Well, Richard, according to all of your test results,
51d64884-3a39-458a-90c3-46e8de71d44b.gif
you are what we in the medical field call healthy.
f117b101-3ade-44a4-a736-c3c57d5f4487.gif
In fact, you've got kind of a glow about you.
ef819e1f-516d-4ac1-a817-f1a53cf7fe5d.gif
- Oh, really? - Absolutely.
40bddbd0-eeff-45dd-b696-bf7d79f5c96b.gif
You know, if it were medically possible, I might even think that you were pregnant.
22520866-a4d0-4df9-9fb9-4295b923ea15.gif
Of course, I thought my girlfriend was pregnant,
6fa7b109-9750-468c-bdce-4f4c91915b5a.gif
and I was sure wrong about that. Whoops!
69e24168-0670-4bd1-831b-09d2a4784468.gif
Hey, give me that ring back!
621c373d-6894-483f-b9b8-14953b467d11.gif
Oh, what a mess.
e2a01120-39ce-41b6-a84c-72c5de69b1fe.gif
What a mess that was.
44a5385e-9889-4b0b-baff-7244cc774afe.gif
So, been any big changes for you, diet or exercise?
108a3e0b-c815-409c-b2e7-9c9868c72f45.gif
Well, I actually got fired as CEO of my company.
33525d60-7510-42a0-889d-5a9e6c256946.gif
I'm working now as the CTO under the new CEO, Jack Barker.
f1ea8835-9b65-486a-94aa-49924f0fa181.gif
Wait a minute. You got a boss at your own company?
5cdeadf1-5c73-4b39-a217-9ec37fb6663e.gif
Yeah, I know that sounds bad, but honestly, he handles all the budgeting,
c0861408-418c-4dad-a897-ec9f95bef467.gif
all the VC funding.
3374727c-c78c-49bf-9a94-1e2c0868f4c9.gif
He just negotiated a great new lease on our new offices.
2c6a6db6-74b1-40f9-91cb-913834c39a16.gif
I don't know. I think this could be great for me.
646593cd-d930-4bf1-862a-04c126218c89.gif
Boy, I don't think I could have another doctor coming in here, being my boss.
101f2868-2db9-47d9-9353-a8477e8b0858.gif
No. It'd be like, "Hey, boss, is it okay if I listen to his heart?
ddb3a7ee-b2e0-43dd-a0cb-88024634d2b6.gif
"Can I do that? Oh, no? Sorry. No, I won't. Okay.
debe7df1-32b1-4a93-9c5f-ab7c9cca1713.gif
"Whatever you say."
da30e0a5-b73d-4dac-9121-2c22a36f2f2e.gif
- Funny. - It is funny. Yeah.
54864c94-d575-45dc-b808-c16eaf71b5bc.gif
But listen, if it works for you, that's great.
3c82c32f-9d91-4676-9b08-92d9b76f6d32.gif
Just one more thing. I've gotta check your testicles.
40f0c9ac-0ae8-4b08-9b31-f2aa77994dc7.gif
Oh, my God. Okay. What, for like a hernia or something?
aa8404ff-61ae-4267-8e1a-3ff3e80a5789.gif
No. I just wanna make sure they're still there.
c2ebbac4-d503-43d8-be2b-519b0493a78b.gif
Oh, wow. This is going to be our office? All of this?
c57129f9-8144-403c-af56-271ef6606924.gif
Yeah, Jack said we have the whole floor.
d84fe74c-1a71-4f4b-a06b-d42b7ea6da67.gif
Wow, look at that kitchen. This is great.
b991048d-b635-4188-a0e7-e0119480527e.gif
Richard, is that our new logo?
15ec5d5c-80c9-410f-967a-afd72b6e5343.gif
I like it. It's clean and elegant, but not without some danger.
769a6bfe-ee94-4c72-b555-012847f63280.gif
Gentlemen, welcome.
d4afbf1d-458e-4a1a-addf-828f37821912.gif
I moved away from the flute-playing guy.
6c00e1a2-9873-4bec-b466-2d680c81aa04.gif
I don't know if you guys realized it, but that was a little phallic.
e57ec88a-0757-4e63-853b-56c980da32fa.gif
I didn't want to waste your time with it, so I just pulled the trigger.
7adcf1d2-0b84-4b55-b83c-972400f2470c.gif
Mari Sheibley did this.
ff6ebdd0-e17d-41ad-b643-e0b7232d0210.gif
Oh. Mari Sheibley. That must've set you back a bit.
9254222b-7e96-4a97-b0a4-6edc72a6be1f.gif
No. She's a friend.
ca430f15-98b7-42bc-8823-1d7662714acc.gif
Yeah. I know her, as well.
14df53e7-d1cb-4f47-ab6c-7f47b3ae3ada.gif
Casually.
f359b645-45f4-460b-aa6a-99a7b03b2e28.gif
So, why don't I show you guys your new home?
ce0f1b32-2db5-47b7-a77c-b47dd5f0367b.gif
Hopefully, it lives up to your standards.
3221ba7b-7481-45da-ab7b-624bd5d5a546.gif
Yeah, compared to the shit shack we're used to,
5739056d-ec7a-4c79-9cbb-44d82eaf8d07.gif
anything's an improvement.
ff42fab5-b063-4228-9132-9a3c8c513ca5.gif
Ah, an insult born of respect.
cb4eef4d-5c41-4e73-8009-6d3cbe7ca495.gif
I'll worry when we start complimenting each other.
7f88d488-06b2-4dcf-a03a-bca32fe1d3f3.gif
Fucking dick.
04f9dd0e-e2e4-4e35-9148-12c47077f035.gif
I assume you saw Hiroki putting in the water feature.
4b445e6a-66be-4791-8c5b-ffa48262ecff.gif
Good feng shui. Gotta have that.
8d911b92-df64-46d9-a97e-1057b911fa4d.gif
This is the engineering area.
4f5f3b87-e491-40d4-8265-ea850fb2a94d.gif
We're gonna work here?
cb9fa42b-81d3-4be4-bbb3-076542e722bf.gif
That is a separate, professionally-catered micro-kitchen back there.
e5c70b4d-55f7-45aa-8ac0-e8091d1e4fb5.gif
I want you hungry here, never here.
6c5293a9-6b56-4956-8273-2152d0c9a68a.gif
This is all great, but can we really afford all this?
ab77f043-151c-45f4-8d3c-26a7aeb731bb.gif
Hey, step into my office, Richard.
4678d901-2926-49bd-b5ec-f76b21b31a1d.gif
- Here. - Okay.
42966f71-7dbb-45f3-b23b-bcaa4230eef8.gif
I wanna show you something.
198cf747-865b-49bb-a188-84d94bfa7b76.gif
This is way better than Erlich's shithole.
e121413f-dbaf-49df-a5bd-81b1347e10d8.gif
"The Conjoined Triangles of Success"?
ae5da1c6-a438-423e-b6f2-2da93cc73c5b.gif
I invented that, and now it's taught at business schools.
1b31dfb6-3905-420f-a564-bcb52873765d.gif
You see what's on the bottom here? The foundation of the whole thing.
4fce7ded-6977-4c23-a67b-dbf5bf3f632e.gif
- Growth? - Growth.
3e4edbdb-e67f-4a15-bb8f-5beeb01cebef.gif
The more brilliant people we can get working here,
6d4f04b1-48e1-4c7b-99df-5fdb3ed212ca.gif
then the faster we can get whatever is in your head out into the world.
