We need to make books with their names and faces and business relationships. All the ghouls. All of them. They should never sleep another night restfully.

Nonono it’s “eat the rich” not “send the rich to the moon”. We have to keep the logistics in mind here. I mean, think of the rocket fuel. In this economy no less.

Best we could do would be some form of slingshot. I reckon the g forces would kill them long before they arrive and there would be little more than a small stain left on the moon. Somebody needs to do the math on this. I’ll make the logo.

There are regular protests outside their main engineering office in Palo Alto.

Captain Coke says it’s ok to occasionally kill people.

You’re burning the wrong thing. Burn every single person responsible for these companies.

Thank you for the correction. While the headline is technically correct, it’s misleading in that it connects the suing directly to the published article.

Republik’s managing director Katharina Hemmer said Palantir had wanted the magazine to publish a very lengthy counterstatement to each article. Republik believed the proposed statements did not fairly address or rebut the reporting, she said, adding that the magazine stands by its reporting.

While right of reply actions are a common tool in Switzerland, it is unusual for a large international company to file one against a local media organisation.

Yeah, to hell with Palantir and full support to the publication.

Bundesrecht Art. 28g:

1 Any person whose personality rights are directly affected by a representation of events in periodically appearing media, especially the press, radio or television, shall have a right of reply.

2 There is no right of reply in respect of accurate reports of the public dealings of an authority in which the affected person took part.

I’m not an expert on Swiss law, but I don’t see any reason that they’d be entitled to a reply…? Let’s hope the courts see it the same way. Bullying small independent media for their factual reporting is just low.

I love playing hangman, don’t you?

mods i would like to ask a clarification on the rules before i test them, as this has been a respectful community. would an image of a cigar cutter or paper cutter be a violation of the rules even though in my language they are homonyms?

Relevant bit so you don’t have to dig in the article like I just did:

Billionaire Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and former Facebook board member, paid $10 million to help finance lawsuits against Gawker Media, including the Bollea lawsuit. The idea had been brought to him by Australian businessman Aron D’Souza. Thiel called his financial support of Bollea’s case "one of my greater philanthropic things that I’ve done."[34][35][36] Gawker had published an article in 2007 outing Thiel as gay.[37][38]

I think it’s more like Thiel looking for any reason whatsoever to take down Gawker.
