rkjbnzon Tell HN: Bitcasa is leaking your emails

Im more worried why they are using my password in hidden form fields in the clear on signup.

It seems after the initial signup the server responds with with the question/answer form and pre-populates hidden fields with my entered password in the clear, which kind of make me wonder how my password is stored. Im hoping my password isn't stored like this and they are just passing it back as a response param, or perhaps the initial signup isn't hitting the server at all??

rkjbnzon Ask HN: Are tech companies becoming more unrealistic in hiring?

They are unrealistic and its been this way for a while. A lot of companies over rate themselves, they want the best and brightest but if the candidate is too good they won't stay at an inferior company anyway so depending on the position someone with less education or experience but is a good learner would probably be just as good if not better.
