where I got the most attention. Usually from tourists from more rural parts of China, or museums with lots of bussed in schoolkids.

While I haven't the same proficiency, I had the same "local celebrity" experience when visiting Beijing. While it is fun at first seeing people double take and then ask to take a photo with you - it gets old fast! Mind you, I