4fdfd69e-db12-44ae-bb45-795d9cf17af6.gif
Let me tell you a story.
faae44b4-bb06-4170-b47c-00ca8148b226.gif
In 1999,
a65e671a-c062-4524-8d30-0db7b81678f4.gif
Google was a little startup, just like we are.
d5bfc332-f012-4ba5-ad5b-3cec8ee1e3fd.gif
And when they started bringing in chefs and masseuses,
d7694c6f-1d9e-4155-9526-ad7c74ed8f17.gif
we thought, "They're nuts!"
1ba3288a-9785-4db9-aee6-027d6e3b4a0a.gif
But they were attracting the best possible people,
b03115ea-d0f5-428f-9dbe-a6b3a463bfab.gif
and they were able to create the best product, and now they're worth over $400 billion.
76762b27-32f1-4285-985c-09fb8599fc04.gif
And do you know the name of that company?
b57bcd07-1a60-434f-bb17-f210578a104c.gif
Uh, Google, right? You said it at the beginning of the story.
02867263-f9a9-43b8-a010-9128a380561f.gif
You're right. I did that wrong.
928eddcb-8730-46bf-b329-da9c396ac529.gif
And the whole point is that all of this is a sound investment
33f7082d-d262-4123-9dfe-6ca2c3e914a3.gif
as long as we are able to get the best people and make the best possible product.
aa0b6219-3c51-4305-b1bc-bde0370c9d9c.gif
All right. Winner gets the big monitor. Okay?
2e81af5c-66ed-45c6-b224-2015cb685e8f.gif
I understand how this works.
43b53e4d-0ccb-48a9-ab54-79f764035d3d.gif
Ready? Ready?
df20b330-bd4a-4dff-b9d4-4a134e959c70.gif
- Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. - Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
3cd4ab76-7eba-4f31-8b4a-d83ab1697048.gif
Suck it.
9c3e14ef-c6d0-4f8b-8dd3-22b8168fa3a4.gif
I should've known you'd throw rock.
68d7da3c-0eea-425a-ba9d-dd07ddea9fde.gif
That's all you know in Pakistan. It's in your blood.
fa015b85-2e1f-463f-a599-d6d6f2dc2bca.gif
Don't you guys call it "Rock, Rock, Rock"?
5fe489a5-4657-4dbc-a2b1-699e66388305.gif
That's funny.
ba382a80-b726-4172-a69b-7b93a0ec7e9d.gif
You should type up all your racist jokes on your tiny monitor.
f6a52578-cd31-48ce-a70e-d7b126c33ad9.gif
Is that monitor not big enough? You need a bigger monitor?
0c780553-d557-4b82-8e03-2b515bcf8dea.gif
You just put it on the list over there, and our purchasing guy will hook you up.
70cb85f5-6807-440a-9c11-12d60ff9332f.gif
- Seriously? - Absolutely.
afb0bd0f-57e8-423a-a667-05665d64d4bb.gif
Jared, how about you? You need any new gear for the office?
94621e68-6c06-482b-a7ce-f261438b0935.gif
No, I'm BYOC.
b4f5d3f1-21e4-4d49-b886-f3613e7beaef.gif
Let me know if you need anything.
773ae1ea-007d-4d89-a8ba-4112356a895f.gif
Richard, do you think it'd be okay if, uh, I took this box?
2255fae0-91cd-495f-a4cb-fbe4512fc36b.gif
I'm moving out of Noah's guest house after work.
4f0e86fe-bf89-4165-b3f5-21dba1096c98.gif
And you want to sleep in that box?
c0f2061e-82ff-496c-81c0-f26f64dc7af1.gif
No. I haven't slept in a box in years. Stop.
104c7837-7066-481a-b154-30d104bf1af7.gif
Now that, um, Pied Piper's funded,
51f90964-1c1c-4cbc-b062-edc0fdfa63bf.gif
I have enough money to move back into my condo.
7078643a-d9d9-44f4-ac38-31e0bf5197fc.gif
Oh, congratulations.
d82c4a76-9fbc-407a-b3e3-a30cbabe05e9.gif
I thought you sold it.
5e0e0ece-607f-4408-9100-99bb432cf0fc.gif
No, I've been AirBNB'ing it out to cover the mortgage.
1de905d5-2836-40e4-bad4-121af67200c1.gif
But it'll be good to get home.
c6d124be-42dd-443c-bf82-4dca1c8d8d28.gif
I've been missing my tub a lot,
52514566-b01a-4f3b-a3b3-7aba7128e47e.gif
and, uh, Noah's been using a lot of hate speech with me lately,
b80090b6-1718-41be-9fa7-1b5f7d517676.gif
so, moving will be a good thing.
53c1db65-8d5b-41fc-8721-df710013f392.gif
All right, guys, think I'm gonna take off
b10a3427-0cfd-4d6a-a782-e086b55525e4.gif
unless you need me to stick around, help the transition.
41b57b13-6679-44db-b9cd-f9e99de886c9.gif
-L... - By doing what?
03b30506-ed71-4436-9b24-534dc534e6f9.gif
I could introduce you to some of the people that work here.
de28a15c-e552-4142-b152-96ba1b27b075.gif
I made some major inroads with Hiroki.
470f92ad-757b-44b6-b9fe-5725d7360a48.gif
- No. - Uh, why would we want that?
7f26419c-4596-4df1-937c-9fed5aeca62e.gif
Fair... Yeah, fair point.
15bfd4cb-183f-4172-8d5a-c94a66560868.gif
So, welcome to your new home.
d682e328-3821-4080-97ef-b104f33485ff.gif
Enjoy it, guys. I gave you this.
4eb3f808-bf55-4d3f-80d1-8cf55a70dc9e.gif
on.
53a5c9c7-c713-4cc2-9db3-5fb3f0227749.gif
Sorry. Sorry.
5a4d736d-a655-45f9-90d1-62ee8535ddef.gif
How was everyone's morning?
14305de1-7e4a-474a-8228-d39c9b608840.gif
Let me tell you about mine.
354f64fa-2ada-48d7-ba04-0f460fc59bb3.gif
I started my day, as I always do, by typing my own name into Hooli-Search.
3fffa8ad-3849-4887-8720-9a3264585bcd.gif
I enjoy the ritual, which is designed to center me.
eed52ff0-9f4e-4327-9661-e9197a5876f7.gif
But lately, it's been doing the opposite.
a99030b7-4b6a-46bb-9a62-4bd813f4d9fa.gif
Whose work station is this?
970a38a6-0439-4846-a7bf-a6b34d63917a.gif
Observe.
f968b519-ff1a-4aea-8145-41187c1e8556.gif
These are all remnants of a time before I wrote Nucleus down.
f853efb0-ed10-4252-bb2b-f6e62bd0e358.gif
Why are we allowing our own technology to dredge up our painful past?
88542db4-f696-4574-9796-c0debcf56d0b.gif
Why is it that when I type my own name into my own company search engine,
47a13afa-05ed-4fa1-8e5d-0b5534b2a9d5.gif
the fucking Internet rains shit-bolts down on me?
38fcb565-b397-4a5f-b977-6e7def1a5005.gif
I want this to stop!
245c5c3f-a36f-4ded-87a6-2154f4ed611b.gif
These articles are part of the public record.
9490426e-8092-4b3e-8ecd-77e4be626848.gif
Your point?
