After publication of a 2013 Forbes article, the CIA grew so frustrated by publicity about Palantir's business that it considered canceling its Palantir contract, but decided it would be too difficult to replace the work Palantir was doing

Verifying this receipt

The hash above was computed as:

sha256( coalesce(url, '<no-url>') || '\n' || raw_content )

  1. Take the URL field and the original document content.
  2. Concatenate url + '\n' + content and SHA-256 it.
  3. Compare to the SHA-256 row above.

Or POST the candidate content to /source/10292/verify and our server will compare for you:
