TheBalor posted:He needs that or a big win soon. I'm betting on him buying EndFrame to recover, but that doesn't seem dramatic enough. I could see him scrapping the whole thing and offering to be the money guy (personally) behind PP just to ride that wave of success and try to make the tech community forget about the hilarious disaster that was Nucleus. Big Head is doing a pretty good job of making him regret every single decision involved to this point.

sbaldrick posted:Porn people are surprisingly professional. My great-aunt hand huge printing contract for it for years but you would have never figured it out if you didn't look at the presses. Aside from providing filthy content on demand, the business side of porn has to be run super well, because there are so many laws and regulations they are subject to and they have to play nice with the CC companies because porn websites can only accept money so long as VISA/MC/AMEX allow them to. Darkpriest ran a few A/T's about working in the porn business and he said the HR/business side is straight up suits and ties, everything filed in the right place, records kept forever and easy to find, etc. As an "undesirable" business that faces constant scrutiny from local municipalities they can get shut down if someone shows up for an inspection and finds even the slightest irregularity. The myth of seedy sets, coked up performers, and shady production crews is a thing of the distant past. DP mentioned one actress who showed up high as poo poo to perform so he sent her home. Next day, same problem so he fired her and she was subsequently blackballed from the mid/top tier production companies.

That exchange between Gavin and Richard with the lawyers was hilarious.

Richard is a terrible CEO but a brilliant tech guy. He absolutely is not the person you want running the company and making business decisions.

I don't really care too much about season 3 so long as it includes that disbarred lawyer. Season 3 has some insane potential, because both Gavin and Richard are now pariahs from companies they created and Richard seems like the kind of person willing to look past Gavin's past attempts to take PP and Gavin is a tech savvy business expert who would bankroll Richard's new ideas for the sole purposing of loving over everyone at Hooli he can and rebuild his reputation. pentyne fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Jun 15, 2015 |

For all the talk of unrealistic or realistic the biggest thing for me was the illegal language in the Hooli employment contract. I imagine something that has happened in real life though, its just hard to imagine a gently caress-up of that magnitude at the world's biggest tech company.

Every other business like it is probably now scrambling to get their talking points in order and start lobbying legislatures to pass laws protecting them.