542e189c-6492-43ea-a05c-d24811bfb91d.gif
Are you suggesting that we alter
557d3ffa-135c-4141-8a61-e68d5e2026c1.gif
the fundamental neutrality of the Hooli-Search algorithm?
f47aecae-d5a3-43a9-87f3-f6f20550d78d.gif
That's a clear violation of the public trust.
e9c00908-fc15-49bd-ab75-e18cb1ffdb7f.gif
Yelp is threatening to sue Google for this very thing.
3a71b535-de29-470a-82f8-7be28d0df8ac.gif
I can't, in good conscience, order Hooli-Search engineers to do that.
7828b545-06be-47aa-8759-3e6aed9e7922.gif
I never suggested anything of the sort.
65aba995-23c1-435f-95c3-0bff57711146.gif
No Hooli-Search engineer
fb66825d-0c4d-4e1a-9467-1814b343777b.gif
will ever be asked to alter the neutrality of the algorithm.
803035c7-dca3-4990-a1a8-7d3312dec8bd.gif
And so, Gavin doesn't want to see
c0a94b91-b884-40ee-9bec-5062a8ae7856.gif
any more negative mentions of Nucleus on Hooli-Search.
f4649dcc-065b-4e5e-b590-b1cb7dcfafe7.gif
So, we're gonna alter the search algorithm?
ac5f5653-f592-44b3-856b-af6b8db7a02f.gif
Of course not. That would be unethical.
ec26cc3e-73ef-4614-9f6b-d4631ed552ce.gif
What are we supposed to do?
95f4c405-5ba5-4a7f-899f-090e245260d4.gif
Promote other websites to outrank the bad Nucleus news?
68ce2aa8-712e-449c-8992-d25398359b48.gif
Do you have any idea how big a fucking job that is?
d1b0e6a9-228a-4fb2-82e0-83dea2293425.gif
Don't you swear at me.
1fea3ca0-37a8-476f-a0de-20518dcb23c4.gif
We don't work here anymore.
d2d2809f-3b2e-478b-bcd3-3ace794780e5.gif
For 10 more days you do!
71995c9e-87de-46a2-b30c-548d91feaddc.gif
Unless you'd all like to quit and walk away from your entire severance packages!
2f56dc32-d47e-4114-85d8-ebeebc151802.gif
Amazing.
4072564a-3095-4931-a88a-b5ee8b34f051.gif
Whoa, whoa! Oh.
61a488b5-7b6b-4798-8f8f-a7b050ee1738.gif
Jared. Whoa. What's up?
94bf0210-0699-4793-b805-44290e530f02.gif
Hi. Um...
0ab2fcc3-4e62-49c2-8188-f8779bf73708.gif
I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. You were supposed to be out on Tuesday.
32f4b450-668b-4ae6-af22-955f9bcef9a9.gif
Oh, I was, but plans have changed.
ca565697-635a-443c-92d7-978158b1b46b.gif
See, I can't really afford to move or pay rent, so I'm gonna have to stay a little while.
ae4d2dc4-d410-4586-bb11-1c14b7fa9aa0.gif
Okay, look, um...
d1093a6a-5961-4191-96b3-632872eca3bd.gif
I appreciate your situation, but you're breaking the terms of our contract.
590f36b4-931b-481f-afae-48953723de30.gif
Listen, I don't want to be a dick, it's just, I can't afford to live around here
9d96824f-9077-436a-8af2-8933eb9d5136.gif
'cause the rent is so high, because of the tech companies, right?
382a4be0-7838-4c76-8473-d0454bfa483e.gif
And you bought this place with the money you made
c62e5b14-7705-449c-a1da-cae602640eaf.gif
working at the tech companies, so, it kind of all evens out, right?
9402c890-bb73-46f2-8e07-6db83834ad17.gif
That... That makes no sense.
33b90e8f-ed00-4c72-aa13-9c5da63442f9.gif
I know. Right?
ff1ccfa7-d753-44a6-a291-a9745f6881df.gif
Okay, look, I can give you a few days, uh, two weeks tops,
415abb8b-b067-4d76-8a3a-c5e49095d8de.gif
but if you're not out by then, I'm gonna have to take legal action.
88ebf6c8-f770-4741-9b41-350a68c906cb.gif
This bums me out, man.
b2232c6e-3d81-43a1-a4ff-81386b460725.gif
I thought you were, like, the one cool tech guy.
6f9f343b-635b-43d6-a0dc-f1f89ca9870d.gif
Me?
480ac976-3a26-4d01-9d94-472b7fb6c888.gif
Are you sure?
16412ea6-18fc-4a35-83e8-e54848d12fa7.gif
Not anymore.
150e7c04-620d-4647-b994-dc95fdd0b998.gif
Well...
256b7118-12f9-4180-b308-f4c799cb6841.gif
Well, the occupant of a residence in California has almost unlimited rights.
a5427b26-7e3e-482e-9b46-34cf30114b07.gif
I have to get his permission to enter my property.
e0a52815-8913-4c64-ae6a-4cd10a538268.gif
I can't turn off the power or the gas, and I have to hire a lawyer
3bb9e580-135a-4ed6-87cb-6866723bdf1c.gif
to start a legal eviction.
5960ed83-1f7b-445c-8727-707f1234b6e8.gif
That won't be cheap.
f22fd64e-75da-49c6-accb-ab96188111a7.gif
Jeez, man. I'm sorry. That sucks.
e8883811-1a24-49c5-aa8f-d3f57a9d337d.gif
So, where did you sleep last night?
c987db17-bdcd-4a3d-b5c8-1aa819febd50.gif
I did not. How was your sleep?
b324a784-6a75-44d4-8538-d3f2b0a26e8b.gif
Uh... It was good, yeah.
e5c6638a-d80c-4cd5-988c-64370719f57c.gif
I mean, I slept like a stone.
fe38c1bb-ece1-446d-b542-ccd1783b1439.gif
It's odd not having to do everything ourselves, isn't it?
669ef9f0-5693-45c6-af05-6ab834845c96.gif
Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm kind of loving it.
f8519519-d36f-4ede-944f-65779d3154a2.gif
Hey, you ready to go to work?
e195961c-d4ae-45fa-9236-d4ea382989e1.gif
Chef Amy asked us what we wanted for breakfast,
f37447f3-1339-433a-b4fe-2450aca1e63c.gif
and I said, "Surprise us."
0a93bbf2-d2af-4a03-9838-1445f30de9d1.gif
Could be anything. Let's go!
d8ee0b1d-1425-4342-9de9-d327dc94cc0a.gif
When was the last time you saw those two
4fb68967-06a1-485e-8df3-132371c0b632.gif
-go anywhere before noon? -Indeed.
41a2827b-af77-48d6-8f14-e379446103df.gif
Well, let's go get some gluten-free waffles.
bfcbdeca-7840-4a17-830c-ea1afd30555d.gif
Sorry about the surprise.
962c3de2-dd2d-4500-a124-53864d6e6598.gif
- I don't care. - I asked Chef Amy to tell me.
a10022bc-788e-48f0-94e6-9383e253613c.gif
I have too many dietary restrictions to leave breakfast to chance.
1694d75b-2222-436d-86b1-36cd069f30be.gif
Makes sense.
d9aefb47-9a65-4256-a4d8-e4283ff5fd5d.gif
Ah, two of my incubees off to eat the world.
dbb243d5-15e0-47b8-ae6b-cc925a62c16d.gif
Be well, work hard, and know one another.
