      What crime was he convicted of? Surely that has some bearing?

        So which crimes are unforgivable enough to permanently prevent someone from rejoining society? Typically we handle these by assigning life sentences without parole. Was that the case here?

        Feel free to elaborate on which crimes should require us to permanently exile someone from society and which ones shouldn’t. Usually the court handles these with life sentences without parole. Was that the case here?

        They have a whole website to answer all these questions, and there's a fair bit on youtube etc? Honestly, I'm not sure why "what if we had a consistently available tech stack and data model" is that far fetched an idea though. https://digital.nhs.uk/services/federated-data-platform https://digital.nhs.uk/services/federated-data-platform

Brazilian Serpro (state IT company) also has a deal with Palantir. "The partnership between Serpro (Federal Data Processing Service) and Palantir Technologies is a technological collaboration focused on leveraging large-scale data analysis (Big Data) and the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Brazilian public sector"
