In the article he's dealing with a graph of billions of edges - probably not billions of nodes. That's been my experience, too, with loading a graph in memory on a laptop: billions of edges and hundreds of millions of nodes is fin

Actually, this is something else. Those foreigner-only, hard-currency-only ones are sad enough, but this is much worse. There is no store. It's just playacting.

OK, maybe it's just me. But I tried it on a second browser - same thing. Thanks!

That SF map is bullshit. In general you would never see such an even spacing of startups (or most anything) unless someone were trying distribute them very carefully. And specifically there are a number of super dense hotspots that should s
