    Obama Admin Sues CIA-funded Counter-espionaged Firm Palantir for Only Hiring 44% Asians

    - Palantir partner Information Warfare Monitor used Palantir software to uncover both the Ghostnet and the Shadow Network. The Ghostnet was a China-based cyber espionage network targeting 1,295 computers in 103 countries, including the Dalai Lama’s office, a NATO computer and embassies. The Shadow Network was also a China-based espionage operation that hacked into the Indian security and defense apparatus. Cyber spies stole documents related to Indian security, embassies abroad, and NATO troop activity in Afghanistan.

    So, maybe, the reason Palantir gets 85% of its job applications for software engineer from Asians but only hires 44% Asian has something to do with, I don’t know, Chinese espionage?

    "Harmony of the Seas will be 20% more efficient than the other two Oasis class ships, thanks to improvements in hydronamic design, a new type of engine and product enhancements"

    "Harmony of the Seas will benefit from bubbles to lessen hull friction in the water. Tiny bubbles stick to the bottom of the ship's hull so the ship literally is sailing on a cushion of air."

    The ship doesn't use port power, though, a preventable evil.

    I couldn't have said it better. ...an Apple fan boy at his worst, showing the typical unsavoury combination of arrogance and ignorance spiced with the odd truism.

    Neither Neal's essay (well written) nor OSX (a very well done Unix) deserve that.
