I don't follow what benefits to work at a company has anything to do with the ethics of its actions.
Note that I'm not accusing Palantir of doing whatever this article accuses them of but your argument to support the company based on its perks is very moot.
I pointed out these perks in response to some comments in this thread claiming Thiel is anti LGBT, racist and sexist. The company profile is in fact very diverse [1].
Palantir are freaking evil article hits the front page. "Hey come and work fcr palantir" is top post. Do you work for palantir dgut? You have time for a follow up about how good palantir is to work for but not to substantiate your claim the article contains falsehoods.
Thiel wrote a book 22 years ago under his college years. So what? He later retreated that position and apologized. I consider it a good thing when people discuss sensitive topics.
It's pointless to discuss what Thiel said or not about apartheid, since the allegations are purely anecdotal.
Calm down your paranoia.
Edit: I want to point out that in the country where I currently reside, this is a very natural discussion [1]
Still no time to substantiate your claims in the top post but time for this non-event, though. I call it how it looks, feel free to provide substance to the claims in your original post. That would seem appropriate to HN.
