A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
Cheesy and cliché in a good way, quite an enjoyable and heartwarming flick. +1 for Netflix’s first gay holiday rom-com!
老套的圣诞爱情故事，Nick我真的好想占有他，太完美了
虽然很俗套但是，Hell it‘s Christmas and I love it.
Luke Macfarlane！没人可以拒绝他！全家都瞎，无脑温馨肥皂剧，不能算电影🎬最后说一句，ZZ正确这个事在美国太可怕了。本片又名：《白人家族为改变“家庭成分”疯狂怂恿儿子放弃大帅比嫁给黑人小哥的故事》，主要台词：“祖祖辈辈都是白人，我们白怕了呀！”
太圆满了 开心！
没什么深度，我只想在影视里体验这般现实中没有的结局
流水账，一点都不吸引人，属于圣诞节打发时间都不会看的电影。
男主挺可爱的。但这个故事？同居这么多年的朋友居然能成为情侣，太搞了吧。老套的剧情了，没什么亮点。不过家庭喜剧，也还可以了。
开头就看到了结局，也不妨碍我磕糖，看得上头。圣诞节就是合家欢浪漫的节日才对。
我不带头看得很快乐啊 但是为什么所有圣诞电影都在New Hampshire？
很有聖誕氣息 也很真實的同性戀故事，我們確實是很容易因為害怕失去朋友而選擇隱藏自己的感受。謝謝這種合家歡電影，很開心
没什么深度，我只想在影视里体验这般现实中没有的结局
为了男神卢克和迈克尔多打一星吧！故事情节流畅，双男主形式还可以，又是一波单身狗粮！
horrible...... 就算是同性恋圣诞合家欢电影也不能这么老梗和刻板印象吧
Very light hearted and wholesome, a proper cheesey gay Christmas movie not about coming out. And they have Jennifer Coolidge
外甥女执意让舅舅和他多年好友在一起的状态，像极了我磕cp时坚信我的cp必须在一起他们必须是真爱的样子。不过他俩真不合适呢，彼得有点不会胖的那么夸张的asa既视感，尼克的扮演者有点面包机的低配感，俩人站在一起我就一个感觉，这俩人得有一个为爱做1啊！妈妈其实眼光真不错呢，明明她看的健身教练詹姆斯真不错呢，都怪编剧只爱吃朋友变恋人的戏码，人健身教练那演员多好看啊，一看就是难得一见的温柔1呢，我好恨啊！原来美蒂逢年过节，也会被家人追问是否单身，好可怕啊，这个世界就这么容不下成年还单身的人吗？！想起国内有男性出柜后，被家里人介绍男对象呢！孤独终老又怎么了，况且人男主还会养花养草，那花花草草，我们唐僧都说了，不能伤害，也都是生命呢！
圣诞新年假期和男友点开的，一开始没看完，发现我自己不知道在哪里看过一大部分。只能说剧情发展无脑推进，假期里看个热闹就行。黑人小哥身材不错，看得我口水直流。
虽说笑点都在预告里，剧情都在简介里，但是3个可人儿和苏菲偶尔出来搞笑还是让影片不至于那么无聊，黑人小哥还意外的挺顺眼。感慨下俺们同志都是surviver，各各身怀绝技努力健身修图提升颜值，恋爱关系也懂得内部消化能麻烦好朋友的事儿绝不blind date，还不希望家人操心，偶尔还要帮修水管修灯哄孩子搭棚教台词被侄女氪CP。请珍爱每一个身边的GAY吧，我们上辈子素天使惹。PS：以后请多出这种齁甜的HE同影，活到现在已经不想看苦大仇深断背山了
人设和故事那么浪漫的James&Peter be，突然和jm搞上，not convincing
老套温暖的圣诞爱情故事，但是老套就是会让人开心呀
