there's always an untapped place somewhere. in the 80s people were saying this about someplace else probably.

New York city probably. That place has been huge and expensive for like 100 years now. The new untapped places to look at might be Austin TX and Boise ID

Can you imagine moving to the Bay Area in the 80s? To grow up when land was still cheap, before college competition was cutthroat and unaffordable, when relatively simple competence could get you a solid job and VC/PE firms weren't plundering and incentivizing the latest 30-second attention-span app to reach $1B? It would be me living in Los Altos now, instead of the old rich people who I curse for refusing to die or…

Sadly, he then was at the center of a non competitive fight between Apple and Google. After he left Apple, Google tried to hire him but was forced not to do it by Steve Jobs https://pando.com/2014/03/27/how-steve-jobs-forced-google-to...

Interesting story but Jean-louis gassee is not the same person as Jean-marie hullot

Isn’t Miami literally sinking into the ocean (unlike Silicon Valley which is figuratively gone Atlantis) ?

Ops...my bad. I was wondering this morning why there seams to be a tradition at Apple to hire French engineers and executives.
