Palantir is one of the more overtly evil tech companies. Their CEO is the last person who should be talking about anyone losing their way. Although I agree, a culture that allows c…

I haven't seen evidence that such "banning and censoring" ever happened to any meaningful degree.

I guess we have the answer to the question "are we the baddies?"

If the funding is the issue, then we could just end that. That could be done without selling out Ukraine and rewarding Russia for invading neighboring nations. > it's obviously not…

Those engineers have chosen where their loyalty is. It may not be of their making, but they are eagerly supporting it.

Palantir is one of the entities that is working to destroy what's left of America's soul.

I think they have nothing but ill intent. Everything they've said and done so far just screams it.

I can speak about europe, but I don't think that that the US started on a serious downward trend until nationalism started rising. But let's say that the US was really on a downwar…

The US stopped caring about truth, justice, and basic humanity. Caring about people is not in the cards at all.

Isn't it funny, then, that when the Democrats had all three branches of government, the Republicans remained a reasonably effective opposition. The Democrats are failing at that, a…

And I trust any random person off the street far more than I trust Musk. I spend a great deal of effort trying to keep my data out of the hands of Musk and his crowd out of a sense…

No amount of gentrification would be able to hide the stain of ethnic cleansing.

So far, Trump has easily been the most pro-crime president in my lifetime. I weep for my country and the horrible years these people are bringing to us.

I hope not. The "veil of ignorance" (privacy) is one of the few ways people can protect themselves against being abused by companies.

It's ironic that this website has a large, annoying floating bar blocking a lot of the page, whose only purpose appears to be to hold one of those horrible hamburger menus. Physici…

Twitter is much worse than it used to be. Trump is certainly not reducing waste and corruption. He's reallocating the waste to better benefit his cronies, and he's filled the gover…
