One of the things I constantly see discussed (for good and bad) is whether or not to view Palantir as a way to make the military-industrial complex "attractive" to the startup world. It could be an interesting point as to whether Palantir is ever going to generate a profit, or if it's merely the government outsourcing some amount of software development, without making it seem as unattractive (to some) as working for Lockheed Martin and the like.
