TechCrunch leads the day reporting on a new type of metallic glue that can replace solder, MesoGlue. This is really interesting because it has the potential to change the electronic hobbyist industry and potentially more. High Scalability gives us a very nice introduction to scaling to 11M+ users on Amazon AWS. Not surprisingly, there is a lot that goes into that kind of scale. KD nuggets has a good post on the 7 steps to understanding deep learning. Granted it is not a very deep article, but it does show what you need to know.
