In 2011, a surveillance camera in a #Jakarta #supermarket captured a mysterious glowing figure descending from the sky, briefly touching the ground before quickly vanishing. Enthralled, some mystic enthusiasts believe this to be the appearance of an angel, awestruck by what they consider a divine manifestation. #angel #miracle https://activite-paranormale.net/video/read/589/an-angel-filmed-one-night-in-jakarta-in-2011
But I think they are not compatible with #capitalism 😕

Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether.
Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.

The biggest retailers in the #UK, including #Co-op, #Tesco and #Sainsbury’s, have agreed to implement new face-scanning #technology, which looks to help the #police crack down on #shoplifting.
...
According to The Times, #Pegasus is set to receive £600,000 from ten supermarkets including #JohnLewis, Co-op, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, #Waitrose and Next.
The supermarkets pay for the surveillance so that the police can do its job? That sounds more like #cyberpunk than #1984.

I compared 40 product pairs across the two biggest chains. And lo and behold: their prices matched exactly to the cent! 🛒
...
We could also show that the exact same product cost up to 40% less in #Germany, a country with higher mean income and higher cost of living. 🤷♂️

Mr Ostriakov, a #homeless man of Ukrainian background, had taken the food "in the face of the immediate and essential need for nourishment", the court of cassation decided.

Back in 2015, the EU presented an action plan for a circular #economy and vowed to “close the loop”. In the #future, raw materials like plastic should circulate endlessly. From production to the #supermarket, to the dining table, to the rubbish bin and back to the recycling plant. New plastic would seamlessly emerge from old. In a closed, circular system, raw materials would be reused again and again, and looming #climate and environmental #crises would be averted.
But as new #research by Investigate Europe documents, the #EU is still far from achieving this seven years after presenting its #recycling plan.
In the modern #supermarket you can see most clearly how far the #technology has brought our #civilization, provided that you can still afford the #food after inflation.
The biggest rise is in basic foods, you know, the ones which nobody can do without, least of all the poor.
Attached to the ceiling above the gray shiny floor, watching as people enter the store, is a camera. The device scans faces, matching them against a corporate database of suspicious, potentially criminal shoppers who have been placed on a watchlist
The cameras are in breach of data rights and individual privacy
Every time a customer walks into a shop or business that uses Facewatch’s system, a biometric profile is created
Facewatch also adds to their watchlist subjects of interest posted on police websites
If staff have reasonable grounds to suspect a customer of committing a crime, whether it’s shoplifting or disorderly conduct, they can add the customer to a Facewatch list of “subjects of interest.” Facewatch’s policy notice says that the police also have the power to upload images and data to Facewatch’s system.
