Google "doesn't like" bad publicity from people who make a stink about non-issues like this. That't my take away from such a post. I don't want to anyone to Pyongyang or anywhere else. Those who think that that hiring is the business of an irrelevant third party or that job candidacy based on any factor other than pure merit is a good thing, should examine how this practice is paralleled by practices of those regimes.

> Google "doesn't like" bad publicity from people who make a stink about non-issues like this. But the stink is entirely a result of Google voluntarily releasing the numbers and saying that they were disappointed with them and working to fix them, and pointing to things they were doing to fix them long before the released the numbers. If Google were really only concerned about the stink, they could have just not released the numbers, and would have no reason to have been working on corrective actions when they weren't releasing the numebrs. It really seems like you started from the conclusion that Google doesn't really care about diversity, and are desperately trying to twist the facts into that preconceived mental model.

  The article implies strongly against your argument. Google didn't want or care to do it, just that people who care about this silliness got in their face... "But public campaigns have stepped up the pressure — just this spring, Jesse Jackson visited Google’s shareholder meetings in Silicon Valley. Google officials told the NewsHour that the company had been “working toward disclosing this for the better part of the year” and said Google invited Jackson to its meeting last month where the company promised for the first time to release the numbers."
