If 50% of engineers choose not to work for Palantir for ethical reasons, they have to hire from a reduced talent pool. The company will have to pay more for talented engineers but can probably still succeed. If 90%-99% of engineers refuse to work for them, they're going to have a much harder time of it.


I would assume maybe 1% have read this tweet and maybe 20% would refuse to with them


Factory farming.


This is wild.

8:37AM "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT"

12:18PM "I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"


Assuming this was planned so insiders can buy the dip (and let's be honest, he's not clever enough for this, but any crypto bro is), his announcement serves the insiders perfectly as plausible deniability.

What's even wilder is this random Twitter account that 'leaked' the 90 days pause two days ago, got picked up by the news as truth, caused the market to recover by trillions of dollars temporarily... and now this...


Taking the source for what it is, if this is true then some people made some crazy money today.

There were people buying 18,000 SPY 510 calls at noon due to expire yesterday at 4pm. That is an absolutely insane thing to do unless you had very sure insider information of an incoming spike


Hi, Clippy here! It looks like you're about to attack a NATO member, have you double checked your attack coordinates?


I'm seeing so many of these posts and I just don't understand how this perception of EA has formed. What charities are you giving to? EA would say you should give to fight global poverty and improve global health as fighting malaria is more effective than say, giving to a local arts community. What's bankrupt, barely coherent, stupid, and technocratic about that?


> EA would say you should give to fight global poverty and improve global health as fighting malaria is more effective than say, giving to a local arts community

Dozens of ideologies say that. EA doesn't say only that.


A common theme in Charles dickens books is a character that cares so much about people in faraway lands that they completely neglect their family. Today with our understanding of mission colonialism these behaviors appear even worse.

On a personal level, my familial obligations supersede even local art charities and much less distant global health issues. Most EA people have enough instinctive moral behavior to avoid falling into a trap like SBF, but EA taken to its extreme clearly states that distance is not morally relevant.


I believe the general consensus is that nuclear war is a great risk and important to prevent but the effectiveness of philanthropic efforts is low. Fighting malaria is still a more effective form of altruism.

I know of another smaller firm that uses OCaml for their trading. It's beyond me but I believe it's reactive programming, where it's reacting to market data input and other signals.


Is it an animal, a mineral, or a vegetable? Surely you can give us enough generic information that we can know roughly what kind of business you run without making it searchable.


We operate in the public sector where the number of startups is small. If I shared the vertical you'd be able to narrow it down to 2 or 3 companies.


  Responding officers found the decomposing body of a white male. After an autopsy, the body was believed to be Hoffenberg. It is unknown when he died. The cause of death is pending toxicology results, but no signs of trauma were discovered.
  "A subsequent dental record comparison is underway to make a positive identification...
To fake your death, could you get dental implants and keep your removed teeth, wait until someone similar to you dies, dig up their corpse, implant your teeth, and then let them decompose in your home?


It's because the book which is mentioned in the article, "Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries", was just released.


For this, yes, but it was a very old podcast episode.
