The deal was $750 million cash and $2 billion in resources (whatever that means). Looks like it was more to get resource commitments for the launch... And cash because why not.

I saw on Bloomberg TV 5%...though I think that is 5% of Cruise and not GM. GM bought cruise for $500 million cash. This investment puts Cruise at $15 billion. Nice return...

Yeah I agree. With 10 years as 'individual contributor', the last 2 as team lead, an eMBA might serve me better. Tech is coming to our office next week to present/recruit for eMBA, so this article and your response is perfect

Does that mean you get free coffee everyday or a one time deal? If its everyday then it's a decent amount of rewards for what essentially LinkedIn is getting for free.

Chrysler Pacifica has a 7 seater mini van that gets 33 miles on a full charge, and gasoline engine after that. For my use case I'd never need to fill up, except for long road trips. Unfortunately I need a 8 seater.
