MrBuddyLee posted:Alternatively, he could invest it all in PP and end up making more than the rest of the guys combined if it succeeds. There's no way they're going to take PP public just yet, and none of the board would allow him to buy his way in as it'd dilute their eventual profits. 20 million to everyone but Monica, Bachmann, and Richard is pocket change.

Somehow you just know the former Nucleus guys are going to knock it out of the park, because they were smart enough to probably snap a photo of that dry erase board and then slick it. Hopefully their phones have geotagging off.  They also have the motivation of *revenge* behind them. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 04:14 on May 2, 2016 |

Chris Knight posted:Theory: Big Head buys controlling interest in Pied Piper, Richard gets back in as CEO, just as the ex-Hooli team reveals their new product. Except the Nucleus guys seemed to not be interested in working together at all - they just wanted the 'secret sauce.' The more likely eventuality is that Pied Piper's ~super speshul~ IP suddenly becomes diluted by a ton of other similar options that, while not as good, will probably offer themselves at a lower price point.

Avasculous posted:Somewhere around the fourth or fifth time he orders Richard to his office and points to the triangles to settle a protest, it becomes clear just how empty they are and that his true genius is just manipulation bordering on psychopathy. We're finally getting to see what happened to Werner Brandes from 'Sneakers.' Mary McDonnell's character broke his heart and shattered his faith in the purity of coding, so he stopped designing voice recognition chips for stuffed animals, changed his name, and became a ruthless corporate shill, determined to make coders and fellow engineers suffer with his every breath for not designing a better computer dating system.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:My favorite part about them getting invested in the box was how they talked themselves into working harder. Like, yeah we could just do the bare minimum, but wouldn't it be cool if we did this instead? And I'm *really* glad that it didn't turn out to be something that'd turn ~Action Jack~ back into Mr. Friendly Guy with a 'my work here is done' trope. Also, speaking of tropes, how has no one mentioned or geeked out over the almost-verbatim 'bare minimum' line yet? As for Dang - I'm surprised Richard just didn't say 'make it green' and have that be the linchpin as to why Jack was able to make the sale back. "Well, the other guy's box was black...ours is green.

Zero One posted:This isn't a real thing. If he signed it, he signed it. No matter what his mark looked like. To say nothing of the fact that he was signing the documents in Bachman's 'incubator' within clear line of sight of easily 4-5 witnesses (and Jared, whom I think is incapable of lying) who could attest to seeing him sign the documents, while speaking clearly about the fact that he was signing documents *about* his partnership with Bachman. There's no 'airplane, meet treadmill' here. It's obviously going to blow up in Bachman's face *somehow*, while Bighead will come out ahead, but yeah, let's not have a loving week's worth of armchair contract lawyers making this the new spergpoint.

Another episode where it was just painful to watch every moment Richard was on screen. At least the preview for next week shows him *looking* like he's being competent. Also - there's no way that buying that blog is somehow going to return Bighead to solvency...after the 'partnership' between him and Erlich is dissolved.

It was kind of a 'lazy' episode, all things considered. As for Jared, he's probably managed to weaponize the pity gently caress. He just doesn't see himself as a 'player' because in his mind, he's just being a 'pleasurer' who never gets called again. At least we know now why he hasn't killed everyone in their sleep yet.

My guess is Gavin will buy Code/Rag through a shell company, make them print a retraction of the truth, and Bighead will make something like 50 million off the deal. And when Erlich tries to cozy back up to Bighead he'll get cockblocked by the financial manager, who will know he's found a Golden Goose.

I think the D.A. was more put off by the fact that she probably is fielding hundreds of valid cases at the moment and Erlich's entitlement complex on how she should ~drop everything~ and focus all of her efforts on the business manager pissed her off.

So she shot down the $5M deal with Russ and paid Erlich the minimum that he could accept for all of his shares. And Richard now knows that Laurie's fundamentally no different than 'Action Jack.' I also love how you kept thinking Gavin and Jack were going to end up taking the same private jet to ~J-Hole~, but Judge had to work in that jab at the 0.001%.

It's almost definitely a play to 'corner the job application process market.' If they can get businesses' HR departments to pay for Enterprise-level access to LinkedIn's database, then those same businesses *require* new applicants to register for LinkedIn to apply for or submit their preexisting application/CV through LinkedIn because it saves maybe five minutes per application review and a ton of space in file cabinets, they'll do it. Want a job doing something other than stocking shelves? Pay Microsoft $20 for a month of LinkedIn membership or $179/year.
