Leading the day is a post on ReadThink by the HubSpot CEO. It is an excellent look at how to manage things when dealing with the switch between pure startup and scaling a business. Tom Blomfield gives us a slightly humorous look at when to join a startup. Its’ target may be humor but there is a lot of truth about how startups work at the various stages. Yahoo Labs released the largest-ever machine learning dataset for researchers. It is near 15TB in size, so I doubt you will be downloading it to your laptop anytime soon 🙂

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
