Canon's New Camera Sees More In the Dark Than You Ever Thought Possible GIZMODO "The 'multi-purpose' camera, dubbed only MH20F-SH, has a full-frame sensor with 2.26 megapixels.

They never lost sight of making things that people would want." In Praise of Unfairness Benedict Evans "In case it isn't obvious by now, these charts are meant to be unfair - that's the point. Unfair but relevant comparisons are the most interesting and important kinds. An unfair comparison generally means an unfair advantage, and this isn't the Olympics - unfair is good."

Health Reading List - Startup Digest - July 31st - August 7th

Health Reading List July 31, 2015 Startup Highlight: Deep Genomics Everyone is excited about the potential of CRISPR, but in many ways we are still very naive to the possibilities that CRISPR has unlocked. Wouldn't it be great if we could some how simulate the outcomes of changes made to genes before we made those edits using CRISPR? Enter "Deep Genomics". In short the recent spin-off from the University of Toronto is creating, "a deep learning system that's able to digest a massive amount of genetic data has the potential to understand the impact of genetic mutations better than humans ever have."
