The EU is planning a complete ban on Russian oil imports. iznashih/Getty Images Energy stocks are dominating the list of new highs in the S&P 500 as oil prices approach 2008 levels.

Despite economic turmoil in the tech world, an Oakland-based startup shows that moonshots are still getting funded. Felt, co-founded by Sam Hashemi and Can Duruk , wants to disrupt the role of maps in society, and rethink how we think about the medium. The startup allows users to build a map with datasets integrated into it, and work with each other to showcase impact in a less static way than your average Google maps query.
