I disagree. Israel is unique in terms of it's human capital. Tech companies have locations there for the same reasons they have locations in Oxford and Cambridge in the UK. There are 135 per 10,000 people employed as engineers there, c

Steve Jobs was one of the most micromanaging CEOs I've read about. He overruled many CTO decisions during his time at Apple, both at the founding of the company and upon his return to the company years later, so I wouldn't use him

Presumably the dawn of driverless cars is coupled with driverless mass transport, which would offset the environmental impact to some degree? Drivers of these vehicles are often - if not always - the most expensive part of the system. They
