Leading our day, High Scalability has a post on which  cloud service to use based on your requirements, like throughput or latency. It is an interesting perspective on the services, especially because most posts focus on cost. Wired reports on researchers who found a zero-day exploit based on the hacking team’s leak. For people looking to get into data science or machine learning, KD Nuggets has a nice post on scikit-learn and python stack tutorials, where you can find how to implement a classifier.

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