    He’s one of the world’s wealthiest men. That hair is a conscious decision.

    Also, Palantir, as a Tolkien reference, is too on the nose. The good guys don’t use the Palantir because of who else may be listening in. We’re so mask-off at this point you might as well call this company “The Eye of Sauron”

    What a lot of people forget is that in the early days of Linux there was no software that targeted it. Everything you would want to run on Linux was intended to run on something else like Solaris, BSD, AT&T Sytem V, SCO, AIX or something else. As a result, Linux APIs were the most generic flavor of Unix possible. Almost every thing meant for a Unix would compile and run on it and there was rarely a dependency problem.

    I still miss that.
