      There is nothing evil about palantir as a company or business model. They are a highly skilled big data analytics firm and just ingest clients data and output useful metrics.

      The evil is the client(governments) intention to collect and use this kind of data. Which has nothing to do with capitalism and is only happening due to liberalism being on the way out.

        I guess there was nothing evil about GM and Ford supplying Nazis with vehicle parts (Henry Ford got a ‘golden eagle’ award from Adolf!) before WW2. Just good business, right?

        Nothing evil about IBM supplying them with punch cards to keep track of the Jewish either, right?

          The evil there is the Nazi’s so Im not going to talk about “most evil” and point to Ford when the Nazi’s are standing right next to them.

          We can easily chain together support to call anyone evil but thats stupid and unproductive. I’ll draw the line at the person committing the evil act being evil. Are people who hold raytheon stock evil? Are people who work for the government under Trump evil? Are the people who made food for Nazi’s evil? Where do you draw your line?

            Amazing. If you build and sell tools to commit horrible crimes against humanity, that’s all cool, it’s just good business actually as long as someone else is pushing the button.

            Kindergarteners have more robust ethics than this.

                Instead of answering this question, I’ll direct you to some tangential research that may help you answer this question yourself. I’d like you to read a bit on different ethical frameworks (you can just wiki that one), then I’d like you to apply that to some of the openly available policies, contracts and practices of the company. At that point you should have your answer. Thank you in advance for doing your own research 😉

      Conservatives always -hate- deficit spending … or anything else … when someone else is doing it. Else it’s right and noble and good.

    They have a good offering. From the demos and feedback their intel platform is solid. I wonder if this will be adopted by the rest of NATO.
