Halo CE saved the Xbox and Halo 2 online pretty much solidified modern online FPS gaming. COD BLOPs and others are all built around the innovative party system, voice chat (I miss proximity voice...), etc.

The open world tease bungie did prior to acquisition (so, around the time Steve Jobs presented Halo at Macworld) was not all that impressive, from a multiplayer perspective.

For a fun side project probably not, no. Anything past that (even a small scale beta) and yes $15 is quite expensive for what you are getting.

I've found that if I ever do a Facetime call on my 2015 ESC Macbook pro, my Airpods use the same terrible quality audio channel. Very frustrating to say the least!

I agree here - if you tie to revenu and get too expensive (to me, over $500-100 a month), I’d find the dev time to replace this before we “overpaid”.

Should we teach our children about the history of mass murderers and millennia of crimes against humanity? What about the massive problems their generation will face, in geopolitical, environmental, and other problems?

Your logic, in a vacuum, makes sense... but most parents cherish the few years of their child’s innocence, and would prefer to avoid teaching them in 3rd grade that you think it can be appropriate to drop F bombs under certain logical conditions.

Moreover, opinions that start with “you should” are unlikely to convince your audience.

/endrant. Sorry your comment just struck me as rude lol.

This would be the worst answer.

Technology like that will certainly be abused.

I changed my about to have a phonetic spelling of my email address, hosted on a very popular domain name. Feel free to toss me an email

For my wedding I tried to not have any technology on me for photos. I always feared having a great photo like that one - but then it can look "dated" with an iPhone 6 in it.

Without that iPhone, that photo could be from anytime 1950-2020!

Rather than the Camelot link you provided, I think you meant Excalibur? https://github.com/camelot-dev/excalibur

Can you send me a copy of what you are trying to extract? We use proprietary stuff (we're in the business of extracting data and performing analysis on invoices for waste, recycling, cellular, etc... stuff that gets "lost" in the AP department.

Happy to see if our tools can help. I've tried everything on the market - DocParser, MediusFlow, KOFAX, Ephesoft, etc... none work well enough in my opinion.

I think your comment typifies the tribalism and faction-based shaming that OP was alluding to.

Telling Republicans “there is no legitimate reason to vote Republican anymore” is not a logical argument that will win people over.

That’s not what happens in voluntary chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The Trustee takes the assets and auctions it. You are thinking of ch. 11

i second this! It is pretty intuitive, has nice gesture implementation.

I’m sure there are email apps with a little more design beauty, but outlook reigns.

I mean that 'single stream recycling' has pushed 'diversion from landfill' and 'recycling' rates so high that it has changed the composition of what our recycling actually consists of.

Take a fictional recycling truck driving through a residential neighborhood - 10% or more of the material inside the recycling bins is going to be contaminated 'wish-cycled' material, such as barbecue laden plastic plates, nylon ropes, grease-stained pizza boxes, and soiled paper products.

I get your point but the “recyclables” we produce as Americans are not really recyclables. They are 90% recycling, 10% trash, or worse.

This tech is already applied to MRFs and it still doesn’t work 100% if the time, causing downtime on the line, and lost revenues.

Great point. Out of curiosity, what happened in the accident that the driver was comfortable inviting you into his car? In many environments/scenarios that would seem risky, particularly after a traumatic event like a car accident.

I understand your point but the software didn’t exclusively cause the death.

The software was known to be unreliable. In that way it did contribute to the person’s death. But so did the driver tasked with correcting the vehicle (who was watching Hulu), the technicians who disabled emergency brakes, and the company culture/management that thought this was safe in the first place.

On a side note, my iPhone X knows when I’m looking at the camera to use FaceID. If I look away, am asleep, or otherwise occupied, it won’t open the phone. I’m not sure why Uber doesn’t use similar technology, in conjunction with steering wheel sensors to identify hands on the wheel, to force operators to stay alert. This seems particularly important if the software is unreliable.

I have done this in the past and its the way to go for sure.

I’ve read this about 4 times and I still can’t quite figure out what this comment is trying to communicate.

As a fellow member of the waste and recycling industry, thank you for your work. I love Smart City and Waste Dives.

Glass bottles are only valuable if they are not broken. However a lot of bottles break as part of any recycling or reuse process.

Play balzebub it’s awesome. I grew up on D1 and it’s my favorite

Are you advocating for zero money down mortgages?

That’s what causes market crashes.

What I find most interesting is that none of the top rivers are North American - which to me says that while the North American method of waste disposal is still not as efficient as Europe’s, it does seem to work.

I wonder what the consumption of plastics are in NA vs other industries.

You should code from an RV. Not kidding

I second the motion.

So in addition to a pack of dongles for basic connections, do you carry a can of compressed air in your pack as well?

Give me a break, Apple

Why

A technology/IoT solution to a problem that should never exist in the first place, brilliant!
