Hardware brings the $, hardware gets budget increased. Typical corporate strategy. The only way someone in power could adjust the focus is if, say, the company failed while they were on leave or something.

It would be an MVNO. Maybe they plan to subsidize some of the line cost through advertising. Google could potentially have access to all network traffic for better ad targeting. As a side benefit, they could gain insights into iPhone usa

Angular was written by Google for Google products. It had a big corp audience in mind from the start. It provides developer structure at the cost of agility. This makes sense in large teams where contributors come and go and have varied

Fully agree with your technical AND political analysis. I commented along the same lines when the attacks were first announced and got downvoted. When a way of thinking is too far ahead of the crowd, the HN algorithm fails.

Moore's law is over. Pentium 4s reached 3GHZ 15 years ago. CPUs try things like parallelizing while the human brain thinks sequentially. CPUs are still getting faster but at an incrementally slower rate. A 4 year old Macbook Air is

If you try to break rules in NK, you're dead. Hacking culture and exploration doesn't fit in under a communist regime. No place to practice = no way to become a pro.

There is no way North Korea had the sophistication to hack SONY. Hacking requires knowledge of the latest security vulnerabilities. It's impossible to develop good hackers on such a censored network.
