I thought Jared was an MBA. Also he keeps popping up with answers in such a way that I want an episode where he's quietly putting out all their fires in the background.

Perhaps literally, given what happened last time there was an actual fire.

"Jin-Yiang! Stop burning trash!"

In and of itself, it's not a bad idea either - set up some mass production deals for decent hardware costs, make it the only enterprise-scale backup option using PP's algorithm and quietly sell it. But the marketing pitch is the exact opposite of how to go about monetizing that.

I think the obvious reason for revealing a fake skunkworks plan is probably the best. Make it something completely different and utterly impotent as an option, have Richard beg for their jobs on his knees, and then make it look like they learned their lesson by staying far far away from the leaked 'plan'. Men like Barker will believe they can crush the spirit out of their employees, afterall, especially if faced with devastating financial losses.

That or it really is Richard being a total fuckup again.

I always viewed Hooli as an unholy Google/Apple combo.

I can only imagine that's basically exactly how it went down with the Uber driver he assaulted too. Just a sudden yell of that and then a slap. It makes the scene both more and less funny.

I don't think you're alone in that, and the fact that he wasn't harmed in the slightest is kind of weird.

Look, Erlich is just the last Targaryen. That's all.
