Nope, you're not the only one. Funny thing is that every time I saw their name, I felt this vague sense of distaste in the back of my brain somewhere, but I couldn't remember why. You just reminded me of the reason.
- Jd 15y agoI had the same distaste for awhile until I realized that the HBGary guy actually edited the slides with Palantir's logo on them himself while making a pitch. Pretty sure Palantir canned the employee who let him get away with that a long time ago.

Pretty sure Palantir canned the employee who let him get away with that a long time ago. Is that feeling based on anything or is it just a hope? (Genuine question)
- wandermatt 15y agoI'm not sure your realization brought you closer to the truth. Yes, Palantir issued some denials, but you'd be better off reading the emails... http://politics.salon.com/2011/02/15/palantir/ http://politics.salon.com/2011/02/15/palantir/

- rhizome 15y agoMost of their money comes from leeching off the government, so their history comes as no surprise. It's also why their reputation factors not a whit until citizens demand that government contractors behave themselves. Palantir should have lost their ability to profit on the taxpayer dime for what they were involved in.
