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 problem, really?

All they did is create a caching layer.

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

Flagged.

Recruiters are salespeople. Treat them as such.

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.

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 empty words of a suit who will do anything to increase revenue.

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 company moving into multiple categories from groceries, hardware and video to fashion and cloud services. But the move could appease Trump, who tangled with Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos during the election campaign.
