>>2593216 Very true. The money is made, not so much from salaries, but from stocks.

>>2593223 The other big money is made in Silicon Valley by selling information. GPS on shared transportation has no privacy. They are tracking the movements of people and selling it to developers, etc.

>>2593241 They should at least tell people that are paying to get used. They don't inform the public. That bothers me a lot.

>>2593241 I am in California and have never known another who sees things the way I do about that. I have one close friend who is a big deal in the tech world. But, he is not into the culture. He hints about it, but mostly rolls his eyes and agrees with me that you just smile stupidly and nod your head and don't say anything. Like me, he was not overly thrilled with either Hillary or Trump. I was secretly happy that Trump won, but you don't dare be open about that around here.
