Firefly has memorable characters, great acting/actors, and good chemistry and good writing. And it's especially memorable because the show got fucked over so people can imagine a lot more greatness than was delivered.
I don't know much about tennis, but the perfect opponent is probably some form of slightly concave wall that will always bounce the ball into the court no matter the angle you send the ball at it
Yes. There are many extinct animals that had sizes comparable with sperm whales, including some dinosaurs, but none of them had sizes comparable with blue whales.
The reason for this is simple, few animals have developed a method of feeding like that of the baleen whales, by filtrating huge amounts of sea water, which can provide enough food for such a huge body.
Other animals that have developed similar feeding methods, like 4 groups of species of sharks or rays, including the whale shark, have also become much bigger than their relatives.
likely intended more as a lint than a security feature, it's not unusual to want to exclude commonly misused features from your code and any libraries you use.
Knowing the mess that is the php standard library, I imagine many applications would want to just straight up ban the really bad parts.
Placating some users - mainly shared web hosting providers - who still think that disabling functions like system() and exec() is an effective security measure.
The practical example is being able to use the same names and utility functions and such on all of the different monads. That's kind of it.
Other than that it's just nice for communication in the right groups, it's shorthand for a whole bunch of properties that you then don't have to explain.
It also only really works super well in languages where the type system is expressive enough to allow that (or just permissive enough not to stop you I guess), so that mostly comes up in fun "functional" languages where they spent a bunch of time on the type system.
You'll probably understand a bit better if you take some time and learn/use Haskell a bit (if you don't already understand, it kind of sounds like you do tbh). It's a fun and educational language in a bunch of ways IMO. It depends on the kind of person/programmer you are if you'll really care though.
Facts _are_ weapons for them though. If they have the video they can pick out the 12 seconds that looks like what they want, or if it's all bad just hide it.
You're talking about partial facts and misrepresentations at this point. You're also saying it yourself, facts aren't their primary concern, sure they can be convenient, anything can be made convenient if you're allowed to cherry pick. But the bigger problem is they also have no problems lying and making shit up. Not what I would call caring about facts.
I'm specifically saying that them having access to thousands of random cameras is to their benefit, and not because it will lead to accurate law enforcement.
Yes, they can take advantage of privacy violations, being able to misrepresent facts, and pointing to an infallible technology stack even though it is not.
Sometimes they don't even need real evidence. In 10 years if they get their way, if the AI says you're guilty, you're guilty. Not to mention all the extrajudicial punishments like getting banned from having a bank account or a job, which is like a death sentence.
Municipal cameras do exist for speeding, tolls, and maybe other road research. But Flock is the definition of let's get everyone in dragnet surveillance so we can pick on whoever we want, at least try.
> Antifa is commonly known as an ironically fascist organization that uses violence and intimidation to silence speakers — it's like how the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" is not really democratic.
That's not "commonly known", that's the spin you'll get from the right-wing in the US who just happen to have heavy fascist tendencies.
