Odd reference to Juul: 4 dozen new employees juxtaposed with Apple's possible 15,000.

> "Apple’s presence in Austin is the biggest after its headquarters in Cupertino, California, and the company said it would invest $1 billion in Austin to build an office park capable of holding 15,000 additional employees, roughly double the current workforce there. Juul Labs Inc., the San Francisco-based maker of a popular e-cigarette, said it will open an office in Austin for some four-dozen employees to start."

Especially since Juul is not a tech company.