633d9fc2-7946-44fa-8385-7b96d1dc3d88.gif
Okay.
b107d08e-8fab-4d8a-ab0c-45ae17e88d6c.gif
I recently helped them install a new CEO at Pied Piper.
67d31ca9-e3f8-4d16-87d1-21658f8b9f98.gif
I needed to take a more hands-off approach, focus on the future...
69ca0f12-60f3-4b4a-b0fc-68a18a31c397.gif
-Incubees, like yourself, with great ideas, like cataloging malware.
4c4b4247-a1bc-414f-a06c-5bc08afd782a.gif
Sexy.
22059a4e-a86e-458c-a727-f24f50d883da.gif
Uh, would you care for another coconut water?
3fed3a9b-0963-42b1-84e3-fb409608b2dc.gif
They are the most expensive unpasteurized variety, if that's any concern.
4775c7b3-e6cb-44ab-a183-3e637a54de6c.gif
Actually, my concern is the room.
84719681-40cc-46fa-bbc5-8400484c880b.gif
It's kind of a dump.
064a34fd-d20f-4fcc-8d7d-62e1bb591545.gif
Oh, sure, now.
41e6d44c-acc1-4e8f-aa38-f35f401c631b.gif
But, uh, with a new coat of paint,
1ab5b084-e216-4526-95f0-5396bae915b2.gif
you'll hardly recognize the place when you move in next month.
1d7399ea-16b3-4bac-9021-93c24caf3afb.gif
Actually, uh, shit's pivoted.
2630ca87-dc96-4988-ae61-6a556cb68143.gif
I need a place next week.
2cb5b527-1c40-4da8-925f-3e2b96e389b1.gif
Next week? Shit has pivoted.
1a996f75-b8b7-45f2-9281-6c113095b64e.gif
Well, I'll talk to the current tenant.
44c90bd3-f0e2-4a4a-88ea-b1dda1abf66e.gif
Let him know that the time has come...
af889d33-557c-4e1d-be1f-65c7cd8e0f6f.gif
Mother fuck...
2cb5bfee-010f-481d-9a5c-2f4e879e101b.gif
Uh... Yeah, put him on a slow boat to China, so to speak.
93372a3f-7bda-41b6-ac31-405ee14836b5.gif
I'm sorry. lt just slipped out.
4aa2209a-e73e-41af-9744-be0355745382.gif
I'll ask Chef Amy to make you something else.
2b3be89e-c115-443c-9c4f-bacf8b5cb891.gif
No, no, no, I want waffles.
02d9d3c5-cc93-4aa4-bc5a-0da4aa96542c.gif
I just wanted them to be a surprise, Jared. I wanted surprise waffles.
fcd8e6b1-c45a-4c7e-aa60-47b3efbc314a.gif
Who are these people?
07499533-700b-4883-83a0-2b0a64764c6a.gif
Uh... I don't know. Did Jack hire engineers already?
f0be03e0-8e00-4e2a-b60b-93ca51f856fb.gif
These people are not in the engineering gene pool.
172d870b-2991-4bd9-83ce-ce165686c1f8.gif
That's right, fellas. These are our new sales people.
07707661-14e8-4a32-b42d-c70879dcbdf3.gif
They're the best in the business.
a3eb9b71-6301-4931-88de-d06939507566.gif
Sales? Uh, Jack?
5ee420f9-9be9-418c-9635-3e855a93b84f.gif
Jack?
cf8fb73a-7632-40ce-87a5-fe420d1b52c7.gif
Shouldn't we hire engineers to build the platform
0006783e-0d20-44a6-892a-e150cabee386.gif
before we get people to sell it?
69e9fd14-02c4-4297-8cb7-8fc300b9fa0b.gif
No. God, no!
c326b7d8-3217-48a2-ab65-bc261c64938a.gif
The system, Richard.
3e9fda6d-daf6-4dfc-9fb2-560b1e111028.gif
Sales and engineering are the two pillars of the Conjoined Triangles of Success.
4bf40f5f-ba64-4ae0-a8e6-4788bdce0f79.gif
- Yeah. - Engineering and sales must work together
7e5eb7c4-189f-4d92-a6fa-2d4eedfd9c9a.gif
to decide what to build.
ca895dc1-f927-4f79-a621-167c15cc0d4f.gif
Who knows better what the customers need
e627bb13-1b47-40aa-8bf0-eb79eed03049.gif
than the people who actually deal with the customers every single day?
77a8757f-069b-4e5b-88d3-e6761bf183a5.gif
We're all gonna meet at 1:00, Richard.
7c91148d-2ae5-4b12-b212-8cefc877eb6c.gif
You're gonna love these guys. They're the best.
766aca06-ffe3-4c7e-a407-79efde8fcd27.gif
So, while the Hooli lawsuit did hamper our ability to get funding,
2ec025ed-6b2a-42d1-9866-ab19edbd1c3b.gif
it did not slow down the engineering.
2411e2a2-cd3a-4ee4-85e4-a8addb3a4434.gif
Yes, question?
3464eafa-4a47-45b9-ace4-e96abe578652.gif
Yeah, Keith, Northeast Regional.
ce7f0b55-53a0-467d-8d4f-c8ea1012262c.gif
So, you don't foresee any technical debt issues
633c5673-f792-4b4a-9997-1dd505629a21.gif
slowing our ability to scale?
efc399a6-1089-4995-a522-9c8a7b3cddee.gif
Actually, no, uh, none whatsoever.
fd29f8e2-bd83-4db5-b895-99bd4262b10a.gif
We've identified all our underlying issues, and we have a plan in place for rapid growth.
9804097e-c333-41ea-8930-dd694d244796.gif
Uh, yes?
a7f7dee6-47d3-4061-b5ed-eb33baadb5af.gif
Uh, Don, Global Accounts and Systems Integration.
9326a341-a3ad-42f7-b3b0-1209830e74e7.gif
What kind of growth are you projecting here?
b8f5322f-16db-45a1-8857-99cdce408f7c.gif
Uh... Well, this may sound a little bit grandiose, but it's not unrealistic
ccac6f42-8399-4784-848e-35e1873f394d.gif
to think that we have the potential for worldwide penetration
be855b1e-c9f0-4f63-8fc5-6626c0e35fe2.gif
on the scale of, say, Google or Facebook.
caf80f84-ce30-47c8-9b82-540470cadcc4.gif
This is really great, Richard. Just keep going.
9e8269b9-d600-4259-9aa2-ab666a6203dd.gif
Sure. Yeah. Uh...
8822641a-66d4-45ec-8202-ce3327c5fb63.gif
Well, in regards to the launch,
529b3a8d-bb05-4508-9821-6ff76bc9f524.gif
we are hoping to go wide, um,
d5ce37cb-618c-4c7a-bf10-fe29ce4c6637.gif
get it into the hands of as many people as possible.
b9744d1c-02a8-425a-81e6-5edcfa4e5c56.gif
Jan, Director, Inside Sales. They call me "Jan the Man."
6bcb4f0b-d09c-4a8a-b8ab-5e1f356021cc.gif
Oh.
fa514f1c-3208-46a5-b284-9917099f409b.gif
When you say "people," you mean "companies," right?
a09af12c-95f3-4f36-8c0d-9aef2ab1a4d1.gif
- Yeah, we're business-facing. - Okay, just wanted to clarify.
dc896fc2-13f6-4ca0-8494-097d409c7046.gif
Actually, no. No, sorry, uh, Jan the Man.
a6a390b6-4080-4b08-a3c3-d0b6d006bf36.gif
By "people," I do mean "people." Humans. Consumers.
