Foxconn workers depart company, rather than shift to non-iPhone assembly -- report
I believe the pay difference comes from Apple mandating that they are paid appropriately for overtime and not so much a higher base wage.SpamSandwich said:It's fine that Apple-only assembly workers have more protections but I don't believe they should be getting paid much higher than the prevailing wages. There are thousands of people in China available to replace any workers who leave. Literally thousands. And wage rates and labor conditions are dependent on local factors and local laws and should not be viewed through the tint of Western prejudices.

Apple reportedly snaps up Israeli facial recognition company RealFace for $2 million
doggone said:That is a very small price to pay for a company. I'm surprised that the owners would sell it so for little. They probably got options as well for signing on to Apple.
Agree something is going on with that price. I would guess facial recognition for AR and not security (login).

Confide app used by White House staff not as secure as claimed, report suggests

If it's open, that can in theory make it better subject to testing and scrutiny.steven n. said:"Another issue is that Confide doesn't make its code public"????
That is an issue? Seriously? Does everything have to be "open source" or it's an issue?
For systems with closed source there are other certifications people can also feel better about such as being FIPS Validated (Federal Information Processing Standards) or having a Common Criteria Certificate which you need for a CSfC (Consumer Solutions for Classified) listing.

No, they aren't. As NemWam points out, the nature of a self-destructing message is forbidden by the Presidential Records Act.jaribbs said:It seems there's a double standard starting.... http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/republicans-epa-signal-encrypted/index.html It's not good for employees in the EPA to use Signal, another encrypted messaging system, but the WH is allowed to do it!
Pretty sure they don't want records of what they leaked to journalists...
