Comment on Applebot, the web crawler for Appleparent

Comments

It's not clear-cut, that's for sure. I just wanted to post a different perspective.

Thing is, if you asked the sender for permission to post pieces of their email, they'd probably say no. It seems a bit gauche to say posting is okay because "nobody told me not to."

It's a good point and since journalists are already asking about it, I now wish I hadn't even posted it. I think Apple is not trying to hide the fact that they are looking for search and machine learning people, but the press will surely get it wrong trying to triangulate a vague one-liner from a recruiting email.