2b955f5d-5852-4d7b-a5ed-c44740e49433.gif
Uh, Keith, Northeast Regional, again.
66a1eabe-6486-402a-a74a-cf650f3a097c.gif
Jack told us we would be selling directly to businesses.
25ff1fa7-1441-4ddd-8c74-324e74b7a0eb.gif
- He did? - Doug. I'm shadowing Keith.
80b54a73-6add-463c-8236-72262ccb5299.gif
- Yes, he did. - Definitely. I was there. Don, again.
ba8d2c0c-0514-4335-b5fa-96942fa96a97.gif
Well, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, because, um, the plan has always been
828214fd-3b55-4077-9573-cd2300c9efdc.gif
um, entirely based on the freemium model, like Dropbox?
a333c79e-0697-4c50-824d-7fae2ac98a79.gif
You know, you give the platform away free to consumers,
25240ee8-bf17-49c7-9f71-e556ab0ec4d3.gif
and then once you have a big enough user-base,
a96f6494-3492-4ea1-8c2d-60348a7c59f0.gif
then you sell premium services to businesses.
e449fdbd-db87-4a9b-9d8f-48cfd11f8174.gif
If we're giving it away now and waiting until later to sell it,
9bc042d1-1f33-4925-9ecf-6ab9e30c70f6.gif
what are we doing here now?
af97a534-e379-4ba7-91c6-3c890c616016.gif
- I don't know. I don't know. - We could maybe ask, uh, Jack
778d3f57-de5d-472c-911d-3e5efeae5d60.gif
when he gets back, uh, from wherever...
ace00a39-3eb1-45a7-b4da-3c476858f4c9.gif
Sorry, one second. Just one moment.
48c25166-24a4-473f-a379-bca72d4d0aad.gif
Jack. Sorry, Jack.
da9885a6-5df6-4bf3-b9c0-131f1d6e4163.gif
Sorry. Excuse me, Jack. Uh, are you leaving?
3de3a249-c4f0-4e58-a394-b62a628aef05.gif
Oh, I have this charity wine thing.
1087bf45-b046-498b-ac94-09bc0749847b.gif
Sorry, I committed to it months ago, but you are killing it in there, Richard.
8a8dcf6e-b2f1-4b26-80a4-bd7726004388.gif
Uh... Well, actually no.
ca395e9f-d1fe-46cf-8054-547af7e33cb2.gif
Sorry. They just said that you told them that we would be business-facing?
4b890d80-9806-4cf0-bb52-0720c4210017.gif
Oh, they filled you in. That's good.
9101ab01-6b63-464c-b83a-efa42984cb70.gif
I was under the impression that we would be consumer first.
36a62c48-46f0-46ce-94c0-313f33e9ec5a.gif
My guys are pretty set on that.
da0e2b97-f77e-4fc6-a91f-564ec42c21db.gif
Richard, I read your deck,
3a71272a-4a7d-4beb-9608-09592dc3be96.gif
and you project it'll be four years until we get to revenue?
f65e6e07-94b5-40b8-b3f1-0ca77300fa2b.gif
Uh... Yeah.
e43188cc-1cce-4b41-9d54-2b1752b7afe0.gif
You know we're in a bubble right now, right?
633e09b7-126e-4bfa-8fef-64d80cc82d8f.gif
Or maybe you don't know. You weren't around for the last bubble.
403a3a63-839a-4133-996d-6fb0eccfeead.gif
You were probably in diapers.
0cc8bf57-5d5d-4497-8754-5fd4cd2627d1.gif
- I was 11. - Well, I wasn't in diapers.
437286be-b475-4899-8689-e23294d4d52d.gif
I don't... I wasn't either.
1c074dc3-18fd-46fb-9f20-4bf471fbc8d7.gif
- I was there. - Mmm-hmm.
c0facec7-e71f-4eae-ad15-da6ae1310b2e.gif
And in March of 2000, do you know when a four-year plan ended?
b057cf9d-80b0-40a0-84a2-c99eb5a2a8c4.gif
April of 2000.
d45a227e-8c4e-481e-a74f-87a2d9755db7.gif
We gotta move, now.
45f2786e-434e-4d23-ae4d-28e4073c5e19.gif
We can't put all of our eggs
b6e25ada-8934-46e1-8df4-f30245ecc82d.gif
in the pot-of-gold-at-the-end- of-the-rainbow basket.
14c2f578-8d6e-446a-af5c-f607abe6aab1.gif
So, the pot of gold is in the basket?
5e24aa48-daf6-4457-ada3-a9306baba47a.gif
Richard, these are the best salespeople in the world,
61fff325-7d7f-466a-98df-1d55ac7087bc.gif
and when they tell me that business-facing is the play,
b97fb0f8-e461-4cab-b78b-9e09e8fd6df8.gif
I gotta listen to that, okay?
88256acb-a896-47fc-a567-f62ce5a5de49.gif
- That's fair, but it's... - I'm just asking you
e935bc7c-d839-44f3-b4dd-82e3475fa679.gif
to talk to your guys about modifying your platform for enterprise.
a7527d40-d2ac-4f5b-91d0-43236957a654.gif
I mean, just see how it feels, okay?
2aed2d3e-17da-42c7-8a2a-731225f10bd0.gif
And no matter what happens, I promise you this.
cf105c22-79ba-4ae6-a85b-bf5283bc4f25.gif
I will never compromise the product.
e740d157-7d83-4d30-884d-c06f213d7876.gif
Okay. Okay.
05c83730-bbe6-415b-9a6b-0b1c0335e286.gif
Uh, fine, I will talk to my guys, but they're not gonna be happy about it.
c58d699a-add8-4abc-b390-2cec825efa82.gif
No, of course not. They're engineers.
a26e73e1-ecfa-4c59-a715-a4293df5ff8b.gif
I'll see you later.
ea86f85e-63dc-4fe5-8f1c-91a10fcfe945.gif
I realize this is a Japanese tradition and that you are Chinese.
bec1372a-60a8-4110-9b07-b81e24b77510.gif
I'm not racist.
53a0cff8-7a41-4bee-b961-f8469e720d48.gif
Yes, Japanese people racist. They are horrible.
5e69bdff-83fb-415f-a85a-71a86b60c690.gif
No. No, no.
69975edb-2914-4b96-9bc9-f05b11abf1c3.gif
Jian-Yang, in every relationship, there are ebbs and flows.
79f03d94-78f5-46a5-bf9f-70fe36090228.gif
- Ebbs? - Yes.
32129d36-b860-4feb-9402-8d3943545060.gif
And although we have flowed,
65101e08-5846-4f33-bd5c-7640a51d05a0.gif
our relationship now has come to a permanent ebbing.
23335a07-eacf-41be-b2cd-61ddd92dcb44.gif
- Flow. - No. No.
55392777-1f1f-487a-8dba-8603c8aad41e.gif
We have come to a permanent ebb.
ad9a3765-0049-4845-9c14-7289f0d9ec40.gif
Do you understand?
8bca88ba-8f5c-4a60-8f09-cafe59603a3e.gif
So, you want me to leave the house?
