Fijación de nitrógeno hace 3800 millones de años
Encuentran pruebas de que la fijación biológica del nitrógeno ya se daba hace 3800 millones de años. Como todos ya sabemos, es más fácil que fosilice un organismo con partes duras (huesos o conchas) que uno de cuerpo blando. Los casos en los que se da esto último son muy escasos y valiosos. Cuando nos remontamos a hace más de 600 millones de años la situación empeora, pues en esa época sólo había microorganismos, cuya fosilización es, cuanto menos, muy complicada. Es verdad que hay algunos casos frecuentes, como el de los estromatolitos, pero el resto es muy escaso en el registro fósil pese a que hablamos de miles de millones años. Además, está la tectónica y la erosión que eliminan las rocas más antiguas. Si nos remontamos a los orígenes de la vida en la Tierra la situación es aún más complicada, pues estamos hablando de hace más 3700 millones de años…

Google Explores Use Of Machine Learning To Detect Diabetic Eye Disease
Researchers from the company this week published a paper describing a new deep learning algorithm for detecting signs of diabetic retinopathy. Google is hoping to apply its machine learning expertise to help doctors identify patients at risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) early enough in the disease cycle to be able to treat them effectively. Researchers from the company this week published a paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) describing a deep learning algorithm for interpreting early signs of DR from retinal photographs. The paper titled “Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Retinal Fundus Photographs” is based on data that Google researchers developed with help from doctors and researchers in various hospitals and universities in the U.S. and India…

Facebook Denies Researchers’ Claim Ransomware Spreading via Images
Researchers at Check Point Software Technologies allegedly find images spreading ransomware on social media sites, but Facebook calls their research “incorrect.” Researchers at security firm Check Point Software Technologies warned social media users that online criminals have begun using specially crafted image files to spread ransomware using a weakness in some social media services. The report, posted to the company’s website, came as attackers used Facebook and other services to spread images containing links to sites that would try to trick users into downloading the Locky ransomware. The company’s researchers claimed Nov. 24 that it had found an additional infrastructure weakness in some social media services that allowed the attack to be more effective…

Anonymous released from prison
Barrett Brown served more than four years behind bars for sharing stolen data. Barrett, 35, originally attracted the attention of law enforcement officials in 2011 when he copied a hyperlink to data stolen in a hack of security think tank Strategic Forecasting, or Stratfor, from one Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel to another. The hack reportedly yielded 200 gigabytes of data, including emails and credit card information from Stratfor clients, which include the US Army, US Air Force and Miami Police Department. The case against Brown, whose previous journalism experience included writing for such media outlets as The Guardian, Vanity Fair and Huffington Post, was closely followed by journalists, civil-liberties activists and internet activists who worried the case could infringe on freedom of the press by criminalizing the act of linking on the internet…
