The article on big numbers is rather outdated: “And in Go, which has a 19-by-19 board and over 10150 possible positions, even an amateur human can still rout the world’s top-ranked computer programs.”

I do think it's daft that you have to validate your pass on the platform, rather than in the tram.

The trams in Paris have the things to stick your pass on / your ticket in in the area between each set of doors. It means you can just run on.
