How could they not explain the platform on the website before hand? Why not a "How It Works" page on the site and app?
> Say that it makes your files smaller so that there barley any megabytes on your files compared before compression
> Files are store everywhere across platforms that you can only access
> More files you process and more files other users process makes getting the files faster on your device
Now they are in shit because of Richard's engineering egotism
OP you my dude and all but they literally explain why like 8 times in this episode.
It's because everyone that developed it just gets this shit. Like, they don't put instructions on shoelaces because they figure you already know to tie your shoes. Well, the engineers didn't put instructions in pied Piper because they figure you already know how it works.
I feel like shit after watching this ep.I really want them to succeed
>>71054857
me too. this episode was horribly depressing and the ending just sets it all up for complete disaster.
I'm still suspicious of cloud storage, so it works for me as being a realistic situation.
>>71054887
Yeah.Richard is fucking autistic but I like him and I like other guys too and seeing that ending rly hit me hard.
I hope that they make it somehow
Drag and drop, wtf Pied Piper>!>!>!!>1?!
Just wait until Bernice becomes a Pied Piper advocate and saves the company. You just fucking KNOW it's going to happen.

Then you're watching the wrong show.

>>71055129
N-nooo!!
Ending was such a fucking nut punch.
Got genuinely psyched for the team when the numbers picked up, figured it was gonna poke fun of casual's for actually liking the talking Pipe, but that Jared reveal just brought me down to my knee's.
He's doing what he thinks is best for Richard and the company but damn, still hurt.

Why are you guys worried about this? You don't seriously think they're going to end the series with Pied Piper failing right? You can't be that fucking stupid. In the finale Pied Piper will come out on top, and the series will end on a high note.
Is season 4 confirmed?
>>71055430
Not the end of the series
>>71055441
Before the first ep of this season even aired.
>>71055562
And when in new season starting?
>>71055903
same time all the other sunday stuff it airs with starts up again next year.
>>71056004
>next year
O shit :(
Unless it's number go down and they air it on a different night.
But either way, The show is one of those series that has the fortune of being renewed before the new seasons even hit the air, so at least it's guaranteed another 10 episodes of laughs, and sucker punchs.
>Pipey, the Pied Piper piper
>"and it's only six clicks away"
No wonder it sucks. Dumb it down to baby level and hide 90% in the advanced options tab, make it 1 click ready with autochecking the best possible settings for the regular user. I mean the interface looks solid, just tweak it a bit.

This is what I was thinking. Isn't that what every application does? Hide all the useful shit and make a one-click button for all the retards? Though it seems most people have an issue with the lack of memory usage too
The VC company is pretty shit, they should have people on top of this sort of thing. PP does the building, VC does the bringing to market stuff that engineers don't know about.

I don't see why they don't just put a tutorial vid on the site
>>71055228
not if the box is a shit product, which is likely gonna be the case. Even pied piper's box was supposed to be genius
Just add a download button you stupid fucks.

>It's an Urlich does nothing so prepare for misery episode
Okay, this right here is driving me fucking insane. It's literally the simpleist fix. Everything you see here, JUST PUT A BUTTON ON THE WEBSITE THAT SAYS "ADVANCES OPTIONS" AND MAKE A FUCKING USER FRIENDLY STANDARD DEFAULT SETTINGS POINT AND CLICK COMPRESSION TOOL.
IT WOULD TAKE A FEW HOURS AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE
>>71060013
well considering it what Jack wanted to make millions off of even if its shit its still worth it. And it was developed by Pied Piper. They might have intellectual property over it OR they can roll out their own box that they already have that uses their platform doing two things. 1) Crush Hoolis product. 2) Heavily increase the number of users on platform.
>>71060631
Literally this, have a big button that says "compress" with standard settings, then one that says "advanced options" for the geeks who know what they're doing.
But I guess the issue with Richard is that the neural network thing won't optimize and improve itself it everyone keeps using a default preset?
>>71061498
Richard is just a pretentious dick who thinks dumbing things down will compromise his vision.
CONSIDER THE BLOBFISH

