>"We haven't picked a place yet, but it's going to be closer to the East Coast than the West Coast,” Karp said during the interview. “If I had to guess, I would guess something like Colorado."

Geography is apparently not his strong suit.


If you start from Holly, CO on the eastern border and measure to San Francisco, CA and Ocean City, MD he's only off by about 300 miles--300 miles if you take US 50 in either direction, and interestingly ~300 miles if you let Google Maps take you via the boring Interstate routes (interstates tend to be straighter than the old highways, making up for the more meandering north-south jogs of I-70, I-80, etc, as compared to US 50).

Of course, it's more like a 500 mile difference starting from Colorado Springs, or 600 mile difference from Denver.


Depends how you parse it.


Maybe Palantir top brass are tired of the human rights protests and bloody handprints being painted over and around the outside of their building.

Good riddance.


Palantir still exists ? Are they even a tech company anymore ? I rarely hear anything about them or any hiring they do.


a lot of square feet opening up on university
