Is Palantir actually that good? Or did all the governments just have enough brain drain they can't think of an alternative? Like if their product was so good why isn't Amazon using it? Like their case studies all seem to be pre-in

We're talking about the same guy that sent a second slate of electors for the 2020 election. The same guy that told the government of Georgia to add 10,000 votes to his total so he'd win. The same guy that received 0 punishment fo

Isn't the advantageous fraud easy to do? Sheriff monitors the ballot box (ex. Jimmy Carter's opponent). Only allow loyalists to count the result (and then report w/e you want; ex. Russia).

Presumable in Sweeden you can agree to new contract that supercedes the current one? That's all that's (argueable) happening here. To me the insane part is that contracts don't have to be registered with the courts (or some q

What discount rate are you using? Solar has one of the lowest capital costs [1] so the discounting works in it's favor. And then the non-discountable operating costs also works in its favor since the fuel supply (light) is free. [1]:
