What The Mormon Church And The Porn Industry Have In Common -- October 4, 2018

This is one of those article I had no interest in reading, but for some reason or another I decided to slog through it. It was well worth it. This paragraph alone was worth the price of admission:
Elemental servers sold for as much as $100,000 each, at profit margins of as high as 70 percent, according to a former adviser to the company. Two of Elemental’s biggest early clients were the Mormon church, which used the technology to beam sermons to congregations around the world, and the adult film industry, which did not.
The article is a cover story article over at Bloomberg.

I'm preaching to the choir, but as you read that article, if you don't understand Trump's concern with China, you are not paying attention.

The hardware hack was very, very, very clever. 

I did not read the article closely enough to see if Bloomberg gave the Trump administration any credit in its Chinese policies.

    1. Thank you. Incidentally, the writer of this Bloomberg article was interviewed on NPR today.
