    What is it with tech bros/awful businesses bastardising Tolkien’s creations? Palantir, Anduril…

      Palantir was just too on the nose, they’re basically saying “we’re evil, this is evil”, which is super creepy in a “what the hell is wrong with you” kind of way.

      Anduril means “Flame of the West”. So for a California based weapons manufacturer, it’s kinda perfect.

      I’m not saying these are good people or anything, just that of all the tolkien-named business, Anduril is probably the best named one.
