Seems like the company should not opt to divulge that information then.

sophacles Feb 18, 2010 View on HN

They won't tell us that, because of privacy concerns :P

I think he meant that they don't reveal that information to the public.

cpncrunch Jul 16, 2015 View on HN

Well there is nothing publicly disclosed as far as I can tell.

It seems unlikely that they would be able to share that information publicly, even if they did have it.

make3 Feb 14, 2023 View on HN

you're not presenting them to the public when they're asking something relating to that fact though

That sort of thing is usually under non-disclosure.

sumedh Aug 15, 2020 View on HN

Maybe the source(s) want to remain confidential?

emiliobumachar Sep 28, 2014 View on HN

Presumably they kept it out of the press releases. What's "in the open"?

Yes, I think so. There's not much public information, perhaps on purpose.
