Thanks for the additional info. I'm not sure how to feel about the increasing use of automation. As a technologist I know that technology tends to increase efficiency and to some extent productivity which could allow us to scale up to

As I understand it the incentive to automate is to 1) reduce costs and to 2) increase quality by standardizing the execution of complicated tasks. If this is true then as a general rule automation is going to target jobs of highly payed, se

If you sign a JWT with the 5 character secret does it generate a token that you can verify with the 64 character secret? I'm wondering if it could be a key collision.

This software attempts to determine the private key for the HMAC-SHA256 (HS256) signature algorithm. The example provided has a private key length of 32 bits which is far too short to be secure. Based on the JSON Web Algorithms (RFC 7518) t

These are all valid points. I think one of the interesting effects of using different types of communication tools is that they limit the spectrum and volume of input we can receive. It sounds like your experiences are enhanced by using a c

Does Palantir make US citizenship a requirement for most of its job positions? My understanding is that this is common place for most US military contractors but I was wondering if this applies to government contractors at large.

I don't think the conclusion that it's solely, or even mostly, class based is correct. Up until the 1965 there was open discrimination towards minorities enshrined in law. That's a mere 51 years ago from today - well within

There are two separate issues. One is the disproportionate attention minority races get from the police. It's not hard evidence but here's a CNN report discussing the profiling that wealthy blacks receive in the United States. ht
