Lolli is short for lollipop also. I think that's their angle.
It's a bitcoin payback system. Doesn't seem particularly targeted at sketchy stuff, though crypto does have that semi-anonymous aspect to it. But law enforcement can still track bitcoin transactions, it's not totally opaque.
I suspect much of the PayPal mafia (Theil, Musk, sacks) are conservatives. It seems like the more money that rolls into the San Francisco Bay Area, the more hostile they become to conservative thought.
Their ceo is Alex Karp and the quote and letter was by him. Thiel is a libertarian/conservative and a co-founder of palantir and he was not mentioned in the article
I became interested in computers at a young age because the tech industry seemed to have a strong libertarian ethos with a focus on creativity and innovation. Now that I've entered the field, it seems like a good chunk of it is chained to the pursuit of perpetual wokeness.
Is Colorado some sorta land locked holy site to them? Are you going to hire conservatives and libetarians or is it just gonna be a new toxic silicon valley?
I am an adult and I already have a well grounded moral code.
I don’t want my email provider to try and influence my thinking.
My search engine should not be trying to make me vote their way.
I don’t want a lecture on toxic masculinity from a maker of disposable razors.
None of those corporate entities are better equipped to define my morality or ethics than I am. In fact they are much worse, as evidenced by the fact that they try to force their views onto others.
Make your product or service, make it well, and shut the F up otherwise. That is what companies should do.
Which is exactly why they should not try to ‘engineer’ society. They preach Agile methodology and people over process, but support a centralized bureaucratic system for society over a decentralized, self-organizing and incentivized system (i.e., capitalism). Cathedrals vs. Bazaars - history shows over and over which model works best, both for software and for society.
Moving from SF to CO is like jumping from the pot to the kettle + they're going to take a bunch of Bay Area libs with them.
Maybe, but I bet a lot of folks at Palantir are based.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies#ICE_Partnership_(since_2014)
Palantir's technology is "mission-critical" (lib's words) in helping ICE deport illegal aliens.
Know someone who used to work at Palantir. He’s cucked
Interviewed at palantir twice, wouldn't even consider working there for any money that's how bad it is. Same with google, facebook, apple, etc.
Peter Thiel has always been based
Peter theil is a conservative

No, it's just not filled with retards. Conspiracies and bad shit are everywhere, but not everything is a conspiracy.
Colorado is already well on it's way to SF because of shit like this.
We don’t want you! Stay out of Colorado.
CO not much better currently. CA fucked CO hard.

Yeah, that doesn’t seem like going to more conservative state?
It's probably a talent thing. There are only a few places in the country where you can attract large amounts of tech workers. CO is one of them.
Stay the FUCK OUT of Colorado
Moving from CA to CO is a lateral move.
Their ceo is Alex Karp and the quote and letter was by him. Thiel is a libertarian/conservative and a co-founder of palantir and he was not mentioned in the article
get rid of the engineers from India while you're at it and fix the culture at the same time
Finally, change we can believe in.

Peter Thiel was always based, he warned is in 1996

Move em to Oklahoma or Arkansas
Too many lefties in CO already. Wtf.
I'm skeptical of this guy and his company, but that letter was pretty based. Sounded like something a good leader would say.
And by "engineers" he means the HR department.

Palantir will fail if it doesn't replace its staff. We are already working on a solution to compete with them.

NONONONO. PLEASE RUN FOR GOVERNOR ALREADY!
