In Japan you can leave your laptop at the cafe, on the table, unlocked, while you go to the bathroom. I find it sad that in SF this is considered “amazing”. This is not amazing. This should be considered the norm.

Nice! In Japan you can leave your laptop in the cafe while you go to the bathroom. This should NOT be amazing. Why do people find this amazing? This should be the norm. Sadly, SF people find it amazing.

I spend a lot of time in Zurich, and I’m in tech. Lotta googlers there. I haven’t seen any discussions like this about Zurich yet. When someone says Zurich is quite safe people nod and move on. It’s not news and it’s not controversial.

Get out of here with your logical arguments! You’re ruining the fun for all the people that don’t think crime is a big deal.

Funny how people try so hard to show/prove/argue that SF is safe. If it was, these discussions wouldn’t exist. You won’t see these threads about Zurich, just saying.
