Earlier quoted context omitted.

If Cannot resolve archive.ph host Access the .is domain https://archive.is/lXw7j internet archive cannot resolve either

archive.ph works fine for me. Resolves to 168.222.241.49 archive.ph 2a09:b280:fe00:5a:d197:eab6:9aa0:f22 archive.ph

Archive.ph returns different results to Cloudflare’s resolvers intentionally, preventing Cloudflare DNS users from resolving it correctly.

Anyone who has read The Lord of The Rings has exactly zero reasons to trust Palantir.

Indeed. The corporation name is literally (in literature!) an example of all-seeing surveillance tools causing harm when (not if) they fall into evil hands.

Crazy that there's a weapons company called Anduril as well

Why? Naming a weapons company after Aragorn's sword makes sense. "The Daily Beast" on the other hand is a rather cynical name...

Creative people seem to be rather pacifistic. Warmongers seem less so, they have to "borrow" from the creative ones.

> Palantir, whose software is widely used by US defence and intelligence agencies, has faced growing scrutiny in parts of Europe as governments reassess their dependence on American technology companies.

I think it's great. Europe and other regions will be building out their own tech stacks, decreasing global dependence on big US players like AWS and Palantir, creating lots more jobs for programmers and much broader ecosystems for doing things.

> “We welcome that the Zurich Commercial Court confirmed our right to publish a counterstatement” Well that certainly is one way to spin having 22 of your 23 counterstatement requests dismissed by the court.

Their right to publish multiple counterstatements is left unsettled by current law

Anduril is quite a positive name, it is a broken sword reforged later to save humankind. Quite a metaphor about western reindustrialization.