92af226b-5dff-4cfd-be30-17502fc6849c.gif
Yes. Yes. Very much so.
2c72ce93-5275-4057-87f4-254094f6da65.gif
And so, I thank you for our today.
70eb5812-fcaf-47c1-bf8e-9faa85c30794.gif
Now you bow.
0a9b04f8-91d9-451a-94d7-ad0eeda7b2ba.gif
Bow.
e36556dd-786d-4cf2-b81e-38f3f0c61f13.gif
All the way to the waist.
1bded97c-3107-4e44-bf9c-394973ca7a6c.gif
No.
4fa0bb5e-9b71-4518-b16d-222e398653a5.gif
Okay.
cad6840d-78f7-4224-9cb9-6dac4d7d04f6.gif
Thank you, Erlich.
1ec2e28c-a742-4d9c-8c59-3ba3617646f2.gif
Goodbye, little one. I'm gonna miss you.
7b198e79-e7da-4cf1-90de-690ec2dc7f53.gif
Can't say it wasn't fun, Jian-Yang, you little Cantonese bastard.
6c7ec01a-bca5-4df6-823d-698be678e750.gif
- Hey, you like this? - What are you doing?
09087ab3-e96b-4cc4-86e7-05682a5abc14.gif
Hi, my name's Erlich Bachman. I'm a lying fuck!
dc6b8480-8a9d-44f9-837e-33fb42e30abc.gif
Who... Who are you yelling at?
08169673-1cd9-407b-b8e3-e3c59929489f.gif
We're the only two people in the fucking house!
be10a6e3-907f-4d49-a110-4fb414ea89c9.gif
Erlich a liar!
f1be77a0-475a-4397-8dc2-2b8b6e0226fe.gif
You're not gonna get me to change my opinion about myself.
6793b324-d8d0-4dcc-85df-da8e4f806149.gif
- Liar! - Take that outta there.
1f94fb5f-dd50-4171-a36a-b6caefb177e7.gif
I don't know, Richard. I don't think it's that big a deal.
56e7ff1f-17f4-43e9-9bc5-00abe2b1907b.gif
Really, you don't? You're okay with being business first?
90437ca0-5b40-4d14-83a1-593cff6f489a.gif
Granted, it's not what we would do if we were in charge,
adaf6cde-7098-440e-99d1-707d89c1a188.gif
but, you know, Jack seems to know what he's doing.
349f5543-e8c9-4d2d-898e-6c3fe1584774.gif
This is fucking amazing.
8e7c27d6-f00c-4b8e-8d24-9716fe2f18b3.gif
I feel like I'm in Minority Report.
91bfdd85-950f-4119-8ef5-761db31bf52a.gif
And in reality, you're just a minority.
120f9a7e-31e4-4cf1-a61c-440d96a1f847.gif
Richard, relax. We're still building the neural net.
da47f6eb-b741-4fa4-8885-9f4068ddd04d.gif
We still get to do all the cool stuff, right?
79eb4e25-4b55-4a3a-8952-b607b8d25a6a.gif
Yeah, of course.
cef05ab0-bdba-4384-9cb8-44f16ce66c33.gif
We're not scrapping any peer-to-peer delivery?
e1689f4e-939a-4e1a-9801-c0f044aca8ba.gif
No, no, definitely not.
3ae4a9a6-e042-4cb1-be5b-8db1481fbd49.gif
So, we're still doing the same stuff, just in a different order.
648fc0f7-7c17-4f28-8715-1f59a1cc1c9e.gif
Yeah, I guess you're right.
c12c6695-db8c-4721-b533-9a3777b6881e.gif
Well, the eviction process is officially underway,
235370d2-b90e-4319-bc78-cec24bd52a33.gif
but my attorney says it may take up to a year.
be4d80a0-df57-42eb-8d36-5eb0a6f76da0.gif
- Where are you gonna stay? - Well, I always have my trick.
b7bf7271-2f12-4134-b706-6c9c5cc106df.gif
All right, I'll bite. What's your trick?
93dfb7ef-9c74-4b85-8b60-6510b0ed94e3.gif
I simply imagine that my skeleton is me,
00418f37-5ff4-44e2-a83f-c9ad371d1568.gif
and my body is my house, and that way, I'm always home.
406f690b-f62a-42ac-8a8e-587bd612319f.gif
Okay. Well, uh, we are now business-facing. I don't know if you heard.
cf847d72-35b3-4bca-bfbb-7199b5988c61.gif
That means we have to rewrite our entire deck.
9ee7d36d-f36f-4cdb-922a-1d3aeac7f94b.gif
I just hope it doesn't put us way the fuck behind.
d133c6de-cd6f-4975-b38a-88b97998178e.gif
Behind who? EndFrame sucks and Nucleus shit the bed, remember?
fb16bdb2-0b20-4bf0-b53c-c223adddda39.gif
Yeah, yeah. You're right, you're right.
7921cdc7-090d-4ffa-97ce-9641fec685ec.gif
Wow.
19246dbd-59c0-43cc-bdba-d44c679910b5.gif
This is endless.
3399d699-37a6-4ea9-b6d0-4978de0e82b6.gif
If we'd worked this hard on Nucleus in the first place,
66c77d46-40e0-4d87-8f5f-77f328a6262c.gif
we probably wouldn't be scrubbing it right now.
c04163a2-ae88-4044-a9dc-cde46f1b2479.gif
- Dude, are you done? - Yup.
9179a072-49df-4eab-9301-a42dd743d20f.gif
How'd your script digest all those strings so fast?
0ac94ac7-6ef6-4dd8-927f-880c5d560a76.gif
I don't know. It's just a predictive loop.
fc107e80-3b40-4bd9-b2b3-984a69c61fc3.gif
Actually, it's sort of like a context tree.
50f26e84-fdc6-4b9a-ab38-ef6133d858e9.gif
Holy shit.
567d8476-9f4f-4af4-91ba-072df0f29476.gif
What's up?
79a7969a-db9f-4738-bfe8-5252090d24b2.gif
Hey, Jared, why don't we knock off for tonight
5e998230-5c77-4a6e-b323-b2cff8fb377f.gif
and just pick this back up tomorrow morning.
86f33acc-49f4-46ec-8902-1bd471e9368e.gif
Mmm. Agreed.
b84aa658-317c-4324-aaf0-544972b23b92.gif
I'm going on close to 40 hours without good sleep,
8c4f0d3d-92a2-452d-8bbe-18d077b5db9f.gif
and the edges of things are starting to get a little dancey.
fbadd988-c278-43fd-b5a1-ad3bcafab770.gif
What?
4d1f0327-a60a-4f8e-bbaa-dc756bb69bf4.gif
Erlich, thank you again for allowing me to occupy
0ad39419-d3c1-4504-a645-2515eb436389.gif
a corner of your cozy garage.
306b292e-6c4a-4e3c-ad46-7d6482f7643f.gif
It is my hearth and my home.
c311d51c-2586-45e1-9b29-d97e1456498d.gif
What the fuck?
fa4a7d09-9329-4235-b2ee-4a4b4957a820.gif
Jian-Yang, Jesus Christ.
42bf2f53-7d20-4b84-9f41-d272e8a91d14.gif
Don't sneak up on people like that, you devious little bastard,
a2aaa2f1-7277-4dce-9022-8a7e0187f44f.gif
especially if they're cleaning glassware.
de0cdd34-dfa8-4146-ab17-3b57fe58def6.gif
You kick me out, but you let him stay. He's not even an incubee.
db322a58-1e21-45cc-8912-bf6a6843f78c.gif
No, he's not, and he's not staying in the house.
