Scary how people can't see the technological differences between 1850 and 2017 - kinda like how climate change deniers never bring up the industrial revolution.

Question: How did the Microsoft Docs PM know about this thread on HN less than 30 minutes after it was submitted? Can you people seriously not see that this is just a preplanned PR…

Microsoft paying for upvotes again. A 'unified technical doc' site that isn't unified - as the Microsoft representative confirms below. Pointless.

How the hell does this story have so many upvotes? HN really needs to do something about Microsoft's vote manipulation - it's becoming quite blatant at this point.

It probably is - much like their Pokemon Go + Google Cloud article. When will HN readers that they are furthering corporate agendas when they upvote fluff like this?

It's because the 'problem' it solves is a corner case that's rarely encountered. I love their absurd examples of repos that take 12 hours to download. How many people have that pro…

Please reinstate the ban on political stories.

Not interested in politics - even if it's from Sam. Flagged.

Recruiters are salespeople. Treat them as such.

Wish you assholes would stop posting this political garbage. Need another ban on politics.

The other problem is that lots of people upvote without reading - or even skimming. Great title? I'll upvote it now and read it later. Maybe.

A story about some random dude's promotion to CTO is at the top of HN eh? Must be a slow day. Cool 'news'.

More corporate propaganda where they leave out the key details and don't address easy questions. Much like IBM's bullshit 25,000 jobs PR stunt this one has no substance besides the…

Hi Nate, tell us about your efforts to hire people over the age of 40.

Don't waste your time, it's PR bullshit: "“It’s a very powerful headline, and the timing certainly makes Trump look good,” The staffing up isn’t particularly surprising for a compa…

I think all AIs in my lifetime will simply be Chinese Rooms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

Do not include me in your pity party. America's governmental resources should be focused on American problems and not a civil war half way across the world. I don't care if you per…

Microsoft continues to try to convince us that they are great with press releases and non-organic stories such as this. I, my peers, and my co-workers just don't see it. With billi…

Oh boy a story where we can opine about how awful it was. Nothing will come of this pointless, off-topic story. Except a big old karma circle jerk.

Why are they allowed, period? Is the community OK with turning HN into Reddit-lite - because that's clearly what's happening based on the topics that get upvoted.

Thank God we got this new Google press release to the top of HN so we can all help them teach their AI for free.

Friendly reminder: Less than a year ago Steve Balmer himself called Microsoft's cloud numbers "bullshit" http://www.computerworld.com/article/3011662/cloud-computing...

Absolute marketing trash with almost zero technical value. If I linked an old style "HP Whitepaper about Success with Customer X" it would be downvoted to hell - but that's exactly…

Less and less. Too often comment chains devolve into nitpicking, pedantry, and into off-topic discussion where two people fight tooth and nail for Internet Points. From a technical…

On a related note, the FBI recently uncovered a $20m H1B fraud operations http://www.computerworld.com/article/3064712/h1b/us-uncovers...
