Alphabet Inc's Google said on Wednesday it will ban advertisements for cryptocurrencies and related content starting in June. Under the new policy, the company will ban ads for unregulated or speculative financial products like binary options, cryptocurrency and financial spread betting among others. http://bit.ly/2Inxgg8

In a separate blog post, Google said it took down 3.2 billion ads that violated its advertising policies in 2017, nearly double the number of ads it removed in 2016. "Improving the ads experience across the web, whether that's removing harmful ads or intrusive ads, will continue to be a top priority for us," Scott Spencer, director of sustainable ads, said. http://bit.ly/2IoTXQQ
In January, Facebook Inc said it will ban ads promoting financial products and services tied to cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings. The policy will be implemented across its platforms, including Facebook, Audience Network and Instagram, the company said.
Google also celebrated Pi day today with a doodle of an apple pie where a mathematical calculation explaining the value of pi was shared.
For those who don’t remember, Pi is the one of the values used in geometry to calculate the area or circumference of circles, semicircles, cones, spheres and hemispheres. Our textbooks give us a standard value of 3.14, but the nerds in us while dividing 22 /7 try and memorise at least up to five digits in order to sound cool. Some people actually say that they know up to the sixth place, and then show off to us by rattling out 3.142857. For the record, this author went to the calculator to see what the value is.
In 1988, physicist Larry Shaw first found the constant Pi which is often the most used constant in many various fields of mathematics, especially in geometry. In geometry, pie plays an important constant in finding out the area of a circle.
It is a ratio between the perimeter of the circle and diameter of the same circle. The result comes out to be 3.14 which can extend to quite a few decimal places as mathematicians say that the divisibility continues to trillions. Therefore, it is an irrational number which is less than infinity. Though modern mathematicians have calculated more than one TRILLION decimal places beyond the standard “3.14,” pi is an irrational number that continues on to infinity.
Google has also added the recipe of caramel apple pie in the Google doodle blog post for those who want to try the dish. Dubbed Pi Day, this comes right after Google recognised William Henry Perkins who had first discovered a synthetic purple coloured dye used in clothing and painting.
