Is this software viable? I mean a software that access a p2p network in any place of the world allowing to view your files almost instantly without saving them in your device with top speed? In any place of the world? Is that possible?
>>55291090
How is p2p any faster then just using a cloud service?
How is Pied Piper more effective then Dropbox or Google Drive?
If I upload a picture of my dick, why would it be on other people's devices?

the next season will have an episode about the "god mode" and the ethical implications
bet you $100

it doesn't really matter if you don't scale it
on a serious note it's viable because of "magical" algorithm
it's allways going to be vaguely described
show is about new tech that is clearly superior to everything else but it's never just about product etc.
just look at g+ vs fb (g+ went to shit in year after relese or whatever)
also wtf chineeese moot where is my spelllchecks

>using a discrete cosine transform for lossless compression
Get a load of this fag, Lempel-Ziv-Welch is better than this
>>55291090
It is definitely ~possible~ to make a better compression algorithm that allows you to be better than say dropbox. But the rest of what they say about stuff literally being available on any of your devices INSTANTLY without taking up ANY space makes no sense. Especially since it supposedly uses P2P which means even if you never 'uploaded' anything you would still be storing bits of other peoples data which would take up space.
It's a tv show. If they really invented a revolutionary new algorithm they'd actually market it, not use it as a plot device for an HBO comedy series. Consider it a gift that Mike Judge is making it a plausible product instead of handwaving it with a magic macguffin.

sure, the pied piper will get rid of the rats, but then you gotta pay up or it takes your children
>>55291988
they're reffering to cloud-based storage. Obviously the software is just poorly coded
>>55293245
But does it play super Mario?
>>55292215
This.
The show is as close to real as it gets without actually inventing something. Good enough that they actually did invent a completely new metric back in S1
>>55291129
Pied Piper is so effective because of the compression algorithm. Files can be stored on the cloud and accessed instantly because they are so small.
No-one but you, the NSA and the government could access your dick pix.
>>55291090
>>55291988
honestly the concept they say they use in the show has some statements that make sense but only with lots of missing variables
>p2p
>lossless compressed
>stored "encrypted" no where and anywhere
>integrated maschine optimisation that gets better with more files
it sounds to me like the files get encrypted then cut up in chunks and a hash map gets created that maps to a chunk compression library
every user gets a part of that library and the file hashes get used to retrieve "files" and display them
if you map a file to a compression library and build the file from it by hash the "file" is just the size of hash and the real thing you want to store is the library part which gets quite big if you want smaller files
and there you need maschine optimisation to create patterns that map to the files and can be used to "decompress" the contents from
or just magic and d20

This guy fucks.
>>55291090
So, they have a supposedly very good compression algorithm, how come they are so retarded that they waste it on a fucking cloud storage platform?
They could use it to create and patent a new video codec, partner up with some bigger companies to create a new disk media, that can store 3 hours of 4K 60fps video in a single disk. license it to hollywood and become billionaires overnight.
Instead they get a shitty cloud app no one wants to use
How retarded can one be?

In the latest episode they pivoted and became a video chat company
>>55291090
what happens if i have no signal?
>>55291090
I don't know how, but apparently I'm the first to say that this is a literal botnet; they're using people's devices to serve content to their peers.
Also, if you haven't already seen them, you should check out some of the websites associated with the show:

>no one wants to use
It's not that nobody wants to use it, it's just that they didn't just hire a ux guy to fix a simple fucking problem with an obvious ux problem.
You can't solve every problem a show presents in a single episode. That wouldn't get them ten episodes a season.
>>55291090
Yes, and it makes world a better place.

>If I upload a picture of my dick, why would it be on other people's devices?
files are split into blocks and distributed across the network so no one has access to all the blocks but you
>>55295040
These sites are awesome
>>55297925
Also like how the pied piper site is already updated with stuff from the season finale

So petabytes of data are stored on people's devices yet if says 0 KB used.
What?
>>55291264
Currently rewatching the whole series. Can't believe they binned it
>>55291090
Well, it's closed source, spies on its users, buys fake users and is a pothead owns 50% of it...
I'm still surprised no one gave a shit about their "god mod"
>>55291264
Is it that good? I cringed on the 1st episode so I never continued.
