I'm going to pretend Bighead is based on Marissa Mayer.

BIG HEADLINE posted:And everyone who hasn't signed yet realizes that they can negotiate for more, and Hooli's 'savings' turns into a loss. Well the $20 million is hush money because Hooli promoted him as this visionary genius when he's just a below average worker. I don't think they're offering hush money to anyone else they're firing.

Seems like the most obvious business model for a groundbreaking compression algorithm is patenting the heck out of it and licensing it ala the various patent pools for h.264, h.265, etc..

Talorat posted:Apparently the client side implementation can be run in javascript or something. Then anyone on the client side can see their compression algorithm, no? I realize I'm thinking way too hard about a fictional TV sitcom.

JUICY HAMBUGAR posted:I think it'd be funny if Jian Yang joins Bighead's incubator and immediately launches an amazing startup so Bighead can fail up some more. Maybe not Jian Yang, but it's pretty certain that one of the startups in Bighead's incubator is going to hit it big.

the great deceiver posted:Ahaha I don't know real-life SV well enough so I figured he was based on like Sean Parker or someone but knowing he's based on Mark Cuban just made Russ even better for me. Your mom is is Napa for a few hours with her friend Philip. It's probably a composite based on Cuban, Parker, Sacca, etc. type of characters

I was expecting Big Head to receive a call from Gavin throwing ridiculous amounts of money at him to lead the EndFrame team when Gavin realized how far behind they were compared to Pied Piper.

At the very least Erlich could've refinanced his house to pay his debts.

Phenotype posted:Yes, and I've been saying this since season 1 -- Comcast/Time Warner et al would pay out the nose to basically double or triple their bandwidth. They should also be pairing up with the team behind something like VLC media player or Windows Media Player to create the next-gen replacement for the mp4/mkv video formats, a PP-powered mp5 that's half as big as current video files and decompresses instantly when played. Or with Microsoft themselves to make PP compression/decompression the new standard in modern OSs, and completely replace rar/zip usage. Agreed. I think I posted a while back about how their best play was probably applying their compression technology to video and licensing it.

There's definitely more than some of Sean Parker as portrayed in The Social Network in Russ Hanneman.
