Quit trying to time your studies around US election dates and we'll all be better off. (E.g. many informed people already mostly ignore employment and GCP numbers because they always expect significant corrections to the just-announced figures just around the corner.)

I'm still surprised that people part with their money to acquire these devices; you'd think you'd get a $100 break on your federal income taxes or something for installing a free one considering how they get used.

Clearly we must invade. If only we could find someone with skill in mass media to develop a propaganda campaign.
Epic is less of a "software package" than it is a "consulting gravy train". The idea is to show a demo of something that might work, then ship out an army of right-out-of-college consultants to script up a custom-to-the-customer solution that blows out the budget and extends the time on the clock.
Had a family member recently try to get a tricky condition diagnosed and dealt with a lot of secondary specialists. He came out of that experience with a new dislike of the stream of uninterested physicians he was referred to.
I've been around a lot of corporations but I can't think of any that kept one guy on with limited IT skills but decent English grammar doing end user tech support for 30 years. I think this post is as fake as an article in GQ.
I'd believe the Crystal City over everything else. That's where a lot of big government/defense deals go down, and Amazon is probably just giggling to itself after some Google employees decided to stage antiwar demonstrations over the past few months. (Heck, if I was Amazon, I might be paying my competitor's employees to act up.) The GCP and Microsoft Azure cloud platforms are for real (unlike, say, Oracle/IBM "clouds") and both work better in many instances than Amazon's, but if Amazon can lock itself in as the first provider of federal cloud services (and just maybe let them look at peoples' purchase history once in a while) then it's smiling all the way to the bank.
>> Is Data Science For All the New Computer Science?
Sure, change the name if it helps you attract funding and place graduates. I've been doing what we currently call "big data" or "data science" since the mid-nineties...and that was with a comp sci degree...issued by a math department.
I hope they do a full refresh at least once a month, otherwise, their pictures of my green grass or leafy trees aren't going to match seasonal reality. If accuracy is a serious goal, that is.

>> $10k for 1000 employees
Thanks, that's enough for a buritto at a shitty chain like Chipotle minus drink out here in the sticks. I'll bet $10 goes even further in Silicon Valley.
Now this sounds like a fun AI voice challenge: something to weed out the protesting trolls and drop them into queues where they think they're tying up the lines, while allowing people who really have a complaint through, using a mix of incoming phone number, question/response with caller and perhaps other input. Same thing with tips.

If that's an undetectable problem in your organization, then you've got other issues.

If you express yourself with words like "gonna", please don't vote.

And bring a check. A very big check. That way the dean might take some of what you say seriously.

Seems rather pollyannaish to be looking at capsule and personnel recovery with a skeleton crew. These things don't always go swimmingly, e.g.,

So when your "Level 5" car starts driving on the wrong side of the road and complaining about all the fake injuries in "football", you'll know why.
