You'll go crazy if you think this way. Watch <em>Room 237</em> if you doubt it. Accidents happen all the time on film sets. Sometimes they make the filmmakers look like geniuses; sometimes they're just continuity errors. I've worked in film and television production for over a decade, and I've seen plenty of both.
I'm not taking anything away from the show. It's clearly well thought-out and well executed. But it was still thought-out and executed by human beings, who make mistakes. This could be foreshadowing, or it could be the camera operator, DP, and/or director thought it was a nice shot.

This is a terrible movie, I watched this on HBO over the summer. I'll leave the rotten tomatoes link https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/vice_2015/ 4% is right about where I would put this movie, both Willis and Jane phone in their performances, along with cinematography that makes any prime time TV show look like an Oscar contender. I would skip this movie.
Also, interestingly the POP FUNKO figure of Musashi features him in Samurai armour which we are yet to see. Could this be a production error or maybe a return for his character in the finale or something? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vinyl-Figure-Westworld-Musashi-2017-Exclusive/dp/B0745HRVHF

The game is there since January 22nd and has between 10 000 and 50 000 downloads. I would try the game, but it's imcompatible with all my devices.
Tableau Vivant is commonly utilized in movement classes. How can a group of persons tell a story through a static image. It’s pretty striking in film; Herzog uses it to a jarring effect in a dinner scene in “My son, My son what have you done.” I love the tableau moments in WW. Very affecting.

And according to this, Sorin Brouwers is only in S1E3, S1E6, and S1E9 (refer to page 49). However maybe bodies on a cart don't warrant a mention.
OTOH, this seems to indicate he appeared in 6 of the episodes in Season 1.

This is a bit of a stretch but it could be allegorical-- Anne Lamont authored a book about writing entitled "Bird by Bird" which included an anecdote about her brother attempting to write a paper about birds, and upon being overwhelmed by the vast amount of information he had to work with, their father (also a writer) instructed him to take it "bird by bird." It's now a popular creative axiom about turning seemingly complicated projects into sets of approachable tasks. It's like, Westworld has presented us with a vast amount of information ripe for theorizing, tin foil tempered or otherwise, so it could be seen as a point when Maeve starts taking control of her own story. She has a lot going on with her dreams and revelations and instead of letting it ultimately drive her insane, she uses Felix and Sylvester to muster some semblance of control over herself and her life/loop, altering her personality matrix, bird by bird.

Delos was special in antiquity, because it was entirely a "holy island" and a huge place of pilgrimage. Athens "purged" Delos a number of times to make it holy and set apart. (It was a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo) The island had no resources of its own, even water was scarce, so almost everything needed to sustain the priesthood and personnel on the island had to be transported there. The purges removed all burials from the island and prohibited any subsequent burials. Delos was hugely important, also politically, and became an important hub for the mediterranean slave trade after the Romans conquered it and transferred jurisdiction back to Athens, thus ending Delos as an independent polis. Archaeology points to a great ethnic diversity of the population.

He's very posable.
There actually is no novelization of Michael Crichton's Westworld. If you do a Google search, you might find the <em>Westworld</em> book on Amazon. It's mostly the script of the 1973 film along with some behind-the-scenes excerpt where Crichton talks about the filmmaking process.
He originally tried it as a novel but couldn't get it to work because our fascination with the Wild West doesn't come from books. It comes from classic westerns. There's a great The Making of <em>Westworld</em> featurette on YouTube where he talks about it.
As CluasCorp user pointed out, this teaser IS available on YouTube, but just for HBO Nordic. If you want to see it, you will have to use a VPN, like TunnelBear, and spoof your country as "Norway".

Westworld is very heavily influenced by Existential Theory and man's search for meaning in our lives. If you want a good book to read I'd recommend the aptly titled "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. You also might enjoy looking at Spiral Dynamics in Psychology, because it is very similar to the aspect of the pyramid Arnold drew in the notebook then turned into "the maze"

You could set your own one up on DigitalOcean. That's what I did.
$5 per month, and I get theoretically up to gigabit throughput (since I don't have access to any gigabit connections, I can't find out). I think I'm capped at 1 Terrabyte per month though, but I don't get anything near that myself.

Of course, you need some technical ability to set it up. But it's a good bit of fun and a learning experience.
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi shares some common themes with Westworld. It's a dystopian post global warming future with a really unique south-east asian setting. The titular character shares similarities with Dolores and Maeve.

I actually develop drones for a living so we can do a quick thought experiment to figure out how much battery technology must have improved. Let's say a 200mph speed, and it needs maybe 12-15 seconds of endurance.
since elements like KV value for engines, propeller pitch ratios/lengths/blade numbers aren't factors that will change with technology (the constraint is physics), we have a starting point. I'm just going to take 4 of 2450kv Motors, along with with a generic 2 blade prop. Since this is the future we're going to assume a variable pitch so it gets the theoretical perfect thrust efficiency for its tip speed.
We have a desired speed (200mph), and this is at an angle, so I'm going to come up with a random coefficient of drag. let's say 1.4. Pretty low for a quadcopter. Lets say our area is 10 square inches (This is the area of the quadcopter viewed from the top)
All that goes into a drag calculator Here my results: Here which results in 42 newtons of drag that our aircraft has to overcome. Now have to divide that by sin(30) because the vehicle is at an angle (and must be in order to maintain lift), so we get 84 newtons.
Now, one last thing we do. How much voltage is needed? We get this from the parts we've selected (Again, I stress that these parts are not something we're going to improve on significantly). I'm going to use a personal calculator that I can't drop publically for privacy reasons but will PM if you doubt my numbers.
I calculate that batteries of the future need 45 volts. At this throttle setting the vehicle would produce 200 mph, the vehicle would need a battery with ~1500 MAH.
Roughly speaking, this means their batteries would need to be 3-4 times as good as they are right now. Is this plausible? I don't know, but I doubt it.
Well, it can be upsetting to have a company know so much about your life. On the other hand, seeing tech companies offer all these services (communication, cloud storage, access to information) for free should make you think that there's a catch and that you have to decide if it's worth it to pay them with your personal information.
The more we go into the future, the harder will be to not be profiled by tech companies. Rehoboam profiling people who are technically not online sounds too far-fetched? Well, Facebook has been doing that for years.
Then again, as I've realized a long ago, the only way to avoid being involved with companies that perform "evil" practices is to either become a complete hermit or live like Jason Bourne, which for me would be too much of a drag.
Whether it is a hospital with your medical records or the Uber app with your home/job location and daily routes, you're always at the mercy of an ill-intended employee to have your life ruined; but we can't let that sink us into paranoia.

I am a total noob when it comes to KLWP, so I used this KLWP preset https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=calmwave.kustom.pack&hl=en ... and replaced the two wave gifs with the two gifs from this https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld/comments/g141y4/westworld_rehoboam_eclipse_inspired_wallpapers/ ... reddit. There's a switch on the screen that lets you switch between the black and whit gif. It works great and is superawesome. Just needs a little tweaking in all the menus. Been rocking a Rehoboam ever since ! But some different gifs would be really nice.
Try this app:

That's interesting. HBO Now? Yeah netflix works in other countries they just don't have English subtitles for a lot of titles. I've been able to use ExpressVPN or NordVPN with Netflix but it can be limiting at times since they are trying to keep up with "fake" VPN locations. Cruncyroll and Hulu I think are mainly blocked outside of the country. Next time I'm out of the states I'll have to see if HBO changed but I always got the message unavailable to watch where you are currently. Or I couldn't even login with VPN, the app would just shut down or not open completely.
This is a bit more expensive but it looks a bit closer to the real thing.

