I don't get it.

  You aren't the only one. And since I can't comment on the page's content, I'll just comment on the web design. Why would someone go through the extra effort to remove the scrollbar on a webpage that doesn't fit on the screen?

  pedantic digression alert: I think I need to go on a one man adventure to correct English, and French and German speakers could help, because titles like these catch my eye. it should say "What if Palantir's logo _were_ square?" because it's subjunctive, as in the verb mood referring to an alternate possible reality, not factual reality. I think it's worth mentioning this for the simple reason that English collapsed various grammatical hints at semantics (as did Swedish/Norwegian/Danish) in contrast to how things were more tediously layed out 1000 years ago, but French still has subjunctive as does English as does German, so use the opcodes because they're available, I propose. btw I think Poles/Czechs/etc see Russian similarly as having collapsed grammatical distinctions.
