China—A Manufacturing Chimera?

New analyses of better trade data suggest China should not be our greatest competitive worry.

Most mainstream commentators share a short lineup of suspects when they discuss the decline of American manufacturing.  Popular culprits range from automation to skills shortages to offshoring. Yet China has increasingly become public enemy No. 1.

Rethink Education: a startup’s crusade to revolutionise the way we learn.

Based in South Africa, Douglas Hoernle, went from working in the Cape’s wine industry to the edtech space when he co-founded the startup Rethink Education. He says that his family always had a passion for education and that he was looking to do something with a greater, lasting social impact than what the fine arts of the wine industry has to offer.

He looked at one of the fathers of modern elearning for inspiration — Salman Khan — who’s the founder of the incredibly popular Khan Academy, a non-profit online education platform. His company has served as a popular muse for current startups in the edtech space.

Former spy launches startup aimed at building an ‘immune system’ for networks.

Former British spy Andrew France has emerged from the shadows and wants to crawl inside your network.

His firm, Darktrace, has a novel virtual security solution based on Bayesian probability theory, a complex mathematical concept developed at Cambridge University two and a half centuries ago.

France, a no-nonsense Englishman, recently left Britain’s spy agency, GCHQ, after a distinguished 30-year career. He was the agency’s deputy director for cyber defense operations. That gave him a ringside seat to the most complex and deadly hack attacks on the planet. He’s now the chief executive of Darktrace.

Apixio’s $13.5M round shows the growing importance of big data in health care.

Medicare rolls are swelling and the Affordable Care Act is bringing more people under the umbrella of insurance coverage. As a result, medical groups and health plans have an ever-more pressing need to predict the costs of care.

San Mateo, Calif.-based Apixio wants to fill that need by crunching a lot of existing clinical data, providing healthcare organizations with the intel they need to accurately estimate patient risk. That enables providers to more accurately (and profitably) bill for their services.

Apixio says it uses natural language processing and machine learning to make sense of a mountain of unstructured data.

Bioenergy push needs land ‘three times the size of the UK’

A planned doubling in Europe’s use of crops and wood for fuel, transport and heating by 2030 will leave a 70.2 million hectares (Mha) land footprint, equivalent to the combined size of Poland and Sweden, according to a new report by the Vienna University.  

In 2010, the global footprint from EU bioenergy demand equalled the total land area of a country the size of Sweden, says the paper ‘A calculation of the EU bioenergy land footprint’.
