You don't have to believe them as absolute facts, just assign a possibility to them.

After all, nothing, even "this table is real" has a 100% fact status (we might be in a dream or a simulation).
It isn't anti-development if the net present value is positive. Whether that's true obviously depends on the time value of money, i.e. interest rates, but interest rates are still near historic lows. So if there was ever a time to do it.

> If Palantir is doing something that risks national security then they ought to work with the government on that.

On the other hand, if they are already working with the government on things that have an impact on, or are related to, national security, then it is perhaps prudent not to sell large portions of the firm to foreign buyers.
>I wonder how that would be revisited today. Now misinformation comes from all corners, many factions all vying to misinform their way into being "the system".

The System was never a single entity (e.g. just the government) in the first place.

As for smaller independent fractions, those are not really relevant, because its a power law that defines what people believe. 20% of the media/outlets/social media accounts/etc set the tone for 80% of reality (and recursively, 20% of those set 80% of the tone).

Ouch. That just hurts seeing that line.
You should consider whether the pay increase really is a pay increase per actual work hour (including overtime), and considering that you might be moving up to a higher tax bracket.

When I say work hour, keep in mind that places that honor overtime pay policies do so at higher rates (IIRC 1.5x base hourly rate). Realistically, that's pretty generous considering the level of exploitation some companies get away with, but remember that in addition to adding a work day, a 6-day week subtracts one rest day.

That means you get roughly half the number of days other people would for socializing, family time, errands, house chores, etc. The higher work-to-rest ratio can also negatively affect your health and your romantic relationship (or limit your prospects, if you're not in one).

If the pay increase involves relocation, also consider cost of living, house prices and future employment potential.

If the pay increase involves a change in type of employment type, again, consider tax implications and benefits (particularly healthcare benefits)

I wish I'd thrown a year or two of my younger life (hell, older, pre-kids life) into something crazy like that, trying to build something with friends under pressure and in testing circumstances. I think I'd prefer that situation to the typical work environment I had at the time then or even now.

They switched the water to the Flint River to try to save money (the city had been maintaining infrastructure and a treatment plant to pull water from the Flint river for many years previously but it was unused).

My understanding is the largest problem was not pulling water from the river - it was the decision of evironmental department officials and treatment plant managers to not add anti-corrosion chemicals to pH balance the acidic water. (They claimed to misinterpret federal regulations and believed 1 year of monitoring was necessary before adding the chemicals). The chemicals themselves were quite cheap and there hasn't been any "corruption" related reason for them not to have been added. Unless new evidence has come out since then, this was a case of incompetence.

No, 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.
It is a textbook. Typically, students don't read text books cover to cover (and often read very little or none). Instead, they perhaps read some of the few sections that are listed in the syllabus and follow the lectures and do the homework because that's usually what's on the test.

Outside academia those things are not an option and part of what makes a good book is that it can be read and reread over a long period of time and still be relevant.

Yes, the latter is deeply unethical in my book. If the same standards of "economical/business sense" are applied to more things, of equal necessity, it would create a completely dystopian society.
My point is that the playing field in the intervening time has indeed become much more level. And the signal-to-noise ratio has certainly not improved: the most noticeable effect is that now the likes of Breitbart and Infowars have seat at the table. Even tables in the White House.

My favorite was when this neoanarchist site published a video of the military killing people, and the credit card companies refused to continue to serve them. And then an amorphous non-organization known as "Anonymous" brought down the credit card companies' websites. Meanwhile the neoanarchists switched to a newly emerging "crypto-currency" created by a shadowy entity known only as "Satoshi Nakamoto".
> That's great, but time value of money being what it is, you'd rather pay for something later than paying for it now.

That assumption only holds if the cost of the inputs do not rise with time. In fiber builds up to 80% of the costs are labor. If/when labor costs rise more than the cost of money then you are worse off putting off an inevitable/intended investment.

Furthermore if putting off an investment causes duplicate costs (build aerial, later replace with buried) or causes you to forego OPEX savings (aerial vs. buried facilities maintenance costs), then you are actually worse off by paying later.

Thus the time value of money is not the end all and be all.

You lack imagination. Blackmail, espionage, economic advantage are all possible if a you have the kind of data that Palantir is fairly routinely assumed to have access to.

Seriously? What does that have to do with investing in the stock market?

Palantir isn't the Manhattan Project. Plus, the US is on friendly terms with China. Most of our computer hardware is made there. I don't see how Chinese investing in Palantir somehow hurts our national security. No need to spread FUD or build walls in the stock market.

