Hooli is a representative of the companies that exist to make the world a better place.AFewBricksShy posted:There's no way. Now they have a combined wealth of Twenty Million and Thirty Six thousand dollars. Yeah, Big Head received $20 million, bought a house for $X million, and still has $20 million. I really don't understand this sort of SV middle-out finance. Also, from the website: quote:A Middle-Out Compression Solution That's such a terrible tag line for a company. 'We won't solve your problems but might make some of them smaller'

Not a great episode and it seems like a reset. Season 3 and they still have no product, no sales, no sales staff, no offices, no revenue...no progress. And now a clueless, socially awkward CEO prone to emotional outbursts and making irrational decisions. But they do have a nice juicer in the kitchen.

Characters can have flaws but they should be consistent. RIGBY we see 2 or 3 examples of Richard being unable to speak a coherent sentence when he is stressed. Then he enters the conference room and launches into a well spoken 1000 word 'Here's what I'm not allowed to say to the reporter' monologue without a problem. Then he is made CEO and goes back to being awkward and unable to speak intelligibly - to a few employees he can only see on computer monitors. and then there's the matter of the PR rep who was going to coach Richard, and the reporter...both being booked into different conference rooms at the same time?! Huh. Wouldn't you schedule the PR rep for the morning and the interview for the afternoon, or at least book the PR for an hour or two prior to the reporter showing up. Kinda clunky writing.

I don't know if anyone here wants to read a critical review of this farcical show but The AV Club makes a few good points in their episode review, eg:quote:Clearly the writers want Richard and company to still be in the position of the underdog because that’s the heroic place for them to be, fighting against the forces of entropy and idiocy that distinguish the successful. Much of the episode is an aggressive move to get us back to that position, and while it does that job in a way that makes sense it also does so with such speed it raises questions why a chunk of what happened to date in the season happened. And by dipping deeper into the cringe comedy pool than ever before, it also raises questions as to whether or not stepping back is the right decision for a Richard who still has a lot to learn. quote:The episode ends with all the pieces put back to where they were before: Richard is once again CEO and Pied Piper is back to being run out of a living room. Sure there’s a fancy new chair for Richard to sit in and there’s a full team of engineers building their platform remotely, but all of it still feels like the same. Given that “the same” is still one of television’s best comedies that’s not a damning statement on make, but with how great season’ three’s been as Pied Piper moves into the big leagues “The Empty Chair” can’t help but come across as a disappointment.

ApathyGifted posted:Richard is unable to speak coherent sentences when he's stressed until he reaches a breaking point, then he's on point. See: negotiating Jack out of firing them and getting to work on the platform last episode. Anyway, I thought it was great when the sales team that had lacrosse in their website bios were playing office lacrosse. And that Jared doesn't know his own birthday so it might as well be today

Enderzero posted:It's not hard guys. The creators have said that as soon as Pied Piper wins the show will be boring because there's no conflict. They have to be perpetual underdogs or the magic is gone. This is how it has to be when you don't know how long the show will air - if they win too soon you'll have multiple seasons where they have nothing significant to do. The real problem is some sort you identify so strongly with the team that you want them to succeed so seeing these constant halting steps is going to drive you nuts. Just enjoy the comedy, the plot is absolutely secondary. Oh come on the show's producers are saving the PP success story for the big budget movie that will come after the tv series run has ended.

King Vidiot posted:He wasn't stressed in that meeting though. He thought he was with a PR woman and that nothing he'd say to her would go on the record, so he had no reason to be nervous in front of her. Then he starts his conversation with (who he thinks is) the PR woman, "I'm not going to be yelling at you but probably am going to yell". He starts spewing and twitchy and escalates simply from speaking. Soon it's, "I probably can't say how loving pissed off I am about Laurie Bream..." to a complete stranger. So if that's Richard not stressed or nervous, he should not be CEO of a tech company or for that matter a sidewalk lemonade stand.

