This investment is enough to buy five homes in San Jose, where the median home price is $995,000. Google has over 100 open job postings around San Jose this morning and a $31 B profit last year.https://twitter.com/sundarpichai/status/1189189205085188096 …

For those who have never been to the region, take a look at the sprawl in Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose and Cupertino in Google's handy 3D service.

When Mark Zuckerberg razed 4 houses around his to "protect his privacy", what scandalized most people was the hypocrisy of a privacy-destroying mogul.

Again, if elected, I will expropriate and move Stanford University into a fucking skyscraper. They can point the linear accelerator upwards. (please do not investigate my connections with Ukraine)

Nah, it should be replaced with a steam catapult. Could be vertical, I suppose.
