      You can’t equip the police in Germany completely. The local police is under the government of 16 different departments in Germany. Each police has its own systems (which is a mess, a problem and not efficient). Bavaria and Hessen use Palantir.

      > A palantír ([paˈlanˌtiːr]; pl. palantíri) is one of several indestructible crystal balls from J. R. R. Tolkien’s epic-fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. The word comes from Quenya palan ‘far’, and tir ‘watch over’.[T 1] The palantírs were used for communication and to see events in other parts of Arda, or in the past.

      So, German police gonna get Nokia phones then.

      Poor german police force. We can‘t get our own software to run properly and have to use some shit from oversea. Pathetic.

    4. Nice. Now Palantir just needs ten thousand more contracts like that to make their valuations reasonable.

      Interesting enough no English outlet has covered this yet. As far as I know some parts already used Palantir. That being said this is not as surprising as it seems since Karl used to live in Germany and speaks German.

      Might actually contribute 50k to their profit.

      I see a bullish case here, definitly could see the price go as high as a P/E ratio of 2000.

    7. On the way to minority report style predictive systems whereby they use dragnets to collect data and assess the likelihood of someone engaging in criminality then add them to a shortlist and surveil them. Whatever could go wrong?
