TechCrunch leads the day with a very cool article about biometric tattoos. Disappointingly, the first applications sound like they will be military in nature, but the idea could lead to some really interesting ideas. Yanir Seroussi has a very good post on the hardest parts of data science. Like many other posts I have shared, he reveals that the hard part is not some advanced algorithm. Lastly, Amazon AWS finally announces the availability of EC2 dedicated hosts. This has been something that most people using EC2 have been begging for.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
