If they are orthogonal, then the conjunction is maximally informative...
Excellent point, now that you mention it, let's bring Trump and deep learning and 90's grunge into the discussion to form a maximal eigenbasis of discussion
I can't wait that EU citizen will hit them hard after May 25th.
I think palantir is CIA related... They probably are not going to worry about pesky international regulations
this is kind of scary and sad when powerful technology is being misused ...probably it is better to live in China ??? ..the government openly monitoring its citizen instead of spying on them
I used to be intelligence analyst that utilized Palantir on a daily basis. Ask me anything.

the lack of democracy is not fascism. Anarchy is non-democratic but is pretty much the exact opposite of fascism. Thiel is a libertarian which is a political system that is neither inherently authoritarian nor democratic. [edit] clarify "inherently". Libertarianism can be a lot of things given its primary focus on economics and contract law.
Since Thiel is a capitalist and not in support of democracy, that means he is either a fascist or an extreme libertarian. Correct me if I'm wrong, but mainstream libertarianism is still democratic, they tend to be supporters of government in the style of the original US constitution. That would mean that if Thiel is non-authoritarian he would be an anarcho-capitalist, which I have a hard time believing he is.
As an example of a non-democratic libertarian governance system, consider minarchism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minarchism.

What kind of search filtering options are available for fishing expeditions?
One of the primary screens in Palantir is a simple search page designed to work (and look) like Google, to search upon your entire database however you'd like. You can enhance the search function via the various attributes built into your installation or using advanced search tools. So I guess a "fishing expedition" in the traditional sense is very easy, as it's limited by the data you have, not the system itself.

That's what sanctions are for. But I highly doubt the EU will ever sanction the US as they are so dependant on them.
The EU could stand up to the US if they felt it mattered.
Other than defence partnerships the EU is no more dependent on the US than the US is on the EU.
It's a two way street.
Unless you think the US would be happy to walk a way from the largest single market in the world (by GDP).

I'm much less concerned with Palantir being used internally by corporations to detect information leaks (although in practice this also means it will be used to quash whistleblowers), since that's at least a viable use for their technology. And it's good that Palantir is pivoting towards less invasive applications of their technology such as supply chain tracking. But the article touches on the biggest issue with Pal…
Thiel's genuine commitment to freedom is questionable. Also, he's a misogynist and jerk.
