Rebekah Neumann, the WeWork executive and wife of cofounder and CEO Adam Neumann, demanded that employees be fired after meeting them for mere minutes because she disliked their "energy," The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The Journal's report didn't indicate if those employees were ultimately terminated. The We Company declined to comment on this report.

Rebekah Neumann is a cofounder and the chief brand and impact officer of WeWork. She is also the founder and CEO of WeGrow, the "conscious entrepreneurial school" for children ages 2 to 11 under The We Company's corporate umbrella.

She also happens to be the first cousin of the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, the founder of the health and wellness empire Goop, which, like WeWork, has occasionally endured ridicule. Rebekah Neumann's apparent focus on "energy" is another thing they might have in common: Goop article titles include "Clearing out old energy," "Understanding how to move and manipulate energy," and "Energetic Detox: How to get rid of bad energy."

Rebekah Neumann also "pushes to infuse spiritualism in We," former employees who worked with her told The Journal.

The Journal further characterized the Neumanns as "impulsive at times," reporting that Adam Neumann was "bemoaning the number of 'B' players hired amid rapid growth" and consequently ordered his staff to fire 20% of the company's workers annually.

The We Company included a plan for succession in its initial-public-offering filing in August involving Rebekah Neumann, who was described in the filing as Adam Neumann's "strategic thought partner." The plan would put Rebekah Neumann at the helm of a committee with two board members charged with selecting a new CEO if Adam Neumann were permanently incapacitated within 10 years of the IPO.

Involving Rebekah Neumann in the succession plan yielded investor pushback. Consequently, The We Company changed course, removing her from the plan and barring her from serving the board.

In 2017, the New York Times published a story that chronicled an in-air interaction between US Navy pilots and a strange object near San Diego, California.

The pilots had snagged footage of an oblong flying object with their F-18's gun camera on November 14, 2004. The object appeared dark against the bright daytime sky before "suddenly and instantaneously accelerating to the left, out of view of the [camera] sensor at what appears to be an unprecedented velocity," the video narrates.

That video was one of three instances in which Navy pilots caught an unknown aerial object on camera; the latter two videos were both recorded on January 21, 2015— giving rise to speculation that they depict the same object.

Today, Joseph Gradisher, the Navy's spokesman for the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, confirmed that his organization designates "the objects contained in these videos as unidentified aerial phenomena," or UAP.

Read More: The US Navy has finally confirmed that mysterious videos showing pilots spotting UFOs are genuine after years of speculation

The term UAP has been widely adopted by government officials in place of UFO, or "unidentified flying object."

Gradisher released the statement to The Black Vault, a civilian-run archive of government documents, and later Vice— the first time the Navy has publicly addressed the contents of these videos.

John Greenwald, curator of The Black Vault, told Vice that he "very much expected that when the US military addressed the videos, they would coincide with language we see on official documents that have now been released, and they would label them as 'drones' or 'balloons.'"

But that was not the case.

"They went on the record stating the 'phenomena' depicted in those videos is 'unidentified.' That really made me surprised, intrigued, excited, and motivated to push harder for the truth," Greenwald said.

But just because the Navy has classified these objects as "unidentified" doesn't indicate that they are extraterrestrial in nature. (Former members of the military have said glitches in the pilot's heads-up display are likely to blame, rather than aliens that happen to only float around Navy fliers who have newer radar systems.)

Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, previously told Business Insider that just because a flying object we can't identify is caught on camera doesn't make it alien.

"If you see something in the air that you don't understand, and you're the guy in charge of the Air Force, you want to know what that is. It doesn't have much to do with aliens, necessarily," Shostak said. "Despite more than a half-century of this, the really good evidence that we're being visited still has failed to surface."

There are many reasons aliens probably haven't visited us

Shostak said he's skeptical of any claims that Earth has been visited by aliens for a few reasons.

For one, distances in space are mind-bogglingly vast. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft, for example, is leaving our solar system at a clip of 38,000 miles per hour. If the probe were aimed at Proxima Centauri— the closest star to Earth besides the sun that might harbor a planet capable of sustaining life — it'd take nearly 75,000 years to reach that system. (It's roughly 4.24 light-years away.)

What's more, humans have been sending radio signals into space that indicate our status as intelligent galactic denizens for only the last 80 years or so. These signals are arguably the the only way anyone else out there would even know to come looking in our quadrant of the Milky Way.

"The only way they would know is to pick up, for example, signals from our transmitters — television, radio, radar, all that stuff. But those signals have been going out only since the second World War," Shostak said.

That means only extraterrestrials within a certain distance would have any chance of making it to Earth by now.

Read more: Smart aliens might live within 33,000 light-years of Earth. A new study explains why we haven't found them yet.

"If they're more than 35 light-years away, there hasn't been enough time for our signals to get to them, and for them to decide, 'Well this is worth the money to go down there and fly around.' Because they can't go faster than the speed of light, and they probably can't go the speed of light," Shostak added.

