Its not conjecture. Here are the numbers from their S-1 which apparently you did not read: 1. "We generated $742.6 million in revenue in 2019" 2. "The total remaining deal value of the contracts that we had been awarded by

Palantir develops many of the tools which implies they’ve run them themselves also. For example, they have tools for scraping social media platforms to build profiles of people. You don’t build those tools without running them along the way

They’re a famously shadowy secretive spying company and nowhere do I see a terms of service that says they don’t collect data on me. They’ve previously discussed their tools for spying on Facebook and other “public” sites and it seems clear

Saying their early investor was the CIA isn’t exactly controversial. It’s cited in almost every article about the company. When something is that widely known, it’s usually not cited. But since you asked, here is an old article about it: h

Well yeah I agree it’s aspirational but just because they want to do security work for Apple doesn’t mean their current customer base isn’t governments. Their largest project is Palantir Gotham which is exclusively for government agencies (

This is a copycat move following Velodyne going public in a reverse merger with GRAF I think Velodyne will do better as they have a larger market share and the first mover advantage

Well sure they point to a theoretical market that’s big but it isn’t where their revenue comes from now > The company’s top three customers — which aren’t disclosed — together represented 28% of the company’s revenue for 2019. Its top tw

If your stock options were exercised, you now are a shareholder and you pay taxes in the state of residence at the time of sale. If you don’t live in California (for real) then they aren’t going to be able to tax you on the sale. RSUs with

Their early investors were the CIA. I know the point you’re trying to make but Palantir isn’t really in the gray when they have been basically a branch of the spy agencies since the beginning

They brag repeatedly about their “data collection” methods although of course details are hard to find. I’m not convinced they just make the tool and have no access to the data.

Seems like the entire space has decided now is a good time to go public with Tesla at all time highs. Velodyne also went public recently under the symbol GRAF and has done well which is why Luminar quickly followed with a merger to go publi

Really not sure what your point is here. Name cities in North America that have 10+ legitimate Burmese restaurants. If you want to try good Burmese food, it really helps to have local Burmese restaurants. The last time I was at a Burmese re

If you're going to call out people for "bullshit" when they post facts you could easily Google, then you could at least apologize after you were shown to be both wrong and rude.

Its a matter of intent. If I've caught you trying to subvert the rules, then I have no reason to think you won't abuse them again. It is reasonable someone wouldn't want a frequent abuser to be able to submit new apps via the

Partially but it affirms my point that you disagreed with. My point from the beginning was that “nice” sake that was polished more and costs a lot (a Junmai Ginjo or Junmai Daiginjo for example) will be served cold. Many of the more alcohol

According to the law, the best course of action is not to break the law to prove you don't like the law. While the Terms of Service are not the law, you agree to follow them when signing up and the terms didn't change after Epic s

Yeah to be honest while I think Apple clearly has monopoly power here that should be reined in, I also get the feeling that Epic will have a pretty weak argument for why they purposely violated the Terms of Service and then expect to contin

Actually no one in this thread agreed with you on that. And if you'd bothered to visit the Mission or Divisadero or the other main centers of walking life then you wouldn't think people just go from restaurant to restaurant in Ube

San Francisco has functional public transit which escapes almost every American city and the cool neighborhoods are in fact quite dense, like the Mission. This is why people view it as one of the most walkable cities in America even though

Most cities are known for sprawl here. It’s not my fault. Sure I could compare to Portland but it’s small and honestly not that different from SF in terms of the kind of farm to table food and wine that’s served What are the numerous cities

If you think San Francisco has poor quality food, you clearly haven’t spent much time there (as you admit) or you don’t have very discerning taste. California grows the majority of the country’s produce and most everyone else is getting the
