> This completely changes our perception of T. rex as a dinosaur that was insensitive around its mouth, putting everything and anything in biting at anything and everything including bones.

I mean, wouldn't sensitivity be the default assumption? Why were they otherwise convinced?

To build on this; Is code equivalent to speech? Is Bitcoin free speech?

You think John Carmack, a legendary engineer who had his own aerospace company and has likely toured others, is wrong that it's extremely impressive? Which would be relative to others.

Do you see how this escalating though? Already concerns are being blithely dismissed, and it only starts as optional and non essential.

In Australia you can see the next step already where it’s being applied to grocery stores. You have to start pushing back before it gets to that.

Does the first part matter in the context of what the OP was talking about? If Trump mandated it many would not take it on that basis alone. That’s the point I’m responding to.

“If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the Doctors, tell us we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it, absolutely. But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it I'm not taking it.“

Note “But if…”. That programmers aren’t able to parse this if else statement is concerning.

Here's how meaningless this smear campaign is:

> Palantir worked with Cambridge Analytica on the Facebook data it acquired

Google, PG&E, DoorDash, Edible Arrangements, worked with Cambridge Analytica...

> Palantir is using War on Terror tools to track American citizens

The government does using some of Palantir's tools. Does Palatir itself do that?

> NYPD is canceling its Palantir contract

So?

> Leaked Palantir Doc Reveals Uses, Specific Functions and Key Clients

So?

> U.S. regulators accuse Palantir of bias against Asians

Accuse being the key word.

> How Peter Thiel’s Palantir helped expand the NSA’s global spy network

How Google, PG&E, DoorDash and Edible Arrangements helped expand the NSA's global spy network. Maybe the NSA is the problem here, not service providers?

> Britain gave Palantir access to sensitive COVID-19 patient records in £1 deal

Why did Britain give them access to that?

If that's the case, then why is student debt such a problem? Or is that equally overhyped?

Is that the only explanation? Or is it possible they see weakening institutions, weakening petrodollar and want to get ahead of the curve or diversify?

How is that marketing? When I'm in Mexico things are priced in pesos, but I pay with dollars and crypto.
