Production matters. Bending metal matters. Increasingly production is software-defined and optimized. We don't make the A350 or the ship or the car, we help Airbus, HDHyundai, BMW make it faster, cheaper, better. And that's how we are helping the defense industrial base produce

Why to companies spend millions to fund the creation of open source? Businesses are incentivized to commoditize their complement, and Open Source is a strategy to do just that. When butter is cheaper, people buy more bread. When gas is cheaper, demand for cars increases. When

@spacemankale @PalantirTech 1/12 Close. If Ontology is just objects, properties and relations, it is hollow. To make it kinetic you need models, functions, processes, automations. In its highest form, it is an object-oriented programmable abstraction on top of the existing transactional systems.
