Its amazing how slow and inconvenient are America moving towards new technology. In Asia we typically browse using online system and no own fumbled it yet somehow on this tech website, everyone fumbled it.
Must be wonderful having everyone in the continent of asia having a charged phone and cell reception in every restaurant. Us Americans are not so lucky.
A good number of problems solved elsewhere are routinely proclaimed as unsolvable in the U.S. Solutions are categorically rejected in the U.S. because implementation is somehow uniquely crappified. The worst form of American exceptionalism.
HN is so ironic, they complain and criticize everything but fail to understand QR code. Are they actually a programmer or only acting like it. India already have UPI implementation while in the USA they need apple to save their useless banking system and still fail to move on with tech.
It's weird that people hate QR codes so much. Perhaps is it phenomenon only in the US? It's just a information encoded as a square, not something like Skynet.