54dd4d02-740f-4142-a0b9-0c7c3712ff7e.gif
He's in the garage, like a sad bag of potting soil.
de0769f2-8d34-453e-8a75-3f07a3c1433b.gif
Have some compassion.
e79464d6-79b1-4bc9-95a6-c72e0d6b6e1f.gif
I mean, the guy rented his place to some fuckhead tenant who won't leave.
78f92e85-b2f2-45cf-9e22-4d9504086b97.gif
Jared is fucked, Jian-Yang.
5876b200-95d2-4f1c-ae6c-0fecfa0a5f93.gif
He can go to the police.
8b73091d-26df-4c03-8bac-b24e685afbc8.gif
It's useless. California law gives landlords, literally, no recourse.
e3a5da33-434d-49b3-8433-44793ae84748.gif
So, he can go to court.
fc99fb48-13f5-41a7-b084-808a6fcdfdee.gif
Of course, he's going to go to court, you four-eyed turd.
f9089ed6-10f8-4dc9-a762-dbf28203ae8a.gif
But in America, the legal system doesn't work very well,
1d8d2cd6-28f3-4a14-9f43-1ad7413c77f3.gif
so it will take at least a year for the proceedings to even begin.
c6377ac7-44ce-46d7-9424-1cb9c58df166.gif
Do you understand that?
e32d18a2-72dd-4a65-8ab7-fb1bddaf32aa.gif
Yes. I stay here for one year.
b140cad5-23c3-4c25-9c41-cd3f0746ba5f.gif
I pay no rent. You have no recourse.
e559b4cf-7811-4d43-b507-3f314bf6ea86.gif
That's not always the case.
5d18b37e-56e7-449c-9e1e-ee0da16b0901.gif
I mean, sometimes court systems can move faster,
bde6dce5-1eb6-4999-af15-7c1871e28650.gif
-especially if you have the money for... - I'm going to smoke in my room.
439b2946-963e-447c-9124-ace084eb5090.gif
- Special occasion. - Oh. Mother fuck.
6bb5252e-18b0-417f-b7d0-69102298a585.gif
If we stack that same loop on top of the bit-level encoder
324c147a-8c1e-4b8b-9173-561b5b238e89.gif
that we took from Hendricks,
f222881d-1e57-40a3-aced-34805887a7c5.gif
and then we tethered it to the routine we were trying to use...
60e428ec-6ecd-4156-939a-d92edc80c973.gif
That would be a huge jump in speed.
6eb744d8-7090-45d6-8d5e-4fd1b581b06a.gif
This is mega.
51e27cef-bb0c-45d2-9697-c8475203bbd1.gif
This is what Hendricks did at TechCrunch Disrupt.
a082d753-9353-47ba-9c5f-f437b785a2ed.gif
I think we just cracked middle-out.
53719fd8-3719-4d82-a6b0-4f96565fcbe5.gif
We should probably tell Gavin, right?
b43c518a-13c1-46ea-a617-eb3fdfcd841d.gif
Why? He fired us.
0e16440c-b07c-4f6b-be5c-959bb599350b.gif
You know how much we could get paid if we took this somewhere else?
712458e0-c5f3-4205-a28b-b9faf079bc59.gif
Fuck off.
27913461-f160-4a83-876c-3f59dc4cf021.gif
Okay, let me get this straight.
5680d465-8bdf-4f95-989c-81f9e8503939.gif
First you talked me into going business-facing,
5ad6cb22-3ed1-479d-b19c-21410011ddf7.gif
and now you want to eliminate the entire neural net from the platform?
152e7771-4351-4847-9b02-8c709caac643.gif
Jan, Director, Inside Sales. They call me "Jan the Man."
300d8033-ff45-4a12-893e-b72a318c059b.gif
Yes, we know, "Jan the Man."
d44a051b-167b-431a-a82c-4f3d55675abd.gif
Listen, uh, we have to do neural net for deep learning.
3fcef6ce-79a8-4607-8967-63b6377d631e.gif
Look, once we get enough data flowing through the system,
7e5ac2aa-688d-46d3-ac1e-69a04edacb37.gif
it will be able to recognize long-range patterns and actually learn.
82d950e8-047c-4db3-b34c-07ab2029c467.gif
It will be able to optimize our algorithm on its own,
1afd859c-9951-4f47-bebe-088c76356d17.gif
increasing our already superior speed and efficiency.
46528571-1b75-47c0-9a8f-51f28c34a5c1.gif
Right? Pretty cool, huh?
3f57831b-663c-49bb-9e8b-384db30358e1.gif
But it won't be able to do that if we delete it.
647b7b2d-2308-4244-a2a9-5b9ee5b179eb.gif
- Do you get that? - But you just said it.
ba82e1b5-a715-4290-bc90-712361689ab0.gif
It requires a central repository of data, right?
54bd9774-7897-49e8-992f-32de938dfd53.gif
Businesses want to protect their data.
f8682b8b-9006-4d54-8e79-211d722d29b9.gif
They're huge pussies when it comes to security.
4f21964f-f03f-46c1-b65a-950ead2054de.gif
Okay, well, we're not cutting machine learning. We're not.
38d0037c-6c61-4074-ba96-a1f802f44090.gif
If we cut that, we might as well cut peer-to-peer delivery,
ccabe842-8d93-4e57-9b24-dc2c088a3575.gif
and all the efficiencies of the cloud.
cf272b29-8f75-4142-88df-877a3cf01e5c.gif
Are those still in?
25f4d8cf-b7cb-4e9c-a71c-2a65a860dac9.gif
No, those have to go also.
f2e29173-4f65-4ea9-97b0-0c577a46a9e2.gif
- What? - Keith, by the way.
f5741f0b-b1f0-4ace-af27-8060cd7cc357.gif
I know your name, okay? I know everybody's name.
81e34abf-204c-4ae2-a852-0ff27e256b9a.gif
Look, uh, we can't cut everything about this platform that makes it revolutionary
52972a28-a456-4037-9bc7-944c3513795f.gif
just because that's a little harder for you guys to sell, all right?
8952cbb7-3dd8-4f8e-a8d6-39edd2149328.gif
If we want to sell out, let's just sell all the way out.
d919a5f4-e79a-435d-831c-22c5d974e965.gif
Let's just take the algorithm, jam it into a metal fucking box,
5393a301-f46b-47f0-8e3d-78c7f009a5a8.gif
stick it in the back of a data center somewhere,
be1d08fe-6c62-45c3-bbad-90094eb8f2a3.gif
so it can't connect to anything,
8caea559-e84d-4a19-8bbb-76123c491aa9.gif
and it just sits there and no one even knows it's there.
a224e964-9e87-4ab5-875a-f58cd95e5a8e.gif
Doug, still shadowing Keith.
0bb807f6-0719-4fdb-a609-0ef64669db2d.gif
When you say "metal box,"
0bb50554-861d-48c1-baed-f3c315974226.gif
you're talking about a rack-mounted server-type appliance?
e8428af5-d39e-4487-b11c-40458624fd56.gif
No, no, no. lam using it as a rhetorical example of a bad idea.
f458a3e3-9737-4f24-bc8a-d5c9d0a859f6.gif
That's fucking stupid.
fcd4eac5-8f06-404b-9147-2925a66aee72.gif
Oh, my God.
ade2e8a5-8cff-42c7-9bfe-e2d28d2afcdd.gif
I just need to find Jack. One second.
