tldr: Investor lawsuit with private company Palantir. Title is misleading. Not very interesting article.
- tyingq 10y agoAgreed. The article also shoves Peter Thiel's name into the title for unknown reasons.
- jacquesm 10y agoIt's 'Thiel', and he's the chairman, so it's not like we don't know why that name is there.
- tyingq 10y agoHe isn't a particularly central figure in the story. It's there, I suppose, to leverage animosity.
- jacquesm 10y agoNo more than mentioning any other CEO in an article about their business would. What is it about Peter Thiel that you feel would raise animosity? It's just a statement of fact.
- tyingq 10y agoHe's not the CEO. >What is it about Peter Thiel that you feel would raise animosity? The article makes sure to highlight that for anyone that might have missed it :) " It’s well-positioned to cash in on more government work thanks to Thiel’s relationship with President Donald Trump." Edit: Mentioned, sure. In the article title when he's not central to the story? Click bait.
- jacquesm 10y agoNo, he's the chairman. Like John Thompson for MS and so on. Regardless, Thiel and Palantir are joined at the hip, so expect the one to be mentioned alongside the other without attributing it immediately to malicious intent.

- popcorncolonel 10y agoVery clickbait-y title.
- valuearb 10y agoThe patents/IP theft is the interesting part, which this story doesn't cover.
- dang 10y agoThanks for pointing this out. We changed the title to more specific language from the subtitle.
