You're far better off having a million new young workers than having a million undocumented young people hidden in the shadow economy. They were already there. Flicking a switch and turning them into participants in the economy and society at large is a positive move.

they were already there? they came in the last 3 years. and who let them in? and what is being done to prevent another illegal million from arriving

Please only worry about the USA. That's enough insanity the world can handle at a time.

“offensively trivializing those who died in the Holocaust” - calling someone nazi or fascist is not trivializing Holocaust. These are clear terms and both Palantir and Karp often publish texts with fascist ideological elements and views. Read something they published like Technological republic. They are not hiding it. It's not even some radical view.

You're moving the goalposts. The original poster wrote that Palantir is on par with the Nazis. (Typos notwithstanding.) That's what I'm responding to. And yes, it is offensive and trivializing to the millions that were murdered to suggest that that their murderers were on the same moral footing as a modern government software consultancy. (The views that you read into some of their executives are, in fact, not equiva…

So you are saying that using term nazi or fascist can be used only for people that do holocaust and more. Okay so I guess we shall just wait and see?

What the CEO says and writes in their book to promote the company suddenly doesn't matter? Palantir is suddenly just some run of the mill software consultancy? Their founders/CEO meddling in politics I assume also doesn't count?

Seems like somebody has lot of $$$ in PLTR

This section is hilariously hostile towards Palantir. "Wired wrote that some people think Palantir "maintains a giant, centralized database of information collected from all of its clients", which is untrue." 'some people' is a classic weasel word[0] used to prop up the writer's opinion. This sentence is even funnier because it initially appears to state that Palantir has a centralized DB of clients data, only to fin…

Here's an easy one: Their CEO is a megalomaniac who brags about "killing people"[0] and can't string together coherent sentences on live television[1]. Did I mention it's backed by Peter Thiel who is openly and actively trying to tear down the world's oldest constitutional democracy in favor of a technocratic oligarchy[2]?

And you believe the State of Spain decided to blacklist Palentir for these reasons ? Because that was the original question of the person you are replying to.

The two capitals (Santa Cruz and Las Palmas) are pretty good spot to live in. Tourism focuses on the south on both islands. Las Palmas has a beach with a bit touristic activity, but its not drinking tourism like Mallorca or Benidorm. Combined with nice weather all year round overall a greaet place to live. Very walkable cities, you can do without a car. Due to nice weather, you can always go by bike or scooter. Taxis…

There's very little decent work though. If you live there you're either fully remote which is rare these days, or you work in the tourist industry.

Yes, you must bring your remote job unless you want to work for less-than minimum wage in a restaurant.

so.. hand over your data to china to spite orange man. yes excellent move.

It’s not spite it’s just logical - US/Israel are a known bad actor. China is also probably bad, but currently there’s no evidence they’re as bad as US/Israel

China is supplying Russia, which is attacking an European country.

Thus, from my POV that sentiment is BS.

China is an adversary in a panda costume.

This is pretty common in any country going through a populist phase, they go against the judicial, as is happening in the US

what are you even talking about.. embarrassment of a child

I'll simplify it for you, populists from left and right (Trump and Sanchez) main trick is blaming the elites for preventing the will of the people.

This usually puts them in conflict with the judiciary, that and the fact populist government are usually incredibly corrupt (also due to contempt of existing standards)

Much of Spain is indeed getting very unpleasant in the summer with climate change, but in the north there are still regions that are quite fine at the moment. Where I am, we recently beat the all time temperature record with 35 degrees, but that was a single day. Most days these weeks it isn't going over 25, and I don't think we hit 30 in June except for that single day and maybe one other day. The problem is that th…

The ceo of the company supports mass termination of people. It's pretty obvious to me. This is the type of company that build ways to achieve evil ideology

I still think it will be a coalition and not a full right government. How is the AC situation now is Spain? Has the country mass adopted AC in homes and offices?
