Ha, you're the guy behind Pond (hi!). As a security researcher, how does it feel to work for a company that (reportedly) (pro)actively collaborates with the NSA? Are you ever worried that the company might not be as ethical as it seems to the average Googler?

puts on tinfoil hat

edit: Thank you for the downvote[s]!

edit2: I just remembered a relevant example. Reading "How Google works", I clicked in many ways with their vision about smart creatives and how to run a company properly. However I then immediately realised that it's written by the same a-hole involved in the massive Google-Apple wage fixing scandal [0], and it made me question how much of what's in there is real.

agl is one of a handful of people who are moving the needle on HTTPS usage, pretty much through sheer force of will. So of all the people you could pick on, you made a really lousy choice.

My questions were genuine, I am honestly interested in his or HN's opinion.

I would not go that far, but it is funny how this was written after I suggested in HN comments that they do an apology letter to settle the scandal.
