The Big Apple has a new claim to fame. According to a recent report, New York City has overtaken Silicon Valley to become North America’s top market for tech jobs. The report, by commercial real estate firm CBRE, found that the New York metro area had 394,000 techies at the end of last year, while the San Francisco Bay area’s total dipped to roughly 375,000.

Congratulations to New York, the better Apple

Yeah, and I’m going to urinate ahead of death. At least, I hope so.

Point being, the hed is a cheque the threadbare story can’t cash. There’s no causality. “Apple lays off staffers ahead of heat death of universe” also works. In the latter case, no reasonable person would see entropy at fault.
