Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" (HBO Show)

lmao jared

lololl

even though it's a ludicrous show it's one of my favourites ever

Stoked.

I'm afraid to try and start watching this because it seems like it has a 50/50 chance of just completely pissing us off and reminding us that the world is a stupid and horrible place and not being funny at all. Too much of a risk. Better to wait and binge the whole thing later, I think.

not being funny at all

apparently a very unfunny guy i know from college is involved with this show now :(

:/

god, the moment in that gif. it was such a surprise the first time I saw it, I lost my shit.

it's so great

Season premiere was good. Russ listening to "Last Resort" by POD when he drives off was hilarious.

felt like it was kind of ehhh but that was certainly a high point

last resort is by papa roach you monster

:)

haha oh man I didn't notice that, assume that was a Paul Ryan-meme ref?

reminding us that the world is a stupid and horrible place

this is pretty much all that can make me laugh in contemporary comedy

From the opening HBO skit to the first scene, this felt fresh and unpredictable.

Gavin sending his assistant on 20 private plane flights just to justify fucking Jack over lol

it was a promising episode imo

the best part, imo, was never telling Jack about the flights at all

"Last Resort" by POD

I believe that was actually by *looks at list* Hoobastank

v strong deja vu about those last two posts

Ah, I've missed this show

To Every Thing There Is a Season

— by Jared Dunn

piedpiper_401_blog_02

Well, it has been a season of change here at Pied Piper. As Sylvia would often say when another couple passed over me for adoption, “When God closes a door, he opens a window.” I finally understand that Sylvia meant something more than a tip to escape through the opening in the attic. The door of my service to Pied Piper has ended, but the window of PiperChat has opened! Indeed, many PiperChat windows have opened, because our video chat platform has a remarkable hosting capability for multiple simultaneous users. Check it out!

Yes, readers, our pivot to video chat has become a full-blown sprint: we are gaining users by the day, our technology is superior to any other conference platform on the market, and we’ve named Dinesh Chugtai our new CEO. The next stop on this journey is funding. Our brush with fraud — Oh, Jared, did you not think that sin would stain? — has hindered us, to be sure, but we remain undeterred!

Amid the giddy thrill of this new chapter, we must take a moment to honor Richard Hendricks, who has parted ways with PiperChat. He may no longer be our CEO, but he will always be our Founder and our friend. Few captains are so brave as to shed their crew, guided only by the stars and a whiteboard. But you are on your own journey now, Richard, like Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love. You have left the painful past of the platform behind you and are bravely entering a new chapter of spiritual growth and technological adventure.

As for me, I’m off to make Dinesh a cup of tea and work on our burn-down chart!

Erlich pluralizing hard-on as "hards-on"

Jimmy O. Yang's timing/reading of this line is incredible

had to pause the stream after his opening "no"

pulling out the eviction notice was a coup de grace

so good

8 recipes for octopus

the guy who surveys users at hooli always cracks me up

Carl says that the new terms of service make him feel "nervous"

one question. since hooli acquired piperchat, do they now essentially own the compression algorithm?

they don't, cf episode 1

jared was amazing this episode

"well first of all, everyone reads the terms of service"

“we can talk about Sports teams and…their scores. Or pussy.”

oh god this was so good

"well first of all, everyone reads the terms of service"

http://www.piedpiper.com/farewell-piperchat/

"On a different note, I sometimes like to use this forum to muse on various topics in technology. Take, apropos of nothing, terms of service. We all love to read them, of course, delighting in the voices of our favorite authors. (Myself, I’m a fan of the quiet wit of the Spotify TOS.) But they’re more than pleasant bedtime reading; they’re essential to the legal protection of any startup. So take note, fellow entrepreneurs, and add those terms of service. Without them, you may be doomed to hear the endless click of the Agree button like a tortuous telltale heart, echoing against the uninsulated walls of a ranch house’s garage."

incredible episode, this season is shaping up so well

Hearing that Dr Octagon cut on the credits was quite emotional for me.

yeah it was quite the ending
