Apple's (AAPL, $171.18) Tim Cook reportedly signed $275 bn deal with China- The Information reports

Apple  CEO Tim Cook signed a deal worth more than $275 billion with the Chinese government in 2016, according to a report by investigative tech publication The Information.

The report suggests that Cook reportedly "personally lobbied officials" for concessions that would enable the iPhone maker to do business in China in exchange for over $275 billion invested into its economy over five years.

The deal followed  China’s ban on iTunes in the country and its threat to do the same with applications like Apple Pay, iCloud and the App Store, as indicated in the report.

The agreement includes investing $1 billion toward Chinese ride-sharing startup Didi Chiuxing, and boosting employee training in China, according to The Information.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

How Machines and Humans Can Work Together

How Machines and Humans Can Work Together

We use devices every day that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) – to the point where certain actions, like communicating with digital “assistants,” have become second nature.Books and movies tell us that AI will not only replace our jobs, and by extension, our livelihoods – it will eventually replace us, too. While there is historical precedent for job loss following adoption of new technologies, experts insist that we should not be looking at AI as ‘machine versus human,’ but rather as machine plus human.
