imo, i've found cigarettes to be beneficial for pooping and for eating less, but digestion sounds interesting

if you go cold turkey you'll be so jammed up though

they got "doctors" to advertise how healthy a given cig gimmick was back in the day is all i meant

Palantir Gotham

Palantir Gotham (formerly known as Palantir Government) integrates structured and unstructured data, provides advanced search and discovery capabilities, enables knowledge management, and facilitates secure collaboration. The Palantir platform includes the privacy and civil liberties protections mandated by legal requirements such as those in the 9/11 Commission Implementation Act. Palantir’s privacy controls keep investigations focused, as opposed to the expansive data mining techniques that have drawn criticism from privacy advocates concerned about civil liberties protection. Palantir maintains security tags at a granular level.[6][9]

Palantir runs the site AnalyzeThe.US,[23] which allows Palantir customers and affiliates to use Palantir Gotham to perform analysis on publicly available data from data.gov, usaspending.gov, the Center for Responsive Politics’ Open Secrets Database, and Community Health Data from HHS.gov.[24]

Palantir Metropolis

Palantir Metropolis (formerly known as Palantir Finance) is software for data integration, information management and quantitative analytics. The software connects to commercial, proprietary and public data sets and discovers trends, relationships and anomalies, including predictive analytics.

one of my best buds works for the dod, can't tell me what he does, "even my specialization is classified" but he's a desk jockey in washington. he came out to sf to visit the palantir offices and we met up for lunch and he was loving blown away by their offices. he said it was like a combination of the matrix and every bad wallstreet movie. he did love all the free food/beer/open bar thing they had going on, but sadly could not partake in any of it.

i asked about that, he's actually an analyst, he could tell me that much. he's not a hard it/software guy. he has a masters in international relations from one of the big 3. he's a rad dude. i made him watch Rubicon and i was like "so is that what your job is like?" and he's like "man, i can't even tell you, good show though"

its funny whenever palantir comes up at a lunch or meeting or w/e and there's a manager in the room. they try to change the topic immediately and if they're too slow they'll just sit there quietly as we talk about all the benefits they get that we don't and how well paid they are and etc etc
