Read previewCreator-commerce company LTK thinks platforms like YouTube and TikTok are at a major disadvantage as they push into affiliate marketing. These platforms are betting big on social shopping and have introduced a suite of in-app shopping tools and features for creators and customers. Now, the platform offers a variety of shopping tools, including an affiliate-marketing program that pays creators commissions for the sales they drive through clickable affiliate links. Still, Yazdian said creators want to have all their shopping links in one place. LTK also offers several tools tied to specific platforms to help creators move their followers to their LTK storefronts.

Hugo Swart, formerly Qualcomm's head of XR, joined Google's AR group in April to lead ecosystem strategy and partner relationships. Related storiesMark Lucovsky, a senior director on Google's AR software, left last July, citing "changes in AR leadership and Google's unstable commitment and vision" to the product. "Doing anything first-party is a challenge relationship-wise," said a former Google AR team member. There is internal speculation that Samsung will be the first to also build glasses with Google's AR software, according to two employees familiar with the matter. Without a device of its own and with its AR software still in development, Google now finds itself on the back foot.

New York CNN —Stop & Shop is closing 32 underperforming grocery stores across the US northeast as part of the company’s efforts to improve its financial performance. Shoppers are also being squeezed by higher prices at the grocery store, with food prices experiencing modest upticks last month, according to the newest inflation report. Ahold Delhaize, the chain’s Dutch parent company, revealed the locations Friday adding that they will close in early November. Stop & Shop said it “remains committed to serving its communities through other store locations, online shopping and home delivery services.” Employees impacted by the closures will be offered other opportunities in the company. In addition to operating Stop & Shop, Ahold Delhaize owns Food Lion and Giant grocery stores in the US.

☆ U.S. cities are sinking. Here's what that means for homeowners

The land below many U.S. cities is sinking, including New Orleans, New York City, Miami and south San Francisco. This phenomenon, known as land subsidence, can severely affect the integrity of buildings and infrastructure. Problems associated with land subsidence can cost U.S. homeowners 6% of their home value. Their research focused on the Central Valley of California, but Nemati said the findings could be extrapolated nationwide. Consumers are likely to see the effect of land subsidence directly, in the form of problems with their home, and indirectly, in the form of issues for their local economy.

☆ Donald Trump Is Unfit for a Second Term - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +5 min

If Mr. Trump has these qualities, Americans have never seen them in action on behalf of the nation’s interests. This record shows what can happen to a country led by such a person: America’s image, credibility and cohesion were relentlessly undermined by Mr. Trump during his term. Mr. Trump has shown, repeatedly, that he does not. The lack of moral grounding undermines Mr. Trump even in areas where voters view him as stronger and trust him more than Mr. Biden, like immigration and crime. But there are good reasons to worry about whether that would happen again, as Mr. Trump works harder to surround himself with people who enable rather than check his most insidious impulses.

A "good" price for something today may have seemed outlandish five years ago, and it's understandable to wonder whether today's price is just as fleeting. The whole idea of what's a good price for a 12-pack of carbonated soft drinks has changed dramatically over the past few years." Plenty of companies can move their prices, whether by using dynamic prices or downright raising prices, because they're the only game in town. The answer to getting accustomed to high prices is basically to forget what those numbers were in 2019.

Under the long-standing law, companies can face ruinous penalties for price discrimination only if they're discriminating against other businesses. Tyler Le/BII say low-grade shock because at the time personalized pricing discrimination was far less widespread and harmful than it is today. And many of those that don't disclose using personalized pricing still do it. AI pricing also means that those who are the most desperate and most vulnerable will often pay the most. So much of AI pricing acts as a regressive tax, charging those with the most the least.

Fatemeh Bahrami | Anadolu | Getty ImagesIran on Friday elected its first "reformist" president in 20 years, signaling many voters' rejection of hardline conservative policies amid low turnout of just 49%, according to official figures. Iran's sole reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian and ultraconservative Saeed Jalili are set to go to runoffs after securing the highest number of votes in Iran's presidential election, the interior ministry said.