Jealous Cow posted:Regardless of differences in opinion over code hygiene, you really think Richard's behavior toward Winnie was "justified"? Richard's like a more neurotic Seinfeld, who would weekly break up with a new or potential girlfriend over some almost imperceptible or trivial character flaw. She even seemed to be okay with his anal attitude right up until the time he walked out. Inkspot posted:Martin Starr is the MVP of this show. Let us all remember that he started here: Yes certainly a tug at Gen X nostalgia.  Jared's a player and check out the 2 losers in the background.

"We've also read the financials, Gavin. Between Nucleus and N-Frame you've burned through three quarters of a billion dollars". I thought this show was over-the-top satire but then this morning read, quote:Microsoft Corp. snapped up LinkedIn Corp. for $26.2 billion in the largest acquisition in its history, betting the professional social network can rev up the tech titan's software offerings despite recent struggles by both companies. $26.2 billion. With a b. Who knew hope was so expensive! Great episode.

Anyone know the type of glowy green keyboard Gilfoyle uses? kiimo posted:I never thought about it but if you didn't want Microsoft to have your information but you did want Linked In to have it I guess you're just screwed and don't have any other choice? Microsoft now has a huge database of people. Maybe that's what they want. There's definitely some angle they aren't morons. Is this Silicon Valley or Person of Interest

But if she valued Erlich's shares so low doesn't that pull all the shares down? She's now set a price for PP far below what it was. That is, if Erlich's 10% was valued at $713,000, then Laurie Bream of Raviga Capital has determined that 100% of the company's shares is only worth $7,130,000. So while Bachman is taking all the hits for selling off his shares, to me it seems that Laurie has screwed over everyone, because now it is known that she has the ultimate power to allow trading and to set the price, which she'll only do for her own advantage.

grahf987 posted:I think its a clever turn around for T.J. Miller's character. He was just kind of stagnate in this season and this brings him back into the group. As befuddled as he is about actually working, PR is his thing, not that he is necessarily good at it. Now if they can find a way to bring Bighead in the group then I'm for it as well. He is the Homer Simpson of this show, it's impossible to hate him. I hate Bighead. He's an idiot whose major achievement at tech corporation Hooli was a big potato gun...that he broke.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jroQCyWwEgE He bought a big loving boat just because he thought it was cool. He overspent on a house with money he didn't earn. While Erlich did waste money on a party, Bighead wasted money to move an in-ground pool a few feet, and then move it back to where it had been in the first place. He went along with Erlich's insane business ideas (and company name) because he's a weak-willed chump. If Erlich had not come along he still would have been broke within a year. I can't even "BIGBY" because there's nothing "G" about him. What I don't understand is why viewers like him at all. Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Jun 16, 2016 |

I really liked that episode. CubanMissile posted:The problem goes way deeper than the UI. The problem is that users fundamentally don't understand what the product it, how it's supposed to work, and if it actually does what it says it does. At least on the show. In real life it's not really that different than cloud computing. People understand it, or don't but either think they do or don't care because it just works for them. Once most people see that all their files are accessible from all their devices they wouldn't really care how it works. I guess the characters are too engineer-y to just be like "Access your files from anywhere safely, and without taking up space on your devices!" "Access your files without taking up space on your devices" isn't the problem. This is.  Let's Go!

kdrudy posted:Yes, when Pipey indicated they were "six clicks away" from uploading their file that still sounds like a UI problem. How would someone use that UX on a smartphone? Yikes. AgentF posted:He asks if the numbers are legit and then his response to Jared is a little subdued. I think Gilfoyle understands that it's bullshit and then keeps it to himself while he thinks about it. Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Last week's obsession was on the Always Blue ball. But what is this?  Not, 'what is it?", but like, why is it? Who came up with it. What is the point or rationale. Do they ride it until they crash into something. Anyone here have personal experience riding the teamcycle or whatever it is called. What is it called. Don't tell me to google it, don't want to use it for this. Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 01:23 on May 9, 2017 |
