Thanks to the great folks at PARAGONIE our open source platform (ie you can actually tell the code is always the same and you can host it yourself) also just passed an independent security audit:

I didn’t think it was worth it to post to HN as news, though. Perhaps I should start posting our achievements a bit more.

Like for example our Group Rides feature:

Maybe, but don't do it in someone else's thread trying to steal the spotlight from them... Really bad taste.

How am I stealing the spotlight from them? They are on the front page, whereas mine is just a comment that's relevant to it. They still have the spotlight, the link is still there and my comment only adds to the number of comments on the story.

If anything, the comments saying that they shouldn't be trusted, etc. harm them more than my comment.

Actually my comment should be: I don't think being audited by a third party firm is newsworthy, this is us being audited and we didn't post it.

PR is hard. Replies like the one you got are a hint that you need to learn a lot more than just "This right here that I thought was not really newsworthy is totally newsworthy."
