REFLECTIONS ON PALANTIR

Palantir's stock is currently on a tear, with the company nearing a $100 billion market cap. The company was unpopular in the past as it was seen as developing spy tech, NSA surveillance, or worse. There's a lot about the company that people don't understand - this article, written by someone who has worked at the company for eight years, attempts to explain some of this. It discusses what working at the company is like, the company culture, the type of people who work in the field, the morality of working at companies like Palantir, the opportunities AI brings, and more.

THE INTERNET'S HOMEPAGE

Digg was something like the homepage of the internet in its early days. The best and most popular stuff made it to the homepage, which was seen by tens of millions of people every month. The site featured voting mechanisms and a commenting system, which were brand-new concepts when it launched. This article contains an interview with Digg's creator, Kevin Rose, where he talks about why he built the site the way he did, the legacy of some of the tools he helped create, the death of the homepage and the rise of the news feed, and what happens when a company goes from a fun idea to a potential cash cow. Rose believes that there's a case for Digg to make a comeback, but only in a very different corporate form.
