Afraid? hardly. Fairly disgusted? for years now.
- samstave 6y agoExactly. I fucking dislike palantir, its a douchebag of a company
- Shivetya 6y agoWhy? For something they or their top level staff did or for the work they perform? If its for the work they perform they are just one of many. I do admit to not following them as a company. My concern is the government using this technology or similar within our borders without incredible oversight and regulation
- La1n 6y ago>If its for the work they perform they are just one of many. Sure, but that counts for almost anything you can use to like or dislike something or someone, so it's not really useful to bring up.
- x86_64Ubuntu 6y agoSo because other entities perform a similar subset of work means we can't be disgusted with Palantir?
- eternalsculptor 6y agoIt is regrettable that Hacker News has devolved into the sort of knee jerk outrage that you find on websites like Reddit.
- samstave 6y agoso you have an account that it 10 DAYS old, yet mine is 11 *YEARS* old and I should listen to the troll that is you???
- eternalsculptor 6y agoAge of account is irrelevant, I have been a lurker for a long time. HN used to be a place of civil conversation, not childish and infantile screams.
- anewaccount2021 6y agoWhy? They are a natural byproduct of America's desire to occupy Afghanistan in perpetuity...a policy that has survived for two decades over three Presidents and will surely be continued by Biden. You voted for this: in the last six months alone there was a concerted, bipartisan effort to shutdown legislation to draw down our commitment.
- ausbah 6y agohow can you meaningfully vote against something when like you said, it is a bipartisan effort? if it a constant, other variables are going to be what drives someone's reasons to vote
- anewaccount2021 6y agoIts merely an observation that we must all take responsibility for our national policies, which have created the need for companies like Palantir.
- redis_mlc 6y ago> You voted for this: in the last six months alone there was a concerted, bipartisan effort to shutdown legislation to draw down our commitment. Since you didn't spell it out, I will. Trump tried to reduce overseas forces. Everybody else opposed him. Often somebody isn't appreciated until he's gone.
