US hypocrisy
The US is the biggest hypocrite on this subject.
They steal any technology they can get away with, hide subsidies for favoured industries/companies and, just like now,
During the Reagan era there was COCOM, a coordinating committee on technology export with the idea of making it difficult for foreign manufacturers to get certain parts thus protecting US manufacturers of high tech products.
Except, as usual, someone got clever. I designed a product using 4000 series CMOS and there was a standard shift register and suddenly I couldn't buy the RCA part without filling in piles of forms. Solution - buy the same Toshiba part.
This also meant a number of US equipment manufacturers had problems exporting because straightforward products used COCOM controlled parts.

Re: So WTF is wrong with the US school system?
Bullying and abuse by staff is accepted.
At Columbine the sports 'jocks' even got away with rape because the staff persuaded the police to ignore them.
In this case the kid wasn't good at sports so the sports staff bullied and abused him giving the green light for other pupils to do the same.
It has been noted that he didn't shoot at pupils he liked.

No one is asking why he did it
There is a bullying culture there amongst the staff and particularly the sports staff.
Exactly the same happened at Columbine including persuading the local police not to investigate two rapes carried out by their favourites sports pupils.
Fix the culture or face the penalties.

Moto C Plus
The idea behind the Z2 is the same reason I bought a Moto C Plus recently after I couldn't get a usable replacement for my S3 Galaxy Mini - I want a phone that does basic phone stuff.
The 4000mAah battery means less charging which should help extend battery life and it came out in July last year so should be able to buy batteries for a fair while.

A brief history of Celestica
Celestica are one of the big three contract manufacturers including Solectron and Son Hai aka Foxconn.
Cleestica as created in a novel way - IBM built the worlds most advanced and automated plant for manufacturing PCs and made a loss because of the layers of management so sold it - to some of the managers who then started selling the PCs at IBM a good price.
I worked for them in the UK on a range of projects for six years.

Re: Building those capabilities
I had an interview at GCHQ - it's a shithole.
HR are scared to say anything, racism is rampant toward staff from the Middle East, crap salaries and pensions frozen. If you are disabled then give up - the electric wheelchairs they are required to have have flat tyres to match the flat batteries.
