1. BBC investigates sexualised child pictures on Facebook. Facebook leaves 80% up and reports journalists to police!

Image caption Some group members used an acronym to refer to child porn Facebook rules forbid convicted sex offenders from having accounts.

Media captionFormer Facebook executive Elizabeth Linder warns against site becoming a state I have been very disturbed by what I have seen very disappointed that one year on we are still seeing images that are very sexualised totally in my view unacceptable she said.

The social network director of policy Simon Milner agreed to be interviewed last week on condition the BBC provided examples of the material that it had reported but had not been removed by moderators.

3. Confluence that feeds Cambridge mythos: Liberals don’t want to believe Trump alone beat them; CA wants the credit.

Stephen Bannon President senior White House counselor has served as a Cambridge corporate Damon New York Times Drawn to America parent company the Strategic Communication Laboratories Group has a long record of trying to understand and influence behavior.

Mercer and his daughter Rebekah presided over a growing political empire that included millions of dollars in contributions to conservative groups and a stake in Breitbart whose nationalist and racially antagonistic content prefigured presidential campaign.

Mercer has never spoken publicly about his policy views in depth but his giving is eclectic He has financed documentaries media watchdogs libertarian think tanks and both Senator Ted Cruz a religious conservative and Trump a nationalist.

4. Good @CaseyNewton on Twitch’s new Twitter clone. The idea of another company creating a better Twitter intrigues me

Whenever I wonder what will eventually happen to Twitter which is something I think about literally every day I remember this Jessica Livingston tweet from September.

On Pulse which is rolling out to all users over the next few weeks broadcasters can post to their friends and followers with a mix of text links images and videos.

Top Twitch streamers all have over million followers apiece and easy to imagine them turning to Pulse to grow their audiences and keep them entertained while not broadcasting.

5. Lawsuit causes a stir, but Google-Uber relationship was tense from the start, sources say. Story w @heathersomervil

The lawsuit filed by car unit Waymo has jolted the and highly competitive industry that has sprung up around autonomous vehicles and ride services which are seen as the future of private road transport.

Anthony Levandowski a key engineering manager at the car unit now called Waymo began to talk openly about leaving the company as the autonomous vehicle field blossomed according to Alphabet lawsuit.

In the lawsuit Alphabet alleges Levandowski downloaded proprietary design documents and used them to create Otto and later Uber version of a key autonomous vehicle technology called Lidar which uses light pulses reflected off objects to gauge their position.

6. ML: “people that know what they’re doing just use open source, & people that don’t won’t get anything to work, ever”

Deep learning is not a different thing its just a cool body of work yielding state of the art results for lots of important problems and so people are rightly availing themselves of it.

As this becomes more evident over the next months and the bigcos exhaust and ramp down their appetite for AI acquihires just as they did for mobile app dev shops I suspect that we start to see potential founders and VCs realize that something is off.

Cloud providers will leave the services on but they be big money makers the MLaaS startups will start meeting their demise this year as growth goes sideways and appetite to double down on them dries up.

7. Following the philosophy that more is more, @hpe acquires @nimblestorage just after closing @simplivitycorp!

ET Hewlett Packard Enterprise said Tuesday it agreed to acquire Nimble Storage for about billion in cash aiming to ignite sales in its declining storage business.

The deal also calls for HP Enterprise to assume or pay out unvested equity awards with a value of about million at closing.

The cash amount is about a premium to roughly million market value as of close of trading.

8. If it wasn’t tragic, this paragraph would just be hysterical…

9. This is why I spend so much time monitoring the Trump subreddit.

This afternoon the image was tweeted by President Trump with the caption should start an immediate investigation into SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin.

The image is an AP photograph from September which appeared in newspapers after Putin visited the first New York gas station of the Russian company Lukoil.

However before it was tweeted by Trump on Friday the image gained popularity the previous night on Reddit and across the fringes of the conservative internet.
