I hope it's because I have small simple email and not because they want to steal it.

so maybe that's the reason they chose it. They just designed a new iteration in 2024, so maybe they don't expect much change for a while.

it could be less economical, so Apple has to innovate to be competitive on pricing - with automation, robots, etc.

But I assume the people who get the mail are trained to see if the envelope contains ideas to stop reading and return the mail with the canned lawyer response.

I got a rejection letter once from a company I submitted my resume to (online) and I still remember that and in a positive light even though it was a rejection.

Now they just ghost you even if you went through 5 rounds of interviews and spend a bunch of your time.

Plus for many years Word was one of the main cash cows for MS, so they didn't want to make an editor that would take away from Word.

And you could see how adding new things adds vulnerabilities. In this case they added ability to see/render markdown and with markdown they render links, which in this case allowed executing remote code when user clicks on a link.

AI related things, one drive (this could be one of the reasons file browser is slow), widgets on the screen like news and weather, some other optional/not needed things.

They added a lot of not needed crap to File Manager. I think it's almost better to install a third party one.

In US almost anything could be discussed - usually only unlawful things are censored by government.

Private entities might have their own policies, but government censorship is fairly small.

The way Claude did it triggered the ban - i.e. it used all caps which apparently triggers some kind of internal alert, Anthropic probably has some safeguards to prevent hacking/prompt injection and what the first Claude did to CLAUDE.md triggered this safeguard.

And it doesn't look like it was a proper use of the safeguard, they banned for no good reason.

Wikipedia is uneven, some popular topics are well covered and have good info, others are outdated, biased, often written by one person with agenda.

From what I understood they were to read our data and provide some kind of insights. I don't think any of this happened, at least while I was there.

They talk about government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) - it's most likely the reason the company got into this contract, so Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac get some kind of data that they need in their systems.

But yeah, for a lot of implementations you don't need streaming. But for pull based apps you design your architecture differently, some things are a lot easier than it is with DB, some things are harder.

Some companies like Amazon buy companies and let them run almost independently - IMDB for example, Zappos, Twitch, Whole Foods, Zoox, Audible.
