Family leave, Intel’s MobilEye purchase, and other headlines

Posted onMarch 24, 2017 by Justin Pot
  • Oregon lawmakers are considering a family leave bill, which could require companies to contribute to a fund offering up to 12 weeks off a year for unplanned family leave, Chris Lehman of OPB reports.
  • Over at Stratechery, Ben Thompson has an interesting take on Intel’s acquisition of MobilEye, and what it could mean for Hillsboro’s biggest employer. Basically, companies like Intel have a chance to make a lot of money on self-driving cars if they position themselves well.
  • School districts all over the state are going to have to make up for a budget shortfall, OPB’s Rob Manning reports. Hillsboro shortfall will be $9 million, and the school board is considering bigger class sizes and a shorter school year.
  • It’s not just you: there really are more people from the Bay Area here than before, according to Rick Turoczy at Silicon Florist.
