Google has $31 billion of advertising revenue on their own sites (says their 2012 annual report.) They have about 1 billion unique users per month (from Comscore.) So they have about $31 per user per year of ad revenue on their own sites. M

Does it? That's not how I read it, but I'm not a Constitutional Lawyer. Here's the full clause "The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of

Curious to know where the Ntrepid $2.8 million "sock puppet" tech is spreading propaganda. I have noticed many of the same irrational comments being made on articles about Snowden in the MSM and then being voted up more than they

There were many Silicon Alley billionaires back in '99/'00. I had four (I think) in my portfolio alone. But none of them were billionaires after the dot-com crash. As my boss back then used to say: "Money's not mone

One guess--if it was in Brooklyn and was a station with no tracks laid down (so never actually used as a station)--is that it was part of the IND second line. Maybe the South 4th Street and Broadway station? This line was started just befor

Not to go down the wrong rabbithole--the article should be in the Fanciful Speculation section of the paper, not the News section--but handing over a passphrase would mean the the Russian authorities' statement that they "are not

Cornell is as much a NYC school as Stanford is a Pacific Grove school. Instead of investing in making existing infrastructure better, Bloomberg decided to start from scratch. From the outside this seemed as much a poke-in-the-eye to the exi

I know someone from jersey who was approached about investing in the island back then. I thought it sounded pretty cool. He said "except that's where all the escapees from Rikers wash up." I couldn't tell if he was jokin

Obama says the congresspeople are all briefed up. They say they aren't. So they brief them up. Then they're confused. The NSA would have been better off not trying to keep the whole program secret, since no one in Washington seems

I think that people like us (that is, people who think in a systems fashion about the electronic communications networks and the data flowing over them) are more likely to view this with alarm than the normals. I think that's because w

The Constitution follows the flag. I think in the sense that the rights are human rights, then all humans should get them. But the civil rights in the US Constitution and amendments are, for the most part, meant to protect citizens from the

As an angel investor, always investing through a syndicate, it's just far easier to have the company pay the bill. But keep in mind that they're paying with the money that the investors give them, and that this is the EXPLICIT deal. When I

Going public saying "don't work with these funds" and then telling them you'll take them off the s!!t list when they share their private data with you sounds an awful lot like what in other walks of life people would call extortion. I have

I was the first investor in Simple. I can't speak for all the investors, but for me this was an investment in making the world a better place. When Josh proposed the idea to me I asked a few people about their experiences with their banks.

I agree that in a world where banks try their hardest to screw their customers, people should know how banks work. But a better world would be one where people don't need to worry about how their bank might screw them because their bank is

I think, when you say that banking is simple to the moderately educated, you're objectively wrong. Banking regularly comes out as one of the bottom few industries in reputation and one of the top few industries in customer complaints. A hug

Yes. Yes I do. I put my money into a bank and take it out when I want to spend it. I look at my statement to see where I spent it. It's simple. There is absolutely nothing else I want a bank to do for me. I do want a clean and useful mobile