You'll learn more about writing by putting pen to paper than you ever will in a book. Learning to write by reading a "how to book" is sorta like trying to learn how to sculpt or learn photography through a "how to book". You can learn the technical details but they won't make you good or great. The real learning is mainly through practicing your craft.
If you have a scene in your head, write it. Generally, it'll come out worse than what it was. Ask yourself why is it bad, how it could be better, and either edit or try again.
I'll say this though a good story telling resource is Writing Excuses, a good podcast. They're all novel writers but they generally talk about story. Scriptnotes is great for learning the industry. On Writing and Invisible Ink in terms of books. You'll become a better storyteller mainly by writing though.
Also, first time writers have a problem with making scenes build to tell a story. Go watch the south park guy's video about "Therefore" or "But". Ingrain it into your head. For new writers that video is more valuable than almost any book.
It's not a semantic argument: It's a technical one. There is no such thing as a "neutral accent" from an objective linguistic perspective. Different dialects are viewed by society as neutral or as having greater or lesser prestige, but that's a function of social pressures, not of the structure of the language itself. A "standard dialect" of a language is not some sort of Ur Ancestor from which all other dialects of that language descend; it is standard merely as a result of who speaks it, and it shifts over time just as other dialects do.
So, yes, colloquially people refer to a "standard" or mainstream accent as being "no" accent. But that's exactly my point: The line in the episode reflects a typical layperson's view of linguistics, which in many ways is demonstrably contrary to linguistic fact.
If you'd like to do some reading on the subject, <em>American English: Dialects and Variation</em> by Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling is a good starting place.
> That's last in the book so either I've read the book or I had read the wikipedia page before you mentioned it
You already said you didn't read the book, so yeah, the table of contents in the wikipedia article mentioned it, or you pulled it from a quote site. We already know you didn't read it.
> h, and it also happens to be very near the bottom of the wikipedia page, suggesting that I did in fact not only read the first paragraph.
Or one of those other options. Good job, though. I'm sure you totally grocked the book of the void in all its context by skipping to the end of the wiki article (assuming that's what you did).
> You still don't get it do you. The downvotes are there because you aren't even making arguments for your cause.
I don't need to argue. You haven't read the book, you don't know enough about it to make any suggestions about its material. It's a book about martial prowess and the mindset with which you approach combat. Trying to pull anything else out of it is a fool's errand- which you've proven by trying to do without so much as an initial reading.
You aren't equipped to talk about it. I tried to be nice, but you just aren't. Let me know when you've given it a nice, respectful reading, and then we can talk.
Here you go. It's cheap and if you use that link something will go to charity. Buy it, read it over a month or so (it's short, but not meant to be taken in a single brief reading), and come back when you have an opinion worth taking into account.
> two can fail without the entire thing failing
Depends on how they wired it.
>You could also potentially control brightness.
I sincerely recommend the book Unweaving The Rainbow that delves into the subject. Here's a quote from it: > > “There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, a sedative of ordinariness which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence. For those of us not gifted in poetry, it is at least worth while from time to time making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic. What is the best way of countering the sluggish habitutation brought about by our gradual crawl from babyhood? We can't actually fly to another planet. But we can recapture that sense of having just tumbled out to life on a new world by looking at our own world in unfamiliar ways.”
The book that expounds the theory.

I'm currently looking at UCSD to transfer for my Cognitive Science BA, from what I've read they're one of the best schools in the world for it because it's not a "branch" of the Psychology department, it's an entity completely unto itself. Also, they were like the first university to have their own CS department a decade ago, so they've been at it the longest.
I just ordered a book by one of their professors, on the neuroscience of zombie brains. Seems hype, I'll let you know how it goes.
NLP and Machine Learning are what I want to focus on too, I'm mostly interested in trying to get the "social" aspect of AI human-like enough to approximate humanity. Even if it's a weak AI, "If you can't tell the difference, does it matter?"
Also, hell man, it's probably not too late if you're really about that life. There's plenty of online courses that you can take that would supplement your existing knowledge enough to make a go of it. edX has a Micromasters in AI from Columbia coming up that you can jump on, we could totally be study buddies.
...since I'm black, does that make me Bern/Arnold and you Ford? I'm watching you man.
One other thing occurred to me since my original reply.
Charlotte Hale talks about an embargo on Westworld tech outside the park. The board WANTS the tech, but doesn't have it. Nobody but Ford has it.
A while ago, I read book by Peter Clines called The Fold. [One of the premises for that book is that ](#s "the people operating the Albuquerque Doorway don't actually know how it works and hide the fact by having a cast iron privacy clause drawn up saying they won't share the technology until they are ready"). And so now I'm wondering if the same is true for Ford. [Does his agreement with the board mean that ](#s "he too doesn't actually know how the hosts works. He can use the machines. Build new hosts. Reprogram them for new stories etc. But he can only use the building blocks Arnold left behind, not innovate further and doesn't want anyone else to know how little he really knows").
The original is on Amazon for rental. I don't think it's streaming anywhere for free right now.
