- mc32 10y agoYou're right. My point is a lot of innovation goes into data centers (as well as distribution centers) and necessarily it's not downtown.
- user5994461 10y agoThere was another topic on HN talking about these datacenters. Less than 50 people work in a typical datacenters. All the R&D to make the datacenter is done outside of it, in R&D centers.
