Maybe they know something that you don't or it's just a glitch.

I'm not sure why you'd want to start using an OS without running the latest revision.

I've been newly doing a lot more front-end development and I've been sort of impressed by the autocomplete. You start typing the name you want to import and it autocompletes the name and module that it comes from. That actuall

Libraries are a great way to manage separation of concerns. Any dependency you add has to be explicit. There's nothing stopping you from adding that dependency but you can't just do it accidentally. The graph of dependencies bet

Nobody has argued that this feature doesn't work. In fact, it probably works really well which is why Microsoft has been pushing it so hard.

This is a pretty insightful comment. That's exactly how it feels. The core of their technologies have never been more solid, including Windows. But then on top of that solid core is a bunch of "move fast and break things"

I would think calm and casual support is probably the best way to deescalate.

This makes the assumption that the emotional level of the caller matches the severity of the issue but I don't think that is often the case.

I don't think it makes sense to base your opinion on videos when you could simply use the product yourself and get first-hand experience. I've come full circle on it. First I thought it was totally amazing, then I pushed it hard

It doesn't sound like they're going to have significant problems adding more security to this product. For advanced as it sounds, it's not that complicated of a technology. It's just plugging together a bunch of existi

Maybe security oversight happens later in the process. No need to bother with that if the feature doesn't even work.

Microsoft is a big organization with different teams. It wouldn't surprise me if this front-end AI team didn't consider the larger security implications -- having it stored in your profile probably seemed sufficient. It's t

HN is a weird place. 95% of the world runs on Microsoft technology to some degree. (95% also runs on Linux to some degree as well)

That's old information. This is how Microsoft is intending to change Recall based on these criticisms: Microsoft will also require Windows Hello to enable Recall, so you’ll either authenticate with your face, fingerprint, or using a P

This is all moot anyway because Microsoft has already said they are now going to encrypt everything behind Windows Hello making it as secure as my password manager.

I think it also requires something that limits competition. Because if their margins are too high, some competitor should be able to come in and deal with that. That's one of the underlying principles of capitalism.

You seem to have my point backwards. It's not that SQL is substantially better than QUEL, it's that QUEL was not substantially better than SQL. Ultimately, what made Postgres interesting wasn't the query language. > a di

I disagree. If JavaScript was objectively limited, one of the browser makers would have just added something else and if it was good enough it would spread to others. Just like other browser technologies (for example, xmlHttpRequest). In
