If NYC wants to attract the next Google, they should start by repealing the outmoded regulations and firing the bureaucrats (like Kathleen Willey) that ban 23andMe (from the wife of Google) from doing business in the state.

23andMe has a lot of privacy concerns, especially long term (the TLDR is: what happens to all their data if they get acquired?). I don't know much about Kathleen Willey, but NYC is doing a huge amount right now to promote tech in the city (Big Apps competition, open data etc.).

What do you mean by "from the wife of Google"?

One of the two founders is married to Sergey Brin, plus Google has invested in the company
