@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny:
1. It is a video.
2. You are wearing a jacket.
3. Then you aren’t.
4. Then you are again.
Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends.
A few corrections for you:
Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.)
We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing).
We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing.
There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event.
Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale.
We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now.
We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story.
I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now:
->110,000 additional operations
->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges
->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer
Respect again for what you did with that jacket.
@BasilTheGreat@jessgill03 Nobody asked for that contributions. Nobody really needs them. This is a privilege to live in area you grown up. It is not the end of the world to move to another place. Grow up. This is pathetic.
@AaronBastani There is a 100 ways to make breakfast clubs cheaper. We can pay for school clubs before taxes, we can reduce tax brackets for school teachers, we can make schools do more activities on holidays to cover that price. Why are the school closed on holidays, they can have camps there
@leftsidehist@redstar4710@cooksimon This is parents job to feed their kids. To dress their kids. Not mine. What about after school clubs, we need to pay for them as well, right? Another 7, or maybe 14 pounds as it is 2,5 hours. There will be no limit here and you know it.
@leftsidehist@cooksimon Lets me explain how it works, 7 for children, 10 for pensioners, 5 for homeless, 3 for Palestine, 5 for Africa … 50 more points, where would be the line? What if it is just before Africa, are you racist?
@leftsidehist@cooksimon How about to let taxpayer to have his £7 to go to the coffee shop? Or taxpayer is not as important? Wtf is that, are you 5 year old?