Your comments seem to be in line with Thiel and Trump, who fear other countries, so I can see where you're coming from, I just think it's 1950's style thinking and not reflective of 2017 reality.

This is a life-changing read for me. I was debating if I should move to Seattle or Bay area to pursue my 'science project' or not. My current job is going to give me 7 weeks of severance starting in late April and I think it will be enough to at least make the leap and cross my fingers. What I am working on will change the course of history if I even get close to succeeding.

I was wondering if YC or TechStars would be more ideal for me to start, I do not want to go to a major investment firm that will see $$$ instead of the value my invention has for science and human progress. I know it is possible to build a company and advance science but I have to be VERY careful about who is involved at the early stages. I think the only place for something as 'crazy' as my project and as 'crazy' as myself to be taken seriously is SF.

Does escrow really work with secrets like this? The buyer receives the exploit and claims it doesn’t work. The seller claims it does. The money is still in escrow. How do you proceed? The escrow agent is getting a commission, they should not have access to the full secret. It’s really hard to find an escrow agent who has the skills to assess an exploit and whom both the buyer and the seller would trust not to leak it or use it for their own benefit.

The CEO at my company is nice, handsome, charming and as far as I know I've never seen him actually be angry at someone or anything like that.

I just think something feels off about him. The enthusiasm doesn't feel 100% genuine.

Every creative work is subject to copyright. That isn't being overly aggressive. It's how the law works.

The one problem is that these people are constantly eating gluten. The gut needs time to heal from things that bother it, and while inflamed anything will bother it. I have a gluten intolerance. If I am eating gluten constantly, I will get sick on many foods for a while; gluten free or not.

I think overall this headline is just click bait. We shouldn't be looking to prove that "x thing does not exist" because people in real life do experience x and saying a test proves otherwise doesn't just make that condition vanish. Instead we should be looking at "is x really y" or "is there something we don't understand about x".
True Celiac Disease is a serious illness that destroys the intestines. It is diagnosed with biopsy, and, fortunately is very rare.

One of the indicators is weight loss. There are no obese people with Celiac Disease.

It's sickening how many people have "culturally appropriated" a serious disease so they can feel they're "eating clean" when they eat "gluten free foods". It's doubly sickening when the people who do this are obese.
In the same way that a non-profit organization can still use money and sell t-shirts, so will GPL use concepts like copyright to achive their own goal. Of course, the purpose of non-profit is not to earn profit, and similar the goal of GPL is not to maximize copyright.
Where is this at, if you care to share? And do you know if your menu states anything about this? Most restaurants I look into (and won't eat at as a result) say stuff like:

"Gluten Free – Did you know that Chef Heather knows each and every ingredient that goes into her dishes? If you require a gluten free dish, please tell your server, or ask the Chef about it. Gluten Free is Not available for every dish." http://plumtreebistro.net/bistro-menu/

But when I email the restaurant, such as Plum Bistro, I get replies such as, "Hi there we are not a gluten free restaurant. We simply offer gluten-free options it's not advisable to dine with us if you have celiac disease because cross-contamination may occur."

Or another restaurant, after enquiring about their gluten-free options: "Thanks for your inquiry. We don't have specific cross contamination protocols."

I find these, or restaurants that have fine print about shared facilities and not assuming risk of cross-contamination, to be the norm in Seattle.

There's "working on something awesome" and there's "working on something (I think is) awesome". I see a lot more of the latter, and much less of the former, and it's hard to tell the difference. But... when it's easy to tell the difference... it's hard to accept if you're in the latter camp.
I think the _idea_ of a honeypot page is great because it gives you a chance to re-engage with a potential user (not necessarily customer).

There's obviously more than one way to style it, but just like every good marketing how you present it should fit your product/brand.

Personally, I think the page should talk more about the "why" you should pay this guy (who works hard on it, bla bla bla) and less about scaring you into paying, because most people who know what a crack is aren't really scared away by the mention of malware.

They're not buying these shares through a fund on the open market but in one large chunk from a direct shareholder.

Why assume they'd stop at a minority interest?

A Chinese equity buying a sizeable chunk of equity in Boeing or Lockheed would be a huge deal, comparable to the Aixtron acquisition (German chipmaker, deal got blocked by Obama administration on national security grounds). Ditto for Fairchild and Philips.

The Chinese directly or indirectly trying to gain a sizeable chunk of a company like Palantir is not just any old stock transaction, it is a strategic acquisition.
