Microsoft being the cool guys? The cool guys? Mwuhahahhaa.
This gave me the good belly laugh I needed.
For the last 25 years, Microsoft was known for:
- being the no. 1 enemy of free software
- shipping the worst web browser in existence, despite 80%+ market share
- making corrupt deals with governments around the world to tie them to their office software suite
- creating vendor-locked proprietary extensions to kill open technologies (ActiveX plugins, Silverlight, C++/CLI, MSJVM, etc.)
- making cringe hardware that basically noone purchased (Zune, Windows Phone)

The only thing worse than opening my laptop bag to find a hot, dead laptop a couple times a month is the inevitable response of: "Well, you must be doing it wrong, that doesn't happen to me!"
I was like wtf does the windows server has to it

> The example URL here, though, is still not (helpfully) bookmarkable because the contents of page 2 will change as new items are added.
Why is the content changing between refreshes not "(helpfully) bookmarkable"?
The HN front page (ie. "page 1") does that but it's a very useful bookmark.
Indeed, thats weird.
He probably wants to freeze the state of the page. Maybe he should consider saving it via ctrl s

How?
How will they know a short link to a random PDF on S3 is potentially sensitive info?

It will include many URLs that are semi-private, like Google Docs that are shared via link.
So exclude them