5ec1089a-cb50-40c4-9e50-f7be3896b6ad.gif
- Where's Jack? - He had to go meet his vet.
94ebddca-b133-4b8d-afce-ef54ef5c997e.gif
His vet? In the middle of the day? Okay, uh, well, what's the vet's address?
9a7d95d6-8ae1-4d8c-8725-bcf10fd381d7.gif
Jack, excuse me. Do you mind telling me...
943549b2-7996-4966-a45e-0cb978bed4aa.gif
Holy shit. What is that?
0f3176a4-da4f-483f-9921-ae85884786d7.gif
- Oh, mother of God. - Richard, what are you doing here?
9e392987-c229-4a49-b6d7-e23d12a2d294.gif
What do you mean? It's 2:30. What are you doing here?
c35ad1c0-cde9-4f84-b014-990719ed2e10.gif
My number one breeding mare went into heat. Sorry, she's not much for schedules.
e4e88a04-ebdd-40dd-9c34-03b4dde775b3.gif
Oh, God.
c44adc69-c059-47de-b53b-9eedbd45c907.gif
Thoroughbreds, Richard. Natural cover only.
d387856f-8230-4861-b1bb-8f346c231913.gif
Now, you don't see that very often, do you?
15671689-ddf8-4129-814d-1fd2aa642581.gif
Nope.Uh“.
eb1ab389-84d7-4aa9-af07-24c327652f50.gif
I had a meeting... I had a meeting with the sales guys
52e655bc-644e-4a39-bc23-3abdec12659f.gif
and, uh, Jan the Man...
1f134d6c-7f7d-4ccb-ba05-45a544490170.gif
Uh... You know what? Can we talk over here? This is just hard for me.
a8fa9179-aab4-491d-89b6-0c2443204b2c.gif
Look, Jack, uh, you and I have a problem.
23778577-53ed-4c16-bb8d-885f458687cc.gif
Okay, your salespeople are telling me to cut everything cool about the platform
bb4e8df6-11de-43ac-89a2-12daa23aedf1.gif
just because it's a little bit harder for them to sell.
cc685b54-28d2-4197-a14e-f252330c4af7.gif
But don't you think, because they are such amazing salespeople,
5b291649-5597-4215-b2e9-beabd53764f5.gif
that it would be okay for them to sell the harder stuff?
092b7e97-81e1-413c-8e12-8dd084d92732.gif
No. It doesn't work that way.
aea3aae2-3100-44f7-b3e7-03125e2936fd.gif
The way you keep the best salespeople is, you need to give 'em something easy to sell.
518308f0-2c5a-49e4-991e-774cdcb983e5.gif
Otherwise, they'd just go somewhere else.
2880c5e2-1741-41d9-9759-f0aae138d1c5.gif
Okay, well, uh, Pied Piper could honestly be the global standard
50925bd4-3a03-4b14-b2e0-a5f4085c1a00.gif
for file compression and storage.
9b99ab34-3492-4856-8417-494e70b41592.gif
Every mobile device on the face of the planet could be able to access their data
5adda762-5105-44a4-a678-bae87cf413b6.gif
as if they had a fiber optic cable plugged into it.

People in the desert, people in refugee camps,
695edf20-6166-4e8a-92f5-2695ef37f9ad.gif
people who have nothing could suddenly have access to everything.

You know, everybody in this industry,
3ed4b639-8d8a-4ae9-92df-19b2fa0664b9.gif
they say they want to make this world a better place,
93726da9-c215-4dd8-bc81-3c17a68fffb0.gif
but we could actually do it.
727200ad-c5af-4bea-bc31-c187fb0ff7f2.gif
We could do it and make billions of dollars.

- Richard, listen... - No, you listen to me, Jack.
e933630d-c890-4a47-9962-b044037330af.gif
You promised me that you would never compromise the product.
4f3f9632-cca0-4a0f-b7a2-5d9e9cb799c1.gif
So, do you feel like taking some action and backing me up on this,
7ed2d10c-c7e3-4c79-9111-0e7db96f66b2.gif
because me and my product feel pretty fucking compromised right now.
b0098fda-d32e-4f08-9cfa-9cd6ad53a3b2.gif
Richard, I don't think you understand what the product is.
5c1a3ca6-8d22-4cd3-90e7-42f0684a2220.gif
The product isn't the platform, and the product isn't your algorithm, either.
35b6b803-a72a-42fb-96b1-e54122bd8c63.gif
And it's not even the software.

Do you know what Pied Piper's product is, Richard?
182f55e9-372a-41f5-85d5-8175bca16aff.gif
Is...
9118d42b-ea19-4958-98a6-8d44c9a4d4c9.gif
Is it me?
aaea3b21-5512-4045-8a8b-fddeaa748cec.gif
Oh, God! No!
86494af6-b655-4787-89f0-c6b1ead3dad1.gif
No. How could it possibly be you? You got fired.
50dcfe8a-4464-45b8-80d6-829eeaead487.gif
Pied Piper's product is its stock.
4721fdf3-b455-4b8d-a122-ff2805b8c9da.gif
Its stock?
3b3c32aa-ae46-4d24-909f-48ab43122af9.gif
And whatever makes the value of that stock go up,
4924c4b8-a1c9-4a4c-b5ce-3e964da1e64f.gif
that is what we are going to make.
520d682a-6b56-45bd-bf4a-d6e0e25c5c11.gif
And maybe sometime in the future,
9cd1407a-f50d-43f6-b336-8e81d49c93b1.gif
we could change the world and perform miracles,
b71e585f-9af0-4307-9002-6b47432f08d8.gif
and all of that stuff, and I hope we do.
365b7697-06bd-4d6e-a334-1cae676936a5.gif
But, like I told you before,
e5805515-3797-47bc-95c4-ff9b377215cb.gif
I'm not going to mortgage the present for that.
80b2606d-898e-423c-824b-c714000ef9cc.gif
I need to move the needle today.
24a7301a-4208-4c05-a9f2-2c86345c9579.gif
And now, if you will excuse me.

I paid $150,000 for the semen that's about to come out of that stallion,
eaf603f8-ccc6-4fba-b3d9-aaff222ed5d9.gif
and I would very much like to be there
5ed0ee62-05e4-4ee7-bdfc-f14811023530.gif
to see that it happens.

- Oh. Hey, Richard! - Yes?

I just got a text from Keith, Northeast Regional.

He says the guys love your idea.
ac3f49f7-6b07-4ddc-b15b-02dd07faa536.gif
What idea?

It's a big world,
c834c94a-03ce-4e0a-85c2-7f7343b0b7be.gif
but thanks to modern technology, it's smaller than ever.

You can access your company's data anywhere, anytime.
727e5362-7e88-43ba-b028-6ca155f437f3.gif
But if you can get your data, who else can get it?

Spies, thieves, criminals, and foreigners.

What if there was a way to take all of your company's data
cb77b1b2-0c3c-4bfc-a5a1-4f9da4889d6c.gif
and back it up in a protected enclosure completely isolated from the world at large?
382b9d9a-e4c0-463a-8d41-a62ecb51d3b9.gif
Oh, no.

Why does it say "Pied Piper" on it?
