Palantir - 2018... or, 1984?

Saw an interesting article today:

https://theintercept.com/2018/05/11/...e-los-angeles/

Can't help but think of the "Project Insight" from "Captain America, Winter Soldier"... AND of "Big Brother" in 1984.

Here's a link to the company, Palantir. I can't help but suppose they got their name from the Palantiri in LOTR.

http://www.palantir.com/

As well as the "Home" page - the "About" page is interesting.

I started this in Middle Earth Forum - but think I'll move it to General Messages.
