Aqualung posted:It was striking how bad the F1 investor presentation was. This is the kind of poo poo that every executive who is tangentially in charge of something but really knows nothing about it spews at these grand meetings. You have to keep it relatively simple so everyone can understand but you also have to present some sort of basic vision. There are people that are good at presenting the vision and there are others who are bad or know nothing about it that end up like this. I'm sure someone, somewhere is working on all those things, "brand engagement" and other garbage buzzword poo poo actually does add up financially for many things. I know I'd buy more F1 poo poo if there was more F1 poo poo around to buy. Since he's probably in charge of several other businesses that are more important (to him or Liberty really) he's not going to know all the specifics. Investors have already made up their minds I think; somethign like this isn't going to change it unless it's monumental.

Also these conferences and meetings literally exist so that in the evening happens and all the talks are done you can do real business, and also get wasted and gently caress each other.

1500quidporsche posted:It really isn't. Imagine washed out generic green jacket that makes you look 150lbs larger than you really are and feels like it's lined with carpet or industrial matting. The only reason I got it was cause the thermostat went on the Scirocco when it was -30C out and it made me want to die. oh lol, well the idea is neat.

1500quidporsche posted:Rossi probably could've won races in F1, everyone forgets he got his start in karting. I think a title would've been a bridge too far though. He did better lap times than current drivers when he tested the Ferrari those few times right? It would take years to be a title contender but I bet if he had just quit MotoGP right then and done that he could have gotten there. Not that he should have quit, mind. I'm glad he stayed in MotoGP.

are you kidding me I'm gay now because of this Aqualung posted:I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think your understanding of shareholder meetings and analyst presentations is quite accurate. These meetings generally have a pretty important place in the investment decision making process since it's pretty rare that analysts and shareholders are given a view into how the execs think about the business. There are many factors that go into the investment decision of course, but I would not be so quick to discount this one. No need to apologize, I'm glad for the correction. I obviously didn't watch and I hold a lot of disdain for these kinds of meetings because I have to attend them every now and then as part of going to industry conferences and they're always so full of poo poo. Shame that he was so bad.

Bernie sucked and brought us a lot of garbage races and tracks but I don't care if liberty has to go through some dumb tech and advertising bullshit if it means I get to watch F1 on whatever device I want and the racing is good. If some idiot television exec pays a gajillion dollars to put little camera knobs so that 6 dorks with helmet sized headsets can watch grosjean cook his brakes and slam in to a wall in VR then that's good. It (hopefully) means more money to invest in good things. Take advantage of overpaid nerds as much as possible imo.

Stroll went from a comedy act to a watchable driver I think. He's got plenty of time (and dads money) to actually become good. I kinda hope he does.

learnincurve posted:VR is going to be like the 3DS where after a while people realise that as awesome as it is it actually gives you massive headaches, and they end up having to bring out a second device or expensive app that allows you to watch it normally and can move the camera on a touch screen. Agreed. VR, much like AR, has plenty of industrial and scientific use cases. It could be good for consumers at some point but it has to get cheaper and less bulky.

He was poo poo the first few races, let's get real. I guess I should've said "great", not good.
