WELL THEN HERE'S ANOTHER ISSUE!!

You need to store multiple copies of every file, effectively removing the compression benefit. This is to avoid the sentence "Welp, Cingulate uninstalled the app last night, and he had 7 bytes of my data on his phone, so I can never open this Word document again."

with a weisman score that high they can probably afford to duplicate across multiple phones.

And you don't have a 1:1 mapping of files to phones, you probably have shards across many phones, each chunk with some overlap.

Well Tor still exists even if the feds try to infiltrate it all the time. Still, as I understand it still depends on normal internet infrastructure so it would be trivial to block should it come to this. Maybe if they developed it on top of a true p2p wifi phone network...

The distributed nature would of course mean a certain level of redundancy would be necessary, but who knows if it would be enough to offset their magical weisman score.

But anyway, please try to find out how many phones you'd need to jerk off to store the library of congress.

The feds have infiltrated Tor. A significant portion of Tor exit nodes are run by the US government.

After this morning's conversation I spent probably 10 minutes thinking about it while I went about my day. By the end of the 10 minutes I had convinced myself this season was garbage and had to kinda walk myself back and remember that the jokes are second to none. But for the tech this season, he might as well be selling an ionic bracelet or something.

There used to be a service where you could share files with the rest of the network in exchange for devoting a chunk of your hard drive to an encrypted portion of the network's files, with no way of knowing what that chunk contained. Guess what kind of files that service was full of.

If they had a realistic idea that could disrupt the Internet as we know it, they wouldn't be producing a TV show.

With the literally magic algorithm, the amount of data you're sending/receiving would shrink down to such a level that you'd hardly be using more battery power than is required to maintain cell tower connections, right? That could work.

What was the compression ratio anyways?

You might format different languages, well, differently. Perl looks vastly different than C#, and if you've decided you need to use both, you might change formatting as easily as you change languages.

It's more likely that they ident one way when they do their personal projects because that's what they like, and another when they are at work and they have to follow their team's coding standards.

Or even within the same company you might work with two different codebases that have different coding standards. I used to have to do that, and it's a bitch to have to change the IDE tab settings every other day.

That was an amazing episode. I'm hoping that there's serious repercussions for Richard's actions beyond Jared, because gently caress Richard failing upward yet again, but holy poo poo watching Jared break was amazing after 4 years of him worshiping Richard.

Richard's been a dick but they finally brought him past the line and into full villain status. I have to give it to Judge. I never would have expected that. I just hope they do something useful with it.

I can't believe they did another "Richard fucks everything up again" and then turned it around just because Security guy hates Jack Barker. I'm glad it wasn't another "Richard trips and throws the plan on the floor" type event, but I'm getting sick of Richard doing something stupid and then that directly fucks everyone else. I'm guessing they are saving the real "Richard fucks everything" for the next episode. Hooli collects the hooli phones of the people whose phones got destroyed. The forensics team finds out the phones that exploded had a modified version of the Hooli app installed. They look into the app and see it has Space Saver bundled into it. Oh no, now Pied Piper is being investigated. They are all totally hosed and then there is a cliffhanger. Episode 1 of next season has Gavin Belson get sick of Erlich, so he comes back to the US and saves the day somehow.

All I know is that while it seems like when he's not playing Richard that Middleditch is a pretty okay and chill guy, his playing Richard makes me viscerally dislike him whenever I see him in any other forms of media.

And not in a "wow, he's really doing a good job as an actor making me dislike him" way.

I also think we missed out on Gilfoyle dropping the boom, too. Jared *trying* to take a sociopathic Aspie to task for his idiocy was one thing, but I've a feeling Gilfoyle got cut off just as he was about to disembowel Richard.

I love how Jared focused on both the pettiness of playing a prank that resulted in them getting busted, and in the laziness of said prank. "'Poop'-Fare?" he asks with incredulous disgust dripping from his clearly disappointed face. He has just seen the emperor's new clothes.
