Hacker News Reader

Couldn't this just be a coincidence? I'm sure there are many other headings whose initial letters would sum up to a phrase in some language (or otherwise transform into a message via some pattern).

Sounds a bit like the whole backmasking debacle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking

If it was real you'd think it would be a more obvious anagram, like NSA IS HERE.

Or maybe this was the dev who posted the warning and is pointing out he made it because of the NSA.

So the dev encoded a very private obscure message that the NSA is inside the project, and then very publicly explains what the message is and how to read it?

I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm.
