[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a shity southern state with as much swampland around its one draw (DC). Traffic sucks so there is a race to be close but the rest is mediocre. Who would look at Springfield and think this deserves to be nice?[/quote]

Was about to say something similar. SV has the Pacific on one side and gorgeous mountains on the other side + bay.

Nova is ugly as shit humid swampland.[/quote]

NOVA is what it is, granted no oceans and views. But it is invigorating the Mid Atlantic in TECH plus politics. Being just outside of the heart of Congress doesn't exactly hurt and many of my neighbor lawyers and lobbyists live hear for precisely that.[/quote]

If you are creating a product or service people actually want to buy or use, you won’t need to kiss a politicians ass.

Talented people have choices and  choosing not to live in an expensive swamp is obviously one most make.[/quote]
 
Actually we have a product that no one is willing to pay for, want to use for free, then trade their personal information for its use, then politicians do matter [/quote]

Good point, but not all SV companies have made money this way.[/quote]

Facebook, Google do, and Apple and Amazon sell services and hardware built on the back of the first two.

If we didn’t have Facebook, Google on our phones what would we do,  if we actually paid for apps b/c they couldn’t harvest personal info, I suspect usage was plummet.

And AWS is backbone of Amazon profits, and SV companies are biggest customer (though DoD could be next)[/quote]

Apple and Amazon are built on back of Facebook and Google?  Okaaaay. Care to elaborate?

There are also companies like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb... not to mention companies like Cisco and Oracle. Adobe. Agilent. HP. Intel etc etc

[/quote]

+eBay, Netflix, Tesla, Xilinx

In other words.. companies where being a worthless bureaucrat just won’t cut it[/quote]
