One advantage of the RFID, is that you can modify the ticket while using it. This is actually what made Montreal choose that solution. There's no internet connection to validate the tickets, they just update the ticket to say they are

A camera can easily catch someone with an hammer, it's kind of much harder to go one by one to destroy them that way and it's also probably much more dangerous to try to break something connected to the power lines like that. Thi

Their AOT solution was clearly too complex for some potential clients, that seems like the real reason they rewrote it all, support for higher Java version is mostly a neat benefit (though Java 9 did still support Applet from my understandi

At first glance it seems to only support bitmap? I means it does seems great, but I believe a big part of Flash is the vectorial format, it's not baked into the image, and it does look "good" in many resolutions. You can iter

Are you kidding? You definitely don't have an effective tax rate of 48%... Here in Quebec (which has the highest tax rate) that would make you higher than 400k a year... (45% at that point) [1]. You most probably meant marginal rate, a

I means the world isn't binary, obviously there's risk in everything. There's not much incentive to jack prices up 10x, it's their revenue, by doing so they will probably lose some. There's incentive though to not o

People can be wrong and can sound quite plausible too. The key is to verify... and that's true for AI and people too, though for sure that's not something people are used to do sadly.

The amount of commercial games that used (and still does actually) Flash is much higher than many could believe. Jackbox is probably one that many here have played in the past few years. Some games used it only for UI, like Borderlands.

I'm trying that right now. It can probably do it, the big issue right now is that it won't give really long answers and just stop in the middle, which can be avoided by asking him to finish it, but it doesn't always works.
