Seattle police are searching for explosives at Amazon’s headquarters after a threatening letter was found at one of the company’s buildings just north of the city’s downtown district, authorities said on Monday. Amazon building security contacted Seattle police at 10:30 am after staff found a note inside a bathroom at one of the buildings that make up Amazon’s sprawling headquarters, police said, without disclosing the contents of the note. The exact building was not identified, but police said it was on the 400 block of Terry Avenue North, where the most prominent Amazon buildings are located. Police said some employees had been evacuated while arson and bomb squad teams, along with explosive detection dog teams, searched the area. Amazon did not return calls seeking comment. According to Seattle tech news site GeekWire, citing sources close to the situation, Amazon’s Day 1 South building was closed because of the threat and some employees had returned home to work. Day 1 South is at the center of Amazon’s headquarters in the South Lake Union neighborhood. The online retailer and cloud computing company is the biggest employer in the area, with thousands of staff in several buildings.

Yo is great because this slew of "one-button" apps really are the wave of the future. I have a different one-button app for everything that I want. So for example if I want to send a message to my friend all I have to do is open my folder for messaging app folders and then go to the folder with the messaging app for the particular message i want to send and then open that and then open the app and then go to their name and then tap it and boom only one click to send a message

Fabricated posted:If there's ever a massive bay-destroying earthquake the subsequent rush to rebuild even bigger/densely packed dwellings will make your head spin I thought that the lack of density was a major driver of the poors getting priced out. a mass reset of property validations for tax purposes would be a great thing for that area because 3/4 of the bay doesn't get any blowback from the effects of being nimby as hell but I'm sure that there would be a massive push to exempt the rebuilt properties from triggering the tax recalculation.

the whole area around UCSF, mostly the inner sunset, is starting to get a lot of notice precisely because it was mostly untouched by the gentrification hitting all the other major SF hoods. so of course everybody is trying to move to the inner sunset as a result edit: someone did a write-up of hipsters & techies moving to the city, i forget how it was phrased, something like "they move to neighborhoods in search of culture and then push culture out in favor of amenities"

Bloody posted:fwiw the some of densest (big) cities in the world already have crazy height restrictions, such as paris (6 stories unless you a church) and somerville (3 family dumpsters as far as the eye can see) the densest metro in america is LA. there are very few tall buildings in LA or the surrounding communities. what they do have is miles and miles and miles of ugly 3- and 4-family houses ("dingbats") separated by strips of apartment blocks. the problem in san francisco isn't that they haven't built high enough in the densest urban core (i think one transamerica pyramid is quite enough thank you). it's that they won't knock over the garbage detached homes in the presidio or the painted ladies or all the idiot 1950s garbage in palo alto SF and the bay could stand to look a lot more like LA if they ever want to see middle class families living comfortably again
