    (Just got back from vacation and finally watched the final last night)

    I'm not sure there's enough episodes in a season to deal with too much of the minutiae. When you only have 10 episodes, having an entire one of Gilfoyle in a coffee shop might be a bit much and force too much into the other episodes. That said, we know very little of the characters and how they got there. It would be nice to know more of their backstory...especially Jared. He became the best character in the show, IMO.

    I like how it went out and can't wait to see what they come up with next year.

    For those that were discussing VEEP, great ending there, too. Really interested to see where that goes now that she's out completely.

    We know his biological father is in a militia in the Ozarks.

    Agreed, he's the funniest character to me as well. Dinesh is second, but I enjoyed his character in Franklin & Bash more.

    I think this is the worst take I've ever seen on this board. Veep is the funniest show on TV.

    what Richard was describing is a mesh network

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking

    just as Uber/AirBnB allows for sharing of unused driving/living resources, a mesh network would allow for sharing of unused data storage, bandwidth, and processing power

    the problem has always been incentivizing nodes to participate in the network, to find a way to pay someone to use the processing power on their phone or their internet bandwidth when they aren't using it

    it will be interesting to see what they come up with (the answer might be bitcoin)

    Having your cell modem on all the time would kill the battery.

    Not the best opening, but I am hopeful for a strong season.

    It was definitely more procedural than funny...but I trust that it will be just as good as usual.