I wonder what Gavin is going to do to the board members.
>>71054887
Not necessarily; turking users isn't only done by failed or failing apps.
I was sad watching this, hope for a nice ending next week
What's the box ?
Just some external hard drive that isn't connected to anything ?
And why didn't they hire somebody to do all the promotion ? Doesn't Richard realize that he's too autistic for that ? I mean he did the whole electron analogy on live tv even though it clearly didn't work with the focus group.
>>71063278
it will be like every season, everything turns out great again for pied piper and in the last 30 seconds some cliffhanger bullshit happens
>>71060631
>ADVANCES OPTIONS
Pajeet, please
>>71063515
I don't know, maybe it ends really bad this season and everything is fine first episode next season
>DUDE PEOPLE ARE STUPID LMAO
Bullshit. If anyone created miraculous program that allows you to store infinite data IRL nobody except few paranoids would give a fuck how it works. This show is really running out of "how do we ruin Richard's day" ideas
Pied Piper was originally a revolutionary compression algorithm. Simple, right?
Now they had to make it complicated as fuck just to have the company hit another roadblock. Piss poor writing. What is Pied Piper even supposed to be now? Some weird peer-to-peer storage solution. What does that have to do with compression?
Just let them be successful already.
reminder that Jared has now committed fraud, thus opening up him going to prison in later seasons
Sweet, I didn't know this show was back on the air and now I have 9 whole episodes to watch.
I love it when this happens.
>>71065254
Remember when they had a super successful 4K livestream using their compression? What ever happened to that? Making it a glorified dropbox is so boring to the consumer, and they could be making so much more bank with streaming and Dinesh's Skype
>>71054694
Link to the live thread?
I lost it when they started playing GSYBE
>>71065520
The problem is that a compression algorithm is something that would be integrated as a feature of the OS. The user doesn't need to interact with it directly because why would they? It's something that makes your files take up less space on your device.
But there's no drama in that, so they had to turn it into an end-user oriented "platform" which makes little sense.
>that CGI elephant
Actually groaned at how bad it looked.
I'M THE PIED PIIIIPER, FOLLOW MEEEEE

do you think Richard is going to sell out Jared in the finale? The preview made it seem like he did some cold shit.

>Well, his name is Pipey the Pied Piper piper
>>71065705
It's obvious by now that the show is all about coming up with weird hurdles for the protagonists to jump over. They pretty much stopped making sense a long time ago. It's still an enjoyable show if you can look past that. What would happen IRL is that every major tech company would be paying to use their algorithm for a long time now, normies would have no clue other than having to learn to say "pied piper file" or whatever instead of "zip" and there would be no "app" in the making (except maybe for livestreaming or such) and the crew would be making billions.
It's like traditional cloud storage but faster. Your files are compressed, encrypted, and distributed across all Pied Piper users so that you can quickly access them anytime.
Was that so hard? I mean the interface is still a clusterfuck, but at least users would get the point.
I can't find it in the archives lads
>>71063379
they didn't hire promotion people because they had 600,00 dollars left. He went to the firm that did his Tables advirtisement, and with the money he had left they made him Pipey.
The black guy and Action Jack violated NDAs right? Please tell me Jared had them both sign NDAs.
This is a truly well written show. Mike Judge outdid himself this time.

What really hurt me is that Richard had totally given up. It's just been a brutal onslaught of crisis after crisis and this was the one that broke the camel's back.
What really killed me was Jared being the unyielding optimist of the show. He had to walk the left hand path to save PP. Fuck, Jared. ;_;

I love how he oscillates from being a conniving sociopath to a total sperglord. Literally REEEEEEEEE the character
>>71069792
"no"
>richard explaining pied piper
>>71054694
It's retarded. The issue isn't that "people don't understand how it works", it's that the UI is fucking terrible and created for tech-individuals.
How the show missed this is completely beyond me. Your normalfag retard won't stop using a program just because "he/she doesn't understand how it works".
>>71069923
Idk. Richard said on Conan that the horse fucking scene was also CGI.
>>71069792
can`t wait to see how he will take revenge on gentelmen and lady of Hooli board
>>71070009
Really? Didn't he just mean that he and Jack were standing in front of a green screen? The horses couldn't have been CGI, could they have?
>>71069997
>"now, if you'll just imagine jerking off two dudes at the same time..."
>>71070093
The guy you are talking to is retarded.
The horse sex scene was greenscreen, not CG.
>>71055430
I'm not so sure, I can see Richard taking some moderate deal where he makes enough money to pay the guys or maybe he goes into academia or something. Maybe he walks away, maybe he decides that a Silicon Valley tech company is not the only way in the world he can be happy or some shit.
Tho it's more likely that they'll run the series into the ground and end with a montage of Richard throwing money around.
>>71070093
>>71070171
Yeah, green screen. Richard and Jack were CGI onto the scene with the horses fucking.
>>71070114
I think they ended up with jerking 4 dudes with 2 hands simultaneously. Progress, bitch

