>What's the point of mentioning a fictional compression startup as a comment on the algorithm made by Google?
A joke, or a pop culture reference. Stating a shared experience that others may also gleam some enjoyment out of, or to create the illusion of a shared community/experience to help maintain the illusion that we are not just meaningless souls adrift in an indifferent, eternal void, who's incomprehensible size only re-enforces the meaninglessness of our existence.
But like I said. A joke.
- acqq 11y agoIt's a kind of spam for me, as I still, even after your explanation, don't see it more related as spam to eggs and bacon is. So please user csimy "could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?" (1) 1) a reference to Monty Python which in this context demonstrates the relativity of the "shared experience." Even if it gave the name to the electronic spam!
