Inc.'s 11th annual 30 Under 30 list features the young founders taking on some of the world's biggest challenges. In 2013, a high-frequency trader named Michael Coscia was arrested in New Jersey for an activity called "spoofing"--essentially manipulating the market by flooding trading systems with future orders he had no intention of completing. He was fined 6 million--with the possibility of jail time. It was the first such prosecution under a new set of financial regulations from the 2010 banking reform law called the Dodd-Frank Act. That was an aha! moment for David Widerhorn, 28, and it became his reason for founding Neurensic.

MINDLER was founded in July, 2015 by Prateek Bhargava along with his mentor and career coach, Prikshit Dhanda. The organisation is based in Punjabi Bagh in New Delhi. MINDLER is a technology-enabled eco-system for career planning, development and mentoring for school students (class VIII-XII). The startup blends artificial intelligence and machine learning with strategic human interventions to help students and parents choose the best-suited career path. MINDLER's distinctive feature comes in the form of a 5 step assessment process - world's most advanced multi dimensional career assessment battery, algorithm driven semi-automated career planner & tracker and course correction mechanism.

Artificial intelligence, said United Nations chief information technology officer Atefeh Riazi, might be the last innovation humans create. "The next innovations," said the cabinet-level diplomat during a recent interview at her office at UN headquarters in New York, "will come through artificial intelligence." From then on, said Riazi, "it will be the AI innovating. We need to think about our role as technologists and we need to think about the ramifications--positive and negative--and we need to transform ourselves as innovators." Appointed by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as CITO and Assistant Secretary-General of the Office of Information and Communications Technology in 2013, Riazi is also an innovator in her own right in the global security community. Riazi was born in Iran, and is a veteran of the information technology industry. She has a degree in electrical engineering from Stony Brook University in New York, spent over 20 years working in IT roles in the public and private sectors, and was the New York City Housing Authority's Chief Information Officer from 2009 to 2013. She has also served as the executive director of CIOs Without Borders, a non-profit organization dedicated to using technology for the good of society--especially to support healthcare projects in the developing world.

Today on In Case You Missed It: Researchers from Seoul National University and UC Berkeley developed a robotic roach that jumps more than five feet high because people weren't scared enough of robots as it is. A team from Brigham Young University wants to figure out how hard you have to hit bacteria to kill it. And one enterprising maker spent more than two years building a fully functional Pong table -- complete with a cubical "ball."

Even though they questioned the value and consistency of infinitistic logic, Hilbert and his contemporaries did not wish to give up such abstractions--power tools of mathematical reasoning that in 1928 would enable the British philosopher and mathematician Frank Ramsey to chop up and color infinite sets at will. "No one shall expel us from the paradise which Cantor has created for us," Hilbert said in a 1925 lecture. He hoped to stay in Cantor's paradise and obtain proof that it stood on stable logical ground. Hilbert tasked mathematicians with proving that set theory and all of infinitistic mathematics is finitistically reducible, and therefore trustworthy. "We must know; we will know!" he said in a 1930 address in Königsberg--words later etched on his tomb.

You are how you drive, we learned this week, when researchers showed how your car's computer can identify you based on patterns in your driving techniques. And it doesn't take much data to do so. Information collected from a car's brake pedal alone let the researchers distinguish the correct driver nine times out of 10. Patterns, of a different sort, also played a role in a map researchers have created to track where government hackers around the world are spying on journalists, activists, lawyers, and NGOs. And speaking of surveillance--whistleblower Edward Snowden also popped up in a Vice episode this week to show you how to make your phone "go black" so it's harder to surveil.

Xiaomi, a company best-known for producing surprisingly affordable, high quality smartphones you can't buy in the US, has added to its roster a surprisingly affordable, (probably) high-quality drone--that you can't buy in the US. The Mi Drone has plenty of impressive specs, but the one that matters most is 460. That's roughly how much it will cost when it launches in China this July, and well under half of what you'd pay DJI for its ubiquitous Phantom 4. The Mi Drone quadcopter comes with a 4K camera that shoots at 30fps (you can also get a 1080p version for 380), a three-axis gimbal that corrects itself 2,000 times per second, and a remote control that uses a Xiaomi phone as a viewfinder. The Mi Drone's 5,100mAh battery promises nearly a half hour of flight time, and it uses GPS and GLOSNASS to ensure accurate positioning. It's got location-tracking in case you lose it.

Plus, how one journalist is handling the challenges of reporting on the drone war in northwest Pakistan. The world's largest social media network is also one of the biggest news platforms - so allegations of a bias towards liberal news issues has triggered a lot of scrutiny, both from outside and from within. This week we unpick how Facebook delivers the news to you and why it matters. Many journalists and writers have been tracking the Facebook story and its implications. For this report, we have spoken to: Zeynep Tufekci, assistant professor at the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina; Callum Borchers, media and politics reporter at The Washington Post; Will Oremus, technology reporter at Slate.com; and Kelly McBridge, media ethicist, The Poynter Institute.

HYDERABAD: At a time when most of the startups are focusing on solving fairly shallow problems, Avishkar, the start-up accelerator programme of International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H) on Friday took three companies under its wings to encourage entrepreneurs who are into solving deep-tech problems. Screened from about 140 applications across the world, the top three companies are all set to form the first batch of the six-month long programme. The selected startups will now work closely with the Avishkar team and the faculty members of IIIT-H labs and other partners over the next six months to get to a level of investment-readiness that will launch them to the next stage of their journey. "We are a four-month-old company trying to build a virtual personal stylist for women. Through our app, we want to offer all the services that a stylist offers to women. In other words, we want to create artificial intelligence (AI) of a personal stylist. The best part about Avishkar is that unlike many accelerators, the programmes here are personalised for each and every startup and would be helpful for us to grow faster," Komal Prajapati, founder, Fabulyst, said.

"There are ugly things that have to happen in order to make the enterprise work and play with the cloud," says David Linthicum, SVP of Cloud Technology Partners, a cloud consulting firm based in Boston, in a recent podcast. To help enterprises address these challenges, public cloud vendors need to place more of an emphasis on hybrid cloud. In this podcast, Linthicum and Sandeepan Banerjee, SVP of engineering and operations for container management company ClusterHQ and former Data Head at Google, discuss this topic, as well as new cloud technologies, such as containers and machine learning. Will public cloud vendors fill in container ecosystem gaps? Containers are one of several new cloud technologies making their way into the enterprise.
