Why can't the team negotiate a bunch of drone engineers to build the wage slave box while the core group continues their revolutionary platform? Or is that too simple for a TV solution.

I've lost track of how the board of pied piper works at this point. I know Monica is in one of the Raviga seats, but she's on the board by name. How can Laurie just replace her directly on the board? Richard, Erlich, and Monica make three votes to not replace Monica as a board member. Laurie could still exit Monica from Raviga but she's still legally have the seat right?

All irrelevant now but anyone understand this better than me?

So jealous, and I'm assuming that was a real case that TJ Miller actually bought, then probably drank and gave away to the rest of the people on set because he is awesome. This is my headcannon.

Did Big Head violate his NDA by going to the press? He's going to lose the 20mil isn't he?

The NDA was more about what he did, which was nothing.

Jared still has the best jokes and Laurie is still a comedy black hole. Holy poo poo she's bad.

I like Laurie 80% of the time. Even when her comedy falls short I still appreciate how authentic her actress's delivery is.

I love the show but I feel like it's just going in circles. How many times can the keep going back to the core team and the house?

If they want to expand their satire of SV they need to move on. Otherwise they'll keep retracing the same stories.

I'm really hoping that in order to get the 3M and stay solvent they need to build the box anyway. Except now they have no sales and marketing team to spread it around so they have to do it themselves and get to explore that side of SV culture, but with the core cast. Then Gilfoyle sends an email to some other sysop he knows who then orders 100 boxes for "insert name of big company" and all of a sudden they're on the map again. The boxes provide a relief from the money crunch and they can finally move out of the house to a compact homely office and move to tier 2 funding.

On the contrary, I'm pretty sure Erlich rage quitting will leave Big Head as the sole beneficiary of the multimillion dollar revenue stream that blog will soon have.

How old are you? I'm genuinely asking that. From what I've seen older people seem to only think of snapchat as a sext app, but younger people use it as a primary means of communication.

Pretty much everyone in the 18-30 age bracket that I know uses it publicly to essentially attach a face snap to a short text message. It adds some personality to the conversation. People can send coy/teasing snaps that aren't outright scandalous and not have to worry about people saving them. The other reason I think its popular is because its much more like having a real conversation, where you don't have a visual record of every word and facial expression, they're transient experiences and part of the charm. Now in private its still used for inappropriate pictures.

Ive gotten to the point where small talk conversations are exclusively snap, event planning is text, and any ongoing continuous conversations jump between the two while being mostly text.

I don't think all the Endframe people quit, just their top guys. I think they'll have enough people left that know middle-out well enough to out-compete existing data storage boxes, even if it doesn't run 200MB/sec.

I don't know why they picked that number. Yeah it sounds fast to most people but they go to extreme lengths to have good tech accuracy. Like if they were aiming for that originally (Since thats a great number for GbE connections) and had Gilfoyle admit he made it fast enough to handle 40GbE.

Didn't they have a scene where Gilfoyle turned off God Mode right before they went to production?

That was him turning off the local servers as they shifted everything to Amazon Web Service. I assume they also took out Godmode from the production because that's one of those things that people generally frown on from a privacy & security standpoint.

Actually Hooli gobbling up piper chat probably gives them the chance to renegotiate the 'licensing fee'. Just like Richard giving the license to them for free was informal. The user base is now folded into hooli chat but if they want the good compression they'll have to pay.

Yeah I think all they're doing is throwing it up just high enough so that it doesn't flip to the other color, and they made a stupid "game" and chant out of that. They made a game out of playing with a silly toy ball the wrong way.

The game looks like you need to throw it hard enough to make it flip and then flip back, since from the slowmo video it seems like even a little nudge will start the first transition.

Big Head accidentally becomes the Feynman of computer science lectures. Everybody wants to hear him talk, because he explains things "down to earth". Granted Big Head doesn't actually know what he's talking about, but his insights are 'profound' for those listening.

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.

One person steers, they generally have the seat in the "back" thats slightly elevated. Its kinda fun, and the best ones have minibars in the center with someone who knows the area steering while the drunk people just peddle. (The driver also has a clutch to disconnect everybody peddling so he can stop the bike)

You can't sand the corners off of comedy for the sake of sensitivity. A lot of comedy comes from awkward cultural bits like racism; and equally comedy allows us to discuss issues like racism in the real world that they're parodying. As soon as racism is dead in reality then we can start taking issue with its perpetuation in comedy.
