oooh duodecacorn :-)

Palintir is one of those companies that strikes me as one that really never goes public. If someone ever built The Machine, I would expect it to be them.

If it's unlikely that they'll go public, how do the investors hope to get their money (and more) back? I know there are other ways, but I don't have a feel for which kinds of arrangements would really be likely.

After all these years, I'm still not really sure what Palantir does exactly.

My roommate interned there, and still had little idea what they do.

Is this real or an honest typo?

Just a typo. That position pays 100-150K + equity.
