His delivery and the knowledge of the subject matter is unmatched by anything I’ve ever heard. I’ve listened them all multiple times but want more.
After years of hard work, my orchestra and I will be playing at Carnegie Hall in NYC in April.
I dont really have anyone to tell so I'm telling you guys.
I'm so excited!

Just watch it. It tells our story better than any other source.
For those who don't know, Palantir Technologies is a private American software company that specializes in big data analytics.^(1) Palantir's controversy emerged as reports alleged discovered Palantir was working with the US government, specifically Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to produce analytics software used in deportations.
Outcry over Palantir's involvement has resulted in a number of college campuses withdrawing their agreements with Palantir to recruit students during on-campus events.
I have recently read multiple social posts calling for Carnegie Mellon to end its involvement with Palantir.
I believe this is a well-intended argument. But Palantir is absolutely not the only company guilty of using its technology for morally-gray purposes, and is therefore undeserving of the particular derision it has gained.
If Palantir contradicts CMU's open inclusion initiatives by cooperating with ICE, then Facebook and Google should similarly be banned from career fairs given its involvement with American (and foreign) surveillance programs challenges CMU's commitment to freedom of expression as an academic institution.
By similar logic, Apple's role in the toxic extraction of rare-earth metals for its devices, which are heavily non-reusable themselves, is also deserving of scrutiny and exile from campus.
I have not even mentioned the defense companies and agencies that frequent the TOC.
I am not arguing that Palantir is not at least indirectly complicit in questionable government-related activities. However:
TL;DR: If a company's mission does not appeal to the campus community, then it would suffice for the student to decide for herself. This quasi-moral elitism is ultimately unproductive and is nearsighted when the technology industry collectively shares far greater sins.
This is a throwaway account

Hey! With admissions decisions for most top schools already out and CMU decisions coming out tomorrow, I figured I'd make good on my promise last year and make an AMA post for admitted/waitlisted/etc students about CMU.
I used this sub a lot last year but deleted most of my social media accounts when I went to college, hence the throwaway, and have lurked occasionally since. Some of you might remember me as /u/starcults, my former account.
Some background: I applied ED to Brown and got deferred and later rejected, and I applied to 27 schools in total, and got waitlisted by a lot of big names (Cornell, Rice, Williams, etc) and only admitted to Carnegie Mellon, UCLA and Berkeley, and chose CMU because of financial aid and a sense of a stronger community here. I am still taking on private loans to go here, and was projected to be 80k in debt by the end of college when I committed here, however, I have found ways to reduce this debt such as by working as an RA next year (and hopefully in the following years, too). I came in planning to major in Environmental Chemistry and Astrophysics, and am now studying Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering, which means that I am in both the Mellon College of Science and CIT/the College of Engineering. I am also considering picking up a Drama minor.
I love CMU with my entire heart and think that choosing to come here changed my life trajectory dramatically by making me reconnect with my passions for engineering and art through the very hands on and creative atmosphere here. Especially after the recent college admissions scandal, I feel somewhat like I wasted my college years on trying to get into an uber-prestigious school, but I also know I wouldn't have ended up here if I hadn't been the competitive applicant I was, but I want to emphasize that I'm happy to be here because of the specific aspects of the school's coursework and culture, not because of the prestige.
Feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know about CMU, freshman year, choosing a college or anything else relevant!
