Palantir is a multinational data capture and analytics company.

What exactly is he/it being patriotic to? The US? If so, the company should be banned everywhere else in the world.

I don’t really care if there’s only one browser engine — but that engine had better support the latest international standards around stuff like progressive web apps.

Apple still supports PWAs, but they’ve become second class citizens. It should be possible to deploy most software as a PWA from XCode instead of a dedicated binary, including with access to hardware interfaces. And it would still be secure, and wouldn’t require app stores or sideloading.

Thing is, this agentic stuff… if it isn’t aimed at home users, who is it aimed at? Because it’s not compliant with any of the security programs IT departments are required to comply with.

Otherwise we go the American route and end up fighting amongst ourselves.

If it’s between the parents and the victim, then our government has failed us.

Precisely. Canada ditched the penny in 2013 when paying cash. Still exists for digital payments.

It really made virtually no difference other than that the Mint saved billions.

I’d argue that parents should be liable to the state, not the victim or their family. This is a societal issue, and civil liability won’t fix it.

You’re probably right, but steganography with FEC should be enough to do the job; any predictive text errors would be caught with the checksumming.

After all, Phil Zimmerman got the entirety of the PGP source code from the US to Germany as a book. OCR combined with predictive text reconstruction has come a LONG way since then. The big problem today with OCR is that it often corrects errors that were present in the original document.