Thank you
Jared is such a god damn bro, I really don't want him to get fired when what he did inevitably gets out :(
>>71066862
Yeah, but as the show has repeatedly shown us, Richard doesn't know how to run a fucking company. He's an engineer surrounded by engineers, Barker was a better businessman, and would have made everybody rich. If Richard wanted to "change the world", he could have written an RFC on his algorithm and gone into research, but he wants to be rich.
>>71070370
that's the Hooli/Endframe guy who made fun of him in the first episode, who's always been a recurring character.
>>71070001
Yeah, I put shit in a zip file if I need to, I don't know how compression works. I don't need to know how AI works to upload a file.
After the show I'm honestly not sure if it's a UI or usability thing or they are trying to do this weird "we are so ahead of our time that our magical skynet app boggles the mind so much people hate it". It should be the former, but it seems like the latter, and that doesn't really make much sense

>Richard doesn't know how to run a fucking company. He's an engineer surrounded by engineers
True
> he could have written an RFC on his algorithm and gone into research, but he wants to be rich
Well, we do live in an age where IT people realised they can make a shitton of money out of normies instead of open sourcing and getting cucked so I can't really blame him.
>>71070481
isn't it a cloud computing software that uses the entire internet as storage using some sort magical compression Richard invented? thats how i understand it
Try explaining cloud computing to people in the 90s. It would fail hard
This show is getting really depressing. What the fuck is Mike Judge doing? This is no comedy.
>>71070481
People wouldn't have a clue about the neural network component if it wasn't for Richard. And if the showmakers made it a major concern it would be retarded because half of the commercial shit normies use nowadays uses neural networks. The whole "problem" of the episode could be solved with a UX patch or a built-in tutorial. But everything going smoothly for the protagonists wouldn't exactly be fun to watch now, would it?
I loved how during their presentations they had a slide called FEARS and there's a picture of T2 on it.
>>71071012
Yeah this is one of those times when they really go out of their way to make everything 'appear to go wrong' for Pied Piper just for the sake of continuing the formula where things go right a bit, but go wrong more, but then go just right enough to continue.
>>71070959
isn't he trying to depict Silicon Valley?
>>71066862
This desu
>>71070800
Yeah, but if he wants to get rich on an algorithm he should just build the fucking box
>>71055430
>You don't seriously think they're going to end the series with Pied Piper failing right?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all. It's HBO, not NBC, they won't complain about having a sad or ambivalent ending.
>>71070879
>OK, so, instead of keeping your files on your hard-drive, you keep them on our servers instead. You can download them from anywhere and we keep backups so you never lose anything.
Cloud computing is not complicated or new, it just got a new marketing term.
>>71071192
NBC had a show last year that ended withthe MC being caught in a horrifying dust cloud and left to die by his family
>>71071163
Valid point. My guess is he's aspiring to be a tech celebrity like Zucc, Musk and the likes. People like the Google founders got mad rich just off their algorithms but they aren't big celebrities outside of tech world. Hell, even as I'm typing about them I can't remember their names (Flynn? Flynt?) but they're still super rich. If you think about Richard as a visionaire rather than a pragmatist it makes some sense, but still - realistically they would have tons of offers from big corps and they could just accept one of them and use the money to do their "changing the world" bullshit.

I liked the Jared/Gilfoyle dynamic this episode, it's kinda reached a point where Dinesh and Gilfoyle only exist to interact with each other while Richard/Erlich/Jared drive the real plot.
>>71071537
The founders of Google would probably have built the fucking box if somebody paid them to do it. Once you're rich as shit it's easy as fuck to start your "visionary" company.
The Uptick
With Pied Piper's future in question, Erlich's publicity success leaves Richard in a moral quandary, just as Dinesh's video-chat app gathers speed. While Laurie prepares to jump ship, Gavin's comeback at Hooli is threatened by his displays of grandeur.
finally Laurie will loose seats at board

they added onto Pied Piper's capabilities throughout the show. Peer to Peer + cloud storage is a great idea.
>>71065520
their algorithm is still used for video streaming, that's presumably what the file browser lets people do. They just switched focus from a pure video streaming site to a file storage one, which makes more sense if your platform can compress any file.
Guys, what are some good compression programs in real life that I can use?

This. You just don't trust that your data is "there" and that it wont be lost or looked at.
Hooli is obviously going to get mega successful with the box, then fuck themselves over in some way when Gavin ties it to unethical business practices that betrays the trust of his customers. Maybe he ties it to his spy platform in order to mine data, only for it to be accidentally released online?
>>71054694
It's kind of the central joke of the show. Richard created this company without ever asking whether he wanted to be in charge of company or if anyone actually wanted the product they were selling. It's a gold rush.
Pied Piper will probably pull through somehow and then Richard will be CEO of a major corporation. And he'll hate it.
