We've been working with public data for over a decade. The tools for accessing and analyzing have just gotten so good that it was time to scale it out.

merinid··on Ferrari vs. Markets
Every cargo shipment entering the U.S. generates a customs manifest—product descriptions, quantities, ports, shippers, and declared values. 8,818 Ferraris were detected in U.S. customs data from 2020–2026, averaging 121 per month. Import volumes correlate with Bitcoin (+0.70), S&P 500 (+0.74), and NASDAQ (+0.68).

merinid··on Jerry Neumann: Resignation Letter
Jerry Neumann is a cornerstone of the New York scene. He was helpful to anyone and everyone, with or without investment. He taught a class at Columbia that was the only practical technology entrepreneurship course in NYC for the longest time. His kindness and generosity were matched by his immense curiosity and pioneering spirit. His fund also had the best website in the game (for the longest time, a terminal emulator). Congrats Jerry on one of the best careers in VC. Thanks for showing so many that you can just do things your way and put integrity over hype every step of the way.

merinid··on Palantir and Prism: A Possible Link
I cannot believe the link between palantir and prism is by the mere NAME of the software package as alleged in this article. That's some weak journalism. I mean, just check out github while you're at it: https://github.com/search?q=PRISM&ref=cmdform
merinid··on Utah Data Center
You could do something data science-ish and look at how much power Baltimore Electric is buying in comparison to other companies, whilst controlling with Census data and perhaps other industrial activity data, see if there is really a gap in the power they are buying for the type of demand they should getting in a comparable scenario.

merinid··on DNI Statement on Recent Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information
I see your point but I am so tempted to assume that they are not just storing it in some flat dump but trying to extract some sort of higher order representation of the data as they are processing it into the warehouse. You could argue that surfacing trends is technically not "querying".
merinid··on DNI Statement on Recent Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information
No longer 404ing
merinid··on DNI Statement on Recent Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information
You can't query this much data with clustering it, indexing it, analyzing it first somehow.
merinid··on DNI Statement on Recent Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Information
You are absolutely right my bad - was haste of me. Still another interesting document. Wonder why the first is gone.
