if it's a well understood fact, then how is it a new treatment?

According to US government, women spend 16 minutes a day, on average, doing laundry, and men spend 4 minutes on average. That's over a 100 hours a year for women, so yes, there is probably a lot of demand for a technology that makes this faster.

I can see this in a commercial setting, but any family/household that wants to drop $600+ dollars on a folding appliance, may be better served with a $30+ / week maid, who also does the folding.

How does one justify $600+ on saving 16 min a day? How does one sell this to any consumer with a >$100,000 income to a household?

I'm guessing it generates the tree (2 levels deep) and then uses an evaluation function to choose the best branch.

Not too far off from a modern algorithm, except that it lacks even basic optimizations like alpha-beta pruning, etc. and an incredibly fine-tuned evaluation function and a huge library of opening and closing moves.

Nooooo!

I was going to start looking at places in Padmapper next month, for my upcoming move!

Is there any other similar service?

I'm surprised someone as skilled as you hasn't been able to find a job. Have you considered moving out of Mozambique to a greener pasture?

I am working on moving out but it's not easy considering i do not have enough money to live alone in a foreign country.By the way i am from Zimbabwe not Mozambique.

They "monetize" it by charging money for use of the service.

It's so crazy it just might work.

I predict several Techcrunch headlines on this newfound "payment" option disrupting ad-financed services across the globe.

Yes, now they charge governments a fee to read your data as now they have more of it.

This is a joke. I hope most people realize that.

Not the "free" version. Do you think Gmail makes money by charging for extra storage?

It's a video game, not a movie.

It's neither. It's a tech-demo. A tech-demo with a well written and well acted story, but still a tech-demo.

Yeah...I know. I'm just saying I found it deeply engaging and if they made a movie out of it I'd watch it.

Welcome to MIT...

As someone who already has a bachelors in CS, I'm still looking forward to fill in some gaps in my education with these. For example, I never took a Theory of Computation class.
