They didn't state they caused harm, they stated they apologize for "any" harm.
> it was hurtful to the community
Basically state "sorry to hurt your feelings", which I clearly pointed out in my comment. It's definitely not a "we are wrong" apology.
This has a vibe of "we couldn't have done it any other way, and we still feel it was better. Sorry that you don't agree"
Their letter of "apology" was already torn apart in the other thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26930056 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26930056
- staticassertion 6y agoWhat nonsense, they explicitly state they caused harm. "we now understand that it was hurtful to the > community to make it a subject of our research, and to waste its > effort reviewing these patches without its knowledge or permission." They EXPLICITLY state that they wasted community effort and explicitly, repeatedly acknowledge that they did things the wrong way.
