Data mining is performed by software developed by Palantir:

These systems are almost unbelievably efficient. Data mining is the fastest growing and most profitable sector in the industry. We long ago passed the point where aggregated sets surpassed human analysis. These systems can process Petabytes of materials, making connections that would take years to track down using traditional methodology.

Look for Russians and Ukrainians (maybe Canadians) who start riding trains and busses instead of flying !)

“we now understand that the service is a smarter way of displaying data for analysis by humans”

That’s an incredibly wonderful way of understanding the power. When someone spends all their mental energy organizing material in their own mind, they can’t get to the next level of understanding. Presenting the information so it’s immediately comprehended can be almost as useful as the gathering of the information in the first place. Thank you for the link.
