I used to work at Palantir (full disclosure). This is hardly spam. They're legit -- they've raised $30MM over four years and cracked a market they said a startup could NEVER crack: the government.
If this isn't a remarkable story, I don't know what is.
- pmorici 17y agoStartups crack government all the time. We just don't hear about it because it is usually insiders and companies that have ownership structures that give them special preference in the contracting process. It could be an article promoting the American Cancer society that doesn't mean it needs to be reposted multiple times per day.

As for how newsworthy it is, this isn't some pork barrel IT project -- it's computer science being deployed to catch terrorists in the field. 2) This is one of the first pieces of mass media coverage Palantir has gotten -ever- -- they've been under wraps for years.
