New Tools for Old Problems

Two major thoughts here: Have you seen the Azure ML workspace? It makes doing machine learning easier than setting up Matlab. There are other machine learning services hosted by cloud providers, but this one can go from no coding required by dragging boxes and drawing lines all the way to an integrated environment for Python and R. This just blows my mind. I thought that Matlab was going to be the easiest way to set these sorts of things up, but this just makes it stupid simple.
