"This last caveat leads to an interesting economic question. As noted above, retail prices for CAPTCHA-solving vary over a wide range, from about $1 per thousand to $20 per thousand. This price spread, and the fact that it’s technically fea

Why was this down voted? Maybe it read like an ad? I don't work for them. The OP is asking for an agency and the top voted comment suggests that agencies aren't a good way to go because they're often paid a percentage of total spending. Tra

I find myself very conflicted about this. I think the wording of "kill switch" is an extremely poor choice so I will try to illustrate what I think the genuine national security reasoning is, using China as the hypothetical aggressor. The C

That was great, the only thing missing was why. I am sure there are some interesting applications of the principles they explored and I would have loved to have heard a few at the end. Feel free to fill me in.

I've been listening to the Podcast of these talks for over a year now. I highly recommended the whole series, it's called entrepreneurial thought leaders on itunes. Almost every speaker is fascinating, from the CEO of KLA Tencor to Zuckerbe

Two ideas, one is straight forward and one is probably crazy. Either way I think it's going to take a variety of strategies to make it work. Definitely figure out if people will pay, but don't "Rework" yourself into thinking that business m

Just saying "in the Great Depression, the exporting countries had the hardest time adjusting to deteriorating economic conditions" fell flat for me. Maybe it's because I've been studying for my macro final all day but I think a lot more eco

I think there are lots of cool things that can be done with SMS but I don't think I get this. Why would an advertiser want to text in their ads instead of just typing them up in adwords or another advertising platform?

Debt in a company isn't like personal debt. Debt, used properly, is a lever to increase profitability. Even very profitable companies that have no "need" for debt will have a target capital structure that includes some debt. It's about maxi
