in fact, seeing how your account was created to post that comment and seeing how it doesn't make sense, i would suspect that you actually work for them.

Everything he said makes perfect sense and I agree with it. A brief look at my HN profile should tell you I don't work for them. (Never heard of them before in fact.)

I think that you are practicing cargo cult security -- you're doing a cargo dance here over password storage mechanisms in a case where it doesn't apply.

I don't post on HN often, and forgot the username I used last time I posted. I don't work for them.

Personally, I don't see a strong use-case for the product and it wouldn't be something I'd be interested in.

If I did work for them, I would happily mention it in a post.
