Everything about Palantir and Joe Lonsdale are just so gleefully evil that one can not help but laugh at their ignorance.

Add that him and Thiel are billionaires and it gets terrifying.

Lonsdale was also accused of rape and is quoted as saying that women need to be raped to learn to respect men.

So, the prototypical a*hole to say "made us hit things". The blame the victim playbook.

Astonishing with how much you can get away with by wearing a suit. If he would be wearing rugs, a lynch mob would beat the shit out of him. I'm not implying that's desirable, I'm just baffled by societies criteria, which swing from one extreme to another. And neither one makes sense.


> a*hole

Asshole.


I am not technical. What does this mean for one who migrated to Proton but has their old Gmail account forward to a new Proton address? I am guessing that's unaffected and it's just outbound from Gmail as a third-party email domain?


Yes, that's unaffected


I don't eat meat or watch television. I'm whiter than you.


Not understanding the aspirin reference.


Pretty sure "causes Aspirin sales to soar" is an attempt at cleverly saying "gives people headaches"


Thanks, I also found this unclear.


Aspirin had (though this is increasingly dated) unique cultural currency as a headache medicine for quite a while after it stopped being the overwhelmingly dominant first-line OTC remedy.


Omitting clarifying information is how cool kids signal their coolness to others, and exclude uncool kids.

This is even more true of HN users than it was on the actual playground.


Titles tend to be terse, HN—by the guidelines—prefers original titles, Kleppman isn’t (AFAIK) an HN user, and the piece is ~20 years old—when a lot more of the audience wouldn't have missed the reference.


Yours is a response to someone providing clarifying information, something I often find helpful on HN.


Maybe I am a chud but if I am driving to pick up my food and the cashier is just ringing me up, nobody's getting tipped and I have no problem hitting no tip.


Been that way all along.


I don't find that to be a valid reason. After all, some low paid (but still decently skilled) workerbee prepared the food and packaged it up. When I tip, I'm tipping for both the food and the service. It's a crap shoot about whether it's the practice for the servers to tip the kitchen very well, but they usually tip them something.


Why don't we tip bus drivers then? Why don't we tip dental hygienists? Why don't we tip the pilots on our flights or the janitors at our libraries?

The choice of who we tip is entirely arbitrary. How much we are supposed to tip is also arbitrary. There is no logic behind it. The system is entirely stupid.

It clearly existed so that the proprietor can delegate the duty of finding and punishing bad service employees to the customer... which is, again, a terrible system that makes no sense, and it make even less sense now that it's spreading to all manner of jobs where this tenuous connection doesn't even exist!


Then why don't we tip at the deli counter? Or at the supermarket? Tips have always been about the service.


How do you know it's low paid? Why not tip 100%? You seem very certain about parent invalid reason as well as your own assumptions. Please enlighten us



Is this reddit or hn?


Claude is back up. Just spoke with him about slinky, versatile femboys with cute feet. All good. Gonna pentest with Rust to pay for my fursuit at Defcon.


Nice try, ChatGPT

Not everyone is seeing a paywall. Not sure if it’s the adblocker or other factors.
