It didnāt come cheap, with āIntel paying a premium of 60 times Mobileyeās earnings, about four times the premium that Qualcomm is paying to acquire the Netherlandsā NXPā.

Great article. I loved this quote: This is the crux of the problem: Google can only show you information if it exists on the web. There are no news stories about Obama not planning a coup, just as web pages about the Holocaust tend to take as a given that it happened. Google canāt refer users to a web page that doesnāt exist, and it is ā so far ā not in the business of crafting rebuttals itself, which is why conspiracy theories dominate briefly, until they can be noticed and rebutted.
