Seth Godin starts our day with a post on the power of fear. As usual, it is an excellent post that you should read. KD Nuggets gives us some information on the best advice from Quora on “How to learn machine learning”. It is a solid summary of the Quora discussion with a bunch of useful links. VentureBeat reports on RedHat making an acquisition of Ansible. This is interesting because the major players in that space have stayed fairly independent, so keep an eye on this space to see if there is a frenzy of purchases. Lastly, my favorite feed reader, Feedly, announced that they have hit 60,000 pro subscribers and they give us some insight on where they are headed.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
