First episode was great, some of the jokes are more subtle, some made me laugh out loud. They took the stereotypes and turned them into compelling characters that appeal not only to those in some specific technical fields but to a broader audience. That takes insights.
Btw the sampling theorem puts a limit on lossless compression (only certain type of band limited signals can be recovered with no quality loss) so it makes sense that our guy could do it for music, but our investors went and assumed it would work on other types of signals ("endless applications", "navigation data for self driving cars", "medical imagery" lol) and they wanted to throw millions of dollars into this guy's product before they even looked at his algorithm or had it evaluated by experts. That's bold :)
May our protagonist bypass the Nyquist rate on all types of data in the same way Terry Tao and Emmanuel Candes did with Compressed Sensing (mind you these are the guys who did not drop out of college :)) Gregory's facial expression when the word "college" is mentioned still makes me chuckle)
