What exactly was my argument? Separate from what they are doing with it, a college grad could pop open PowerBI and build this thing quite easily. DHS gets their data from other agencies, not Palantir. Surely you must recognize that adding to Palantir's mystique as some bad ass tech company only perpetuates its appeal.

It appears that the name kankerlijer is an insult meaning "cancer patient", sort of like how in the US the phrase "fucking cunt" might be used (except without the gendered notion - just in severity).

Didn't know so caching this here for others.
