I've also heard foods described as having "bite" to indicate that they have a strong, spicy flavor, but not necessarily a "hot" one.

Also, net neutrality being in the Democratic Party platform is a far cry from it actually being law. The election isn't over yet and so we don't know who the next president will be and which parties will control which houses of Congress.

Interesting. Much of the reporting on the day of suggested that the attack was felt exclusively in the United States, but this says otherwise.

The talk page for San Jose (or is it San José?) has a very passionate debate about whether the article's name should be accented or not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:San_Jose,_California#Requ...

All software companies produce intellectual property.

Almost all executive orders direct federal agencies, which are part of the executive branch, to take a given action. An executive order that attempts to compel a state to enact a certain policy is unheard of.

The project in the comic actually appears to be building a tree swing. I'm sure this was just an oversight on the author's part but if anything it reinforces the point the comic is making.

Agreed, I thought Cupertino was a silly example. It's actually funny that you say "suburbs of Silicon Valley," because the entire valley is suburban.

Where's the urban area that Apple is supposed to move to? Downtown San Jose? If anything "the communities their products were supposed to impact" (Which are what by the way? Rich people?) are concentrated more heavily in Cupertino than anywhere else in the valley.*

Aside from that, I'm sure Apple is enjoying the position that comes with literally owning half a city. Imagine getting any other city that obsessed with property values and traffic to approve the new campus.

*Downtown San Jose's office spaces are criminally underoccupied, but I imagine there's not nearly enough vacancies to fill the needs of a giant like Apple.

> The casual accusation of racism ("harder to maintain an all-white workforce!") is really just the icing on the cake.

The article is massively oversimplifying, but it's not wrong. The mid 1900s saw southern, rural blacks move into cities and urban whites move into suburbs. You could write a book about the relationship between those two trends (and I'm sure many have) and I don't doubt that it played a part in corporations resettling as well, whether they had race in mind or not.

The underlying social tension hasn't gone away.
