Walmart Pay continues to block Apple Pay, rolls out antiquated QR code-based ‘Walmart Pay’

“QR code-based payments have their benefits like tying debit and credit card transactions to store reward cards and saving receipts in one step, but they still don’t beat the convenience of NFC-based methods like Apple Pay which are less finicky and more secure,” Zac Hall reports for 9to5Mac.

“Major retailer Walmart, however, is pushing forward with its plans to make checking out…

By Nandita Bose CHICAGO (Reuters) - A retailer-backed rival to Apple Inc's Apple Pay mobile wallet will be tested with customers in a handful of stores in the next few weeks, ratcheting up competition in an increasingly cluttered market.

A Visit From Kendrick Lamar — Best Day Of School Ever?

A New Jersey high school teacher used the rapper's latest album to teach a unit on Toni Morrison's novel, The Bluest Eye. Lamar found out about it, and decided to stop in for a visit.

My friends and I were just discussing this. Supremacy has caused a feeling of inferiority from others towards us and even amongst ourselves as the minority. And this is due to systemic issues placed upon us in many, many areas....one big area being education.

It's time to start TEACHING and it's time for children (especially OUR children) to learn and grasp the nature of the context to use to progress themselves.

This teacher Brian Mooney, in this particular story, did exactly that. Music is most certainly a form of journalism and he showed that in a respectful and EFFECTIVE manner by combining the knowledge and words from Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye” and also Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly. I respect Mr. Mooney beyond words for CARING to show these students what they are about. And I respect Kendrick Lamar for solidifying that.

As the young girl stated: “I can connect to it because it’s a language I can understand. Music is one of those universal languages and it’s the best teaching tool you can implement in schools...”

Puzzles in Plain Sight: Coded Puzzles!

In today's blog post, a coded puzzle sneaks up on me in a short story collection!

Given the nature of my line of work, I think about puzzles a lot. But, as it turns out, even when I’m not thinking about puzzles, puzzles seem to find me anyway. As followers of our Instagram account know, last night I was reading a collection of supernatural short stories, Dark Detectives, edited by Stephen Jones. Partway through a story titled “Vultures Gather,” I encountered the following…
