Their consultations with the NSA, for a start?
If you dislike Palantir, though, you should also dislike Sqrrl.
- chinathrow 11y agoYes, for a start. What can you tell us about Sqrrl?
- VonGuard 11y agoSqrrl built the tech the NSA uses to sift through phone calls and such. They're now selling this tech for big data applications.
- dimino 11y agoLots of companies do work for/with the NSA, and I doubt that's a significant percentage of their business anyway. Just seems like there's a weird (and generally incorrect) fascination with Palantir that I don't understand. In my field specifically, Palantir has this reputation for being a good cybersecurity company that simply doesn't come from anywhere concrete. It's just confusing.
- chinathrow 11y agoAre you serious? A "good" cybersecurity company? Why on earth can you make that bold statement? Unless proven otherwise, any big data companies in bed with the agencies are not considered good these days. Have you forgotten, that your metadata is still being scooped up at large and propably sifted through thanks to companies such as this very exact Palantir?
- dimino 11y agoChill out, I mean "good" as in competent.
