  • Ebay Response to Carl Icahn
    February 24, 2014 eBay Inc. Responds to Carl Icahn's Feb. 24 Open Letter to Stockholders SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- New eBay shareholder Carl Icahn has cherry-picked old news clips and anecdotes out of context to attack the integrity of two of the most respected, accomplished and value-driven technology leaders in Silicon Valley. Marc Andreessen and Scott Cook bring extraordinary insight, expertise and leadership to eBay's board, which is scrupulous in its governance practices and fully transparent with regard to its directors' other affiliations and businesses. And eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe is widely respected for his turnaround of eBay and leadership of the company over the past six years. As we are sure our other shareholders would agree, we prefer to engage in more constructive and substantive discussions of why, in our view, PayPal and eBay are better together. Instead, Mr. Icahn unfortunately has resorted to mudslinging attacks against two impeccably qualified directors. Mr. Icahn has nominated two of his employees to eBay's board. As we have said, the board's nominating committee will review the nominations of his employees in due course. Even if our board does not support the nominations, ultimately shareholders will decide whether they believe Mr. Icahn's employees are better qualified than directors such as Mr. Cook (Mr. Andreessen is not up for re-election this year) to sit on the board of a leading technology company. The board has been clear in its view that shareholders are best served by keeping PayPal part of eBay. The board regularly assesses all strategic options for the company; should circumstances change the board is entirely capable of evaluating alternatives for optimizing shareholder value.

  • August 4, 2021 the Honorable Charles
    August 4, 2021 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader Republican Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Majority Leader Schumer and Minority Leader McConnell, We’re writing to express support for the bipartisan amendment to the infrastructure bill offered by Senator Wyden, Senator Lummis, and Senator Toomey. We share the Senators’ concern that the existing provision regarding the taxation of cryptocurrency transactions is overly broad and will sweep in non-intermediaries, such as network validators and software developers, and would stifle innovation by imposing what would be an unworkable reporting requirement on those groups. The infrastructure bill is too important to be left vulnerable to future legal challenges based on the text as currently written. This bipartisan amendment is the right solution to address these concerns in a simple way. As the leaders of the largest crypto venture fund, we are encouraged by the government’s recognition that this emerging sector is here to stay and is only growing. For diverse constituencies – from musicians, artists, and other creators to small business owners and those left out of the traditional financial system – there is so much untapped potential in crypto and blockchain. A proper regulatory strategy needs to reflect one important fact: crypto is not a monolith. The crypto universe extends far beyond its financial origins, encompassing artwork, community development, and new ways of forming organizations. These use cases will only continue to grow as whole new economies are built on decentralized protocols, much like the internet was built on top of protocols like TCP/IP.

  • “Decreasing World Suck”
    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

  • Marc Andreessen on Why Software Is Eating the World
    Why Software Is Eating The World By MARC ANDREESSEN This week, Hewlett-Packard (where I am on the board) announced that it is exploring jettisoning its struggling PC business in favor of investing more heavily in software, where it sees better potential for growth. Meanwhile, Google plans to buy up the cell- phone handset maker Motorola Mobility. Both moves surprised the tech world. But both moves are also in line with a trend I've observed, one that makes me optimistic about the future growth of the American and world economies, despite the recent tur- moil in the stock market. In short, software is eating the world. More than 10 years after the peak of the 1990s dot-com bubble, a dozen or so new Inter- net companies like Facebook and Twitter are sparking controversy in Silicon Valley, due to their rapidly growing private market valuations, and even the occasional successful IPO. With scars from the heyday of Webvan and Pets.com still fresh in the investor psy- che, people are asking, "Isn't this just a dangerous new bubble?" I, along with others, have been arguing the other side of the case. (I am co-founder and general partner of venture capital firm Andreessen-Horowitz, which has invested in Facebook, Groupon, Skype, Twitter, Zynga, and Foursquare, among others. I am also personally an investor in LinkedIn.) We believe that many of the prominent new Inter- net companies are building real, high-growth, high-margin, highly defensible business- es. Today's stock market actually hates technology, as shown by all-time low price/earn- ings ratios for major public technology companies.

  • 'Contagious' Media Killed Art Criticism
    State of the Culture, III: How ‘Contagious’ Media Killed Art Criticism The internet has radically changed the way we write about art —and what kind of art gets covered at all. Ben Davis, February 1, 2018 The height of mid-'00s internet culture: The "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" meme. Image courtesy Wikipedia. In parts one and two of this series, I looked at how a changing media environment was putting pressure on art institutions and artists, respectively, altering their relationship with the public at the same time. For my final installment, I’ve gathered my thoughts on my own little piece of this puzzle: the sphere of writing about art, and the evolving role of art criticism. From Micromedia Activist to Viral Media Entrepreneur These days, Jonah Peretti has achieved web-media guru status, having been a prime mover behind both HuffPost and Buzzfeed. There is a story to be told, however, about how this new wave of media was incubated within art, sprung from the side of “culture jamming” or “tactical media”—terms for lefty media-hacking stunts of the kind pioneered by the Yes Men. Jonah Peretti of Buzzfeed speaks onstage at the TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2013. Photo by Brian Ach/Getty Images for TechCrunch. In the ’90s, he had styled himself as a postmodern critic of the emergent commercialization of the web, looking to Marxist-psychoanalytic philosophy, queer theory, and appropriation art as strategies to “challenge capitalism and develop alternative collective identities.” Then in 2001, at grad school at MIT and ridi ng the energy of the anti-globalization movement, Peretti got his first taste of the limelight after attempting to subvert Nike’s sneaker customization se rvice, requesting a shoe emblazoned with the word “SWEATSHOP.” Nike declined.
