Why not open source the platform?

>>55370062
because you cant make money from open source projects

>>55370062
because hooli will steal the code for nucleus

>>55370062
because muh fancy algorithm

>>55370062
The question is why not let businesses like Dropbox rent your compression to save storage?

>>55370177
Because Dropbox is cloud storage and Pied Piper has compression and delivery based on a compression engine that works through a neural network over P2P

>>55370196
Then let HBO/Netflix/Apple rent the network/service.

You can barely make a profit selling Freemium services

>>55370214
>profit
lol, what do you think this is, an enterprise platform? It's a world-changing startup, anon

They can open a world-changing freemium service once they start making stable money.

They should've made the box.

>>55370227
Well if it's world changing why not open source it?

>>55370281
>muh box

If they went open source half the people watching the show wouldn't even get what that meant, and then also every other company would just do everything better than them because they have competent staff

In reality they could have just sold the box to anyone else and not made an exclusive contract, and then continue making the platform, but that would be too convenient

>>55370062
because unless you're a major corp you can't allow to get exploited

Because open source is a meme for idiot computer nerds who think "their brand of communism" would actually work. Closed source always produces superior products, because mouth breathing retards aren't allowed anywhere near it.

>>55370281
absolutely, but this kills the series, it's starting to become quite popular so you really can't give them anything that might make them financially stable, if they're not struggling people will likely lose interest.

>>55370062
Because it's a TV show and there's a lot more drama to happen if it's proprietary and they're battling with a giant corporation.

Also money.

What the fuck is that?
It looks like the dude is felatioing two dicks

>>55371144

Same, in fact before watching or reading a synopsis I though the show was about just that, The Office but that of a tech company. But people as a whole, they want suspense, drama, cliffhangers, just an office isn't enough for that.

>mouth breathing retards

>>55370989
Most programming languages that power the whole digital world are open source and closed-source shit like Objective-C and C# are garbage

>>55371168
it's "fellatiating," you dumbfuck

>>55370062
fuck off commie

>>55370281
hooli has the box now and they're gonna use it to hide Belson's HD CP stash so he can stream at 200mb/s

>>55371144
>pay

>>55370062
Why not just copy the flat design everyone else has to appeal to the masses of idiots?

I think they were making a point with that.

>>55371522

>Richard Stallman changed all that back in the mid-eighties, re-envisioning the sharing of source code as some sort of organic expression of radical Marxist ideology. It was his vision and lobbying which transformed the open source community into a leftist Jewish political campaign.
