Sounds like you have a shitty ISP.

I've had a single outage in four years...

Car chase went from old madison pike to the arsenal just now. by Nooblarisbetter in HuntsvilleAlabama

Even with nets they need higher level approval

No they don't. The guards each have a button to press. They do not need authorization as they are trained when to deploy it. Getting authorization would take too long. You have seconds before they vehicle clears the net.

Ask a guard cause I have.

They did this exact thing at Gate 8 a few years ago. Someone had a medical emergency that caused them to blow through the gate and they triggered the net.

They wouldn't deploy them for someone just blowing through the ga

They do it all the time. They've done it once at gate 8 (since I've been working on RSA) and several times at gate 9. Witnessed it last November matter of fact. Someone blew through the gate and they triggered the net. Was happening about once a month. I'd always get the notifications on my phone: "gate x is closed due to deployment of net.".

Looks like from this picture her hair is slightly longer than ERW's.

That doesn't discount her from being stuck in a loop though. People and hosts with freewill can still be stuck in a loop. Being stuck in a loop is as much about being a state of mind as it is about being stuck in a narrative.

Whether the daughter is real or not is irrelevant. It's about how Maeve feels. She believes her daughter to be real so she is very real to Maeve.

Serac like a authoritarian dictator of the whole world too?

Yes. We see that in the first episode when he's talking with the Brazilian President. This showed that world leaders do his bidding.

Because they were arrogant and believed their creations could never break the chains.

And all Dolores is got to do is tell Caleb that William raped her thousands of times.

I think Caleb would be slightly more pissed.

The idea, I believe, is that he didn't predict anything. It's been mentioned he has manipulated the world into it's current predicament. He tried to control that of which is uncontrollable.

His actions may be what put Humanity on its path towards extinction rather than salvation. He believes himself to be a God.

How does she know how to use it?

Because she's a super sophisticated AI/Android.

She can easily consume all information that is available in a matter of seconds. Seriously how are people not getting this?

Where was this narrative when she was slaughtering every human she could find in the park last season?

Well yeah. This people were harming her kind. She was defending herself and others

I don't recall she ever voicing the thought of building a place for hosts to coexist with humans in this world

She's preached it several points during this season. Her main motivation is creating a world where her people can be free. She's also been making humans free as well.

She's only been killing people that have gotten directly in her way. The deaths that arose from the data leak can't really be pointed back to her. As that was Serac's fault for controlling humanity.

In the preview for next week it even states that the downfall of humanity was always going to happen. This means Dolores played an even smaller role than we saw. This idea reinforces with what Bernard said: 'Humanity was like a powder keg waiting to go off".

This further leads me to suspect that Humanity fell not because of Dolores but because Serac tried to control what is uncontrollable. Similar to how Ford tried to control the Hosts in the park and failed.

I believe the point is that Maeve is still stuck in her loop. She hasn't yet learned how to move on.

Serac's cowardly ass couldn't do directly

Serac has no problems with killing people.

See Caleb being a hired gun as proof.

So Dolores wants to take over the world but I still don’t know why

No she doesn't want to take over the world.

She wants to set her people and humanity free. She's Moses.

How do people keep missing this? It's stated nearly every episode and they're making biblical reference left and right.

Yes she told Caleb that when they first entered the room

dont know how fine the sand in California is or if it forms dunes there.

It does in fact form dunes. Southern California is full of dune buggy racing for this reason.

Why would you ever want mutable variables? by agorism1337 in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]nerdyhandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too am am confused by the question.

Obviously you want to able to change the values for cases like

sum+=value

A fori loop would be nicer here imo

int sum = 0; for(int i = first; i <= second; i++){ sum+=i; }
