Why would people be happy to get text spam on their phone? Why do they sell out their clients so other companies can spam them?

That it is an opt out system says it all, no one wants your freaking spam! Leave us alone!

"Hi. Good news, as part of your T-Mobile plan you now get a free service called EE Recommends. It sends you special offers from other great brands via text. All messages are free to receive and reply to. For more info and full terms go to http://explore.ee.co.uk/offers. To opt out text STOP to 300000. Thanks."

The Cambridge Union Society is hosting a debate tomorrow together with +Versus. You can get free tickets (I think also for non-members) but you can also follow it here at +Google+

Maybe something also debate worthy for the +Science on Google+ people.

+UMC St Radboud took the brave step to be the first hospital in the Netherland that is publishing its results in curing #cancer and how this compares to the national averages. I think it is a great first step in understanding how well cancer treatment are in the different hospitals. Now just have to wait till the other hospitals start publishing similar data.

Will this mean that after the latest refresh of the normal Kindle and the updated Google Nexus range also Kindle will be upgrading theirs soon?

I have to say I'm impressed, 99 pound for a tablet like this…. The only question, is it any good?

About me

I am a Lead Data Scientist at Microsoft in the World-Wide Data Insights CTO office focusing on cloud solutions for the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge specialising in Big Data Biology while being based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).

In my previous "academic life", I was working in Ewan Birney's research group. My main subject was understanding non-coding variation using genome-wide molecular assays, like FAIRE and CTCF, onto Human cell line populations. Another research interest was identification of whole-body phenotypes in Human MRI scans using Machine Learning techniques.

Furthermore, I'm the co-founder of Rijschoolvergelijker. The largest driving school comparison website in the Netherlands with European ambitions.
