Peter Thiel - date rape is belated regret. I call sexist.

Apartheid is good - I call racist. http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/03/500...

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.

Pretty poor effort.




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.
