Even if the company suing you will have a tough time proving their case, they can still bury you in legal fees.

How are you quantifying wealth and power?

Per capita, Northern Virginia is already the wealthiest area in the United States. Amazon will probably nudge it a little further into the lead.

How is that creepy? It is normal to use someone's name to address them.

The Android app is still very frustrating to use.

That's right. Tons of contractors want to build into GovCloud as well, which will be exploding in the near future. They already have tons of data centers in Northern Virginia due to its proximity to ISPs and the federal government.

Yeah most will live in Virginia, where the offices will be, where the housing is cheaper, and where the public schools are better.

That's probably why AT&T has the upper-hand in this case. People can just stream HBO. This hurts rural customers who don't have reliable internet connections, though.

Just FYI, I think you commented to the wrong article by mistake.

I agree with you, but I think people (for better or worse) are using the two terms interchangeably in this thread.

I think the issue is that if you don't understand what a high-level language is doing under the hood, then you will constantly be surprised by side-effects. You shouldn't be using an ORM to substitute for your lack of understanding SQL; you should be using it to automate tasks.

People won't be leaving that field any time soon. There's already a massive shortage of data science talent in private industry, and adding demand from the government won't help. But with the government shelling out buckets of cash for programs with AI/ML, there will be even more demand, meaning contractors will need to lure in DS talent. People in DS will be making way too much money to want to leave the industry.
