I think I missed a connecting piece here, since this is a non-government contract for Palantir. Since they've been able to do the above, I think they've developed a pretty good skillset at merging disparate data and surfacing it f

I think one thing to keep in mind is that the bar had been subterranean. I've had to work on a few platforms that were either the incumbent Palantir was trying to displace or a competitor trying to beat Palantir. All were not great, bu

Any sources to clarify this observation? One reason I ask is because if one is just looking at the Korean-American population as a whole, there are a couple other factors that could be leading to the gender imbalance: - Mothers raising thei

The fact that the founders named the company based off a Hawaiian-English dictionary look-up strikes me as pretty bland-corporate, "The company was named after akamai, which means 'clever,' or more colloquially, 'cool&#x

The emperor of Japan has 125+ mil subjects. States that recognize the British monarch as head of state: 67 mil (UK) + 38 mil (Canada) + 26 mil (Australia) + 5 mil (New Zealand) + others less than mil people = 136+ mil So pretty close, but t

I've heard those positive sentiments before and I'm glad it is a better product for some people. One of the features that kills me about Teams though is that I'm not able to join from Firefox.

ah, thanks for that. I wonder if this also explains why spaceports in the U.S. have tended to be located further south.

Not sure if I missed something, why did this have to be shipped across the ocean to a spaceport in French Guinea? Would it have been less of a logistical challenge to launch this out of Vandenberg in CA?

Is there something uniquely strategic about property owners in Southern Pines?? If anything, based on my knowledge, military contractors would be the strategic play down there (just as in VA/MD).

Is it really useful to think of these beliefs as being formed from facts? Or are these beliefs really more a by-product of certain moral positions people take? "Social intuitionism proposes four main claims about moral positions, namel

First, thank you for at least taking the time to try and understand how the history of Hawaii has shaped many of the issues facing Hawaii today. Second, I will add that I was not born in Hawaii but lived there for several years and have lea
