That being said nobody had a negative reaction until vox leaked it. It had been available for months.

I will also note it seemed to be those who have more tweets than minutes they have been alive that got the most upset about this memo.

I was really disappointed in the response by Google engineers. To this day I have yet to see a proper rebuttal that did not go out of it's way to misrepresent the original memo.

That is what makes me sad. That to this day people still quote things that were not in or even eluded to in the paper.

"And if we're worried about empathy, why don't we stop and think for a while about the people affected negatively by his memo?" I do. It's you who falsely assumes one can only do one thing.
