It was a fairly slow news day yesterday, so today highlight some different articles. First, KD Nuggets gives us two good lists to review. The first is a set of 9 must-have datasets for recommender systems. The other is a list of 21 must-know data science interview questions. Amazon RDS gets an update with shared encrypted snapshots and encrypting existing instances. On datawire, they talk about why Amazon AWS Lambda is not ready for prime time.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
