I honestly don't understand what's dodgy about Palantir. They build a platform to analyze big data and they have clients like government agencies, immigration control and law enforcement. What's the big deal here? Please educate me
Mostly its founding history. Funded by CIA’s venture arm, was basically built bespoke for the CIA and rest of the USIC. These days, yeah, at least a large portion of the company (+product) is a pretty normal enterprise software company that happens to build data platforms.
the UK got itself to a pretty peculiar setup now. The market for devs isn't so high paid or that huge to need much more people that don't already have the right to work there. It's not as attractive as the US
cool project. You might have notice, but there's a non-trivial amount of fraud on shopify (fake shops, info stealers, etc). Might be interesting to look at that dataset and explore a bit =) it's quite fascinating
I've definitely noticed that already. Any advice on how to spot that?
Another challenge is that there are products sold on the original site and third-party marketplaces, both of which could sell on Shopify. So need to find a way to automatically detect the type of store.
