Silicon Valley

So, I don’t have HBO, but I did have the opportunity to watch the first season of this show. Season two premiered after GoT last night and it looks like they renewed it for a third season. Created by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill), it follows a group of young entrepreneurs and their attempt to start up a new tech business in Silicon Valley. Mostly comedy, it’s put together really well with an outstanding cast. If you haven’t seen it, definitely give it a try.

I’ve been wanting to check it out. now that i have access to HBO GO… just another thing to add to the list of shit i dont have time to watch.

I just started season 1 on HBO Go and I’m in love with it lol

So I was doing a little research into the meaning of a Weissman score, which is used throughout the show and is a algorithm that scores the compressIon loss of a file, and I found out that the score was actually a fictional algorithm made up by the shows creators/writers. Kinda cool how now its used in the real world.
