Amazon SageMaker announces a new set of capabilities that will enable interactive Spark based data processing from SageMaker Studio Notebooks. Amazon SageMaker Studio is the first fully integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML). SageMaker Studio provides a single, web-based visual interface where you can perform all ML development steps required to prepare data, as well as build, train, and deploy models. With a single click, data scientists and developers can quickly spin up Studio Notebooks to interactively explore datasets and build ML models.

You have to work longer to escape poverty in the USA than anywhere else in the world, says the OECD. Even though most of the states in the U.S. have passed their own minimum wage laws, the federal minimum wage remains unchanged at 7.25 U.S. dollars since July 2009. Taking this into consideration, it’s no …
