The Obama administration is moving to remove a 40 year ban on oil exports. We take a look at what that means for gas prices. Plus, with the tech industry’s notorious gender and diversity issues, Google has donated $50 million to “Made with Code,” which is meant to inspire young girls. But change might mean more than just money for education. Plus, why Oakland may be the next Silicon Valley, but with more diversity than its counterpart across the bay.
