alt Hacker NewsYeah, we need to go back to names like International Business Machines, fuck this immature "Google" or "Yahoo!" nonsense. Hell, Palantir is named after something in a book for children!
Give me something reasonable like Global Information and Retrieval Systems Inc or Worldwide Computational Services Holdings.

Lest us not pretend that the thropic in Anthropic isn't meant to elicit the feeling that they are somehow charitable.

Palantir is in Lord of the Rings. Which is not a book for children. Maybe you were thinking of the hobbit?

Yes!
Back in the early 2000's I set up a company for contract work. The name, logo and typography was designed to look like a 1960s engineering company. All paper was slightly off white, all fonts were monospaced courier new and logo was a real 2-part colour stamp I had made up. Was so happy.
Managed to bankrupt it though.
