SCOOP: DOGE is hosting a “hackathon” in DC next week with the goal of building one “mega API” for accessing all IRS data.
Palantir has been brought up as a potential partner.

Real programmers can navigate multiple service APIs and aren’t intimidated by languages like COBOL that don’t spoon-feed their patterns to you via Stack Overflow mis-information

Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me

Schumer, voiced by Alvin the Chipmunk, will swear that someday Ocean will go too far.
They want Gaza level surveillance in US
It is very bad that Musk is overthrowing our govt, inserting himself in place of Congress, installing Starlink in White House, invading govt databases. He is one of biggest security threats to US and world.

Obv, they’re gonna break it
Some good news!
In the UK, British Fencing, the body that oversees the sport has, from January 1st 2025, divided fencing into Female and Mixed categories. Trans women are required to compete in the Mixed category.
Based on the past few weeks - everything.

...they literally pushed with all their might to get Thumper elected & they'll still be stinking rich when the rest of us are forged to eat gruel !
Under Trump, they have lost $500bn so far
As I said, it was a long time ago.
Are there prizes? A gift bag of PII? Set of steak knives?
They really are going to break it all aren’t they?

The public caught on and forced it to be shut down. The Minister responsible was fired.
Privacy is the civil rights battleground for 21st century.
How fitting also, given the etymology of 'Palantir'.
This is likely the worst idea these terrorists have had yet.
They aren't meant to develop APIs either, even if the project goals are uplifting. It takes a lot more time, thought and often incremental refinement to do a good one.
We need a professional domain term for the combo of massive Dunning-Kruger Effect hubris & the Darwin Awards.
what could go wrong?
See you there, fam!
The Tories proposed a £££ income model for the NHS which sells access to pseudonymised ‘cradle-to-grave’ healthcare data of the U.K. to ‘for research’.
Nevermind the fact the researchers can use EXISTING tech which de-anonymises data with greater than 97% accuracy 🤦🏾♂️
1/ Slavery is over
2/ Colonies are turning on them
3/ The Middle East consultancy work has dried up
4/ India won’t let ‘em in Quite like the M.East did despite the U.K. giving them Rishi as PM
5/ China is self sufficient
The leach is running out of victims..
All these billionaire arseholes aka oligarchs are linked together +seem to pursue the same goals:
Disruption of economic processes; high inflation+fire sales left, right+centre for them to benefit from plus❗️
US💲to be dropped as reference currency+replaced by bitcoin?
( and yes: the father)🙄
With names like Big Balls and Mega, now that's bold genius! We bow in supplication for this gift from intellectual giants.
JFC, someone invite an adult into the room re DOGE.
This is an excuse to give away copies of the full IRS database as swag for participating.
One against all DOGE access, and especially any kind of write, download or IT access would be lovely.
"Because shut up, that's why."
They hack together a working demo in the limited time they have, then go away, leaving the code to be maintained by... who?
It's a multi-year project, with a large team and relentless amounts of incoming money.
(and then it's a crapshoot as to how well it all works)
But of course...
