Name the person or retract the bullshit guess. How do you know it wasn't just the old story of "it may hurt our company image" from someone who doesn't fit your strawman?
There are also times when its correctly applied, like at Oberlin where the cafeteria was protested because the "Chinese" food was inauthentic
That's just a quality complaint at a school FFS! That's scraping so far into the barrel that it was not worth your time.
This may clarify why it was a big deal to someone - say your "Authentic American" hot dog came with a good amount of hot English mustard instead of the sugar loaded incredibly mild American mustard. While a lot of people would like it some of those who expected the food to be as described would consider it inedible.
It has nothing to do with SJW, MRA or any of the other strawmen, it was just a food description/quality issue. File it with how wrong it would be to serve "kosher pork chops" if you still don't get it. What's on the label should be what it is.
I would guess someone in middle management that decided they needed a "stake" in Cortana and suggested that corporate image issues may result from people playing with a bot that way. Thus probably just a pathetic attempt to be noticed and climb the ladder. That sort of shit is why I prefer working for a smaller place instead of a large company where what seems like a large number of people do nothing but attend meetings.
or isolate them completely and give them nothing, and let revolution eventually happen?
Long before revolution there will be a lot of explosions in South Korea and Japan. Remember that generations have been brainwashed into thinking that all their troubles are due to the outside world. I talked to a lady that got out in 1959 (it was that or be executed for marrying a Chinese man) - NK was a scary place with deliberate isolation and is now a lot worse.
NK also hate the Chinese and blame them for an attempted coup over a decade back. They just hate the rest of the world more. China will trade with anyone, but have far less control over NK than people seem to imagine. That's not saying that China is sunshine and puppies but just pointing out that they don't have much of a handle on that rogue state either.
The technical side did as designed and the early adopters got a lot of people to build up the pyramid. Sadly it was never designed to be a solution, it was designed to look like a solution, hence the lack of features required for long term use.
One of the funny moments on this site was a series of posts in a range of articles by an MS fanboy that kept saying the MS stuff was superior to *nix due to the "run as" functionality. He didn't seem to know that *nix has had the entirely equivalent "su" since before the MS stuff even had usernames, he'd only heard the preaching of another fanboy about how wonderful the feature was and how MS had invented it. That summed up the attitude nicely.
If you use Office, you'll get the best service with an Exchange server
True, MS Outlook is very flaky at times doing normal email unless the server is in the same building. I've had to get users onto a VPN simply because MS Outlook does SSL so badly. Phones with 1/10 the CPU on congested networks perform better picking up mail than a fast machine with MS Outlook.
Mimecast, for example, allows automatic off-site archiving of all email
Which Sendmail could do with simple entries in the alias file long before MS Exchange even existed. It's about the only simple thing about Sendmail, but such things were core functions in other MTAs years ago.
It's a massive suite of stuff that people like to pretend is one program whenever comparisons are made. So if it performs worse than any other available MTA the excuse is "but can an MTA do this" when it's an entirely different part of the suite doing the job.
Exchange. The name itself is very good advice on what to do with it. A positive is it did lead to Volume Shadow Copy because there was no reliable way to back up MS Exchange files without stopping the services and not letting users open their mailboxes for the duration.
Seriously, you didn't see that coming from day one? The deflation was massive clue number one. An anonymous founder is massive clue number two. The ponzi is shiny and techno but it's only the surface part of the stuff in cryptonomicon etc and not indicative of any goods, services or property behind it. There is no promise of value at all, merely a shiny distraction baited for geek. Good article though, showing that even the smoke and mirrors are substandard at this point.
Obviously so much more of a professional financial services company than MTGOX (Magic The Gathering Online eXchange):) If this bitcoin stuff was in a novel the editor would throw that part of the plot out due to the characters getting fooled again.
Yes a lot of people thought of that pre-2000 and a lot of effort went into doing something like you describe. The banks actively opposed it and no workable end-run around the banks has been found yet.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes.
Here is one that is current:

It's not even that. MS probably just don't want youtube videos out there of funny sexually charged Cortana conversations.
Very simple. It's a company image thing, probably included by someone who wanted to have "meaningful input" into another persons design at a guess.

Tell that to the doctor with the long rubber gloves.
It's neither good, yours or an AI. It's a Microsoft thing and they think what it says reflects on them. They do not want you to have control of it.

There are also solid solutions.
Mind boggling maybe but what your high school suggested was liquid only is not always the case.

Already happened.
NK is a crazy guy on the street with a sign "will threaten for food".
NK also hate the Chinese and blame them for an attempted coup over a decade back. They just hate the rest of the world more.

Are you winding me up? How hard is it to stick it in your pocket then go to sleep?

Yes. See as an example the original Nintendo DS with a custom ARM CPU that was some way back from the cutting edge.
Accelerometers do the job.

Tired, so took it seriously and stupidly replied before reading the last line.
You got me big time.

Doesn't the blockchain list the previous transactions? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that make it the least anonymous currency on the planet?
