One Microsoft Way. It's not just the address of Microsoft HQ. "We're implementing logic that determines how often to show a nudge so as not to overwhelm users, but we don't let them permanently opt out of passkey invitations," explained Sangeeta Ranjit, group product manager, and Scott Bingham, principal product manager.
Having trouble keeping track of all those streaming subscriptions? Enjoy the irony of Netflix struggling to identify and understand the cost of its AWS estate. The post concludes by revealing Netflix's intention to "move towards proactive approaches via predictive analytics and ML for optimizing usage and detecting anomalies in cost."

Now, the company says it has officially ended that initiative.
