Oh, you'll eat those words. A year isn't long enough for a place like Silicon Valley to empty out.

The rich rats already left. Larry Ellison is gone, National Instruments is owned by Texas Instruments. Idiot Elon Musk left for Texas. And other rich people filled the voids so far. A year from now it'll be the same. Maybe it'll be different in five or ten years.

And the same can be said for any place, including Texas.

They were cleaned up. Before the new buildings were built.

You're thinking of Ashley Govik's suits. She's not getting any traction and it's unclear she will.

For lawsuits of the sort of "I don't like my workplace conditions" her lawsuits are incredibly widely covered.

I think she has lawsuits against an apartment complex she lived in too.

Insane. Each platform has ginormous teams only dealing with ads moderation and ad policy. Endless meetings about what signals to use to detect fraud, counterfeits, etc. I know because I’ve worked on the issues. It’s not as clearcut as one would think to try to establish moderation policies that can be applied universally without blocking bona fide advertisers.

Add to that they also are big players in jet turbines. Most people know the from their cars but they definitely have the big engineering chops to build a reactor!

Edit: I think they are technically a different company now according to some other comments. The cars are now owned by bmw. Doesn’t change the fact that the actual rolls Royce company has a lot of big engineering expertise.
