> I always hear these rumors that the next Silicon Valley will be Austin, or Santa Monica, or Miami and so on. Seattle and NYC have much more developed tech ecosystems than any of those, and are legit #2's to Silicon Valley.

Haven't heard of many startups founded by ex-Oracle employees (ex-Google, ex-Facebook is a different story). I doubt this will improve when Oracle moves.

Uber and Lyft are behind a proposition that is on the November ballot that will undo AB 5. Stopping service now would leave customers scrambling, but would also give them a strong incentive to vote for that proposition in November. Although