Within 50 light-years or so, there are only about 1,400 star systems.

"That sounds like a big number, but it's a very small number if you're looking for intelligent beings," Shostak said. "Unless they're the next star system over, which is statistically rather unlikely."

If aliens are here, 'they're not doing anything'

An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, of course, but there's just no proof that aliens have ever visited us, Shostak said.

In nearly all credible reports of UFO sightings, there's no interaction with the witness (aside from claims of alien abductions, which evidence suggests are hallucinations caused by episodes of sleep paralysis and possibly abuse).

"They're the best house guests ever. Because if they're here, they're not doing anything ... They send a huge fleet of spacecraft, preferably shaped like dinner plates, just to fly around and get people agitated but otherwise not to do a thing," Shostak said. "It is a little odd that aliens would come hundreds and hundreds of light-years to do nothing."

Imagine, Shostak added for the sake of comparison, if European colonizers had sailed to America but never interacted with any indigenous Native American tribes: "They don't try and take any of their land, they don't bring any disease, they don't do anything; they just sort of walked around at the fringes of their settlements, leading to puzzling sightings, but that's it."

As for the military-verified UAPs in the Navy videos, Shostak said those peculiar sightings are likely the result of an upgrade to the 1980s heads-up display technology. That upgrade happened — likely not coincidentally — just before the pilots spotted the anomalies in those screens.

The technology allows pilots to "see" in radar, but sometimes those pings result in false tracks that don't belong to any object and are simply the result of a system glitch.

"As anybody who uses Microsoft products knows, whenever you upgrade any technical product, there are always problems," Shostak told Space.com in May.

Tesla installed a Supercharger at the iconic Nürburgring race track in Germany, the company said on Wednesday, further fueling the electric-car maker's unofficial competition with Porsche.

It's not Tesla's first Supercharger in Germany, a country synonymous with supercars, thanks to heavyweights like Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. The location shown in the tweet is not yet on Tesla's online database of Superchargers.

On Tuesday, a heavily modified Tesla Model S completed a lap of the circuit almost 20 seconds faster than Porsche's new electric Taycan, the automotive magazine Road & Track reported. The faster track time comes after Tesla CEO Elon Musk poked fun at Porsche on Twitter for calling the Porsche Taycan a Turbo, which stoked the perceived rivalry between the two automakers.

Porsche's Taycan, while a competitor with Tesla's vehicles when it comes to specs, is far from being comparably priced. The cheaper Taycan Turbo starts at $153,510, while the Turbo S clocks in at a whopping $187,610. Tesla's cheapest option, the Model 3, meanwhile, starts at $38,990. A fully loaded Model S can top out at nearly $115,000. A Model X with all the options can climb to nearly $130,000.

Tesla will also have a slight advantage when it comes to overall speeds, with the Model S topping out at 163 mph, compared with Porsche's top speeds of 161 mph for both vehicles. Tesla's range — estimated at 345 to 370 miles by the US Environmental Protection Agency — is also likely to top Porsche, which says the Taycan Turbo S will have a range of up to 256 miles, while the Taycan Turbo will have a range of up to 280 miles.

Your iPad's IP address is one of the most important bits of information about your device. It's how the internet identifies your iPad, and is usually assigned arbitrarily by your router or DHCP.

However, in some cases, an IP address can be a permanent non-changing number manually assigned by an administrator.

Regardless of how it is assigned, the IP address is a series of numbers, e.g. 123.56.447.9.

Your web-surfing habits (from shopping to searching to emailing) are all connected to your IP address. To troubleshoot network issues, you may need your IP address, and there are other uses for your IP address as well.

Here's how to find your iPad's IP address.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

How to find the IP address on an iPad

1. Open your Settings app.

2. Tap on "Wi-Fi."

3. Tap on the network your iPad is connected to (one with a check next to it). This will pull up the information for the network and your iPad.

4. The IP address will be listed in the second box, under IPV4 address.

If you need it for something, copy the numbers and paste them elsewhere so you can pull them up quickly.

We've all heard the old adage: "It's not what you know, it's who you know." And in many ways, that idea still holds true today.

But as Lunchclub cofounder and CTO Scott Wu told Business Insider in a recent interview, he quickly learned when entering the workforce that something wasn't quite right about the networking events he was attending.

"It felt so inefficient and artificial," Wu said. "It's like you're going through this transactional affair more for the purposes of growing your network and less so about really getting to know people."

Wu and his cofounder Vladimir Novakovski — who previously worked together at the investment management software company, Addepar — teamed up to try and change the way networking typically happens.

With Lunchclub, instead of cocktail parties with numerous attendees and nametags, users can set-up one-on-one coffee or lunch meetings with people who are looking to accomplish similar goals. If someone is looking for career advice, they'll be paired with someone who can offer them mentorship. If someone just wants to brainstorm their crazy ideas, they'll pair them with someone who wants to do the same.

Wu said that he and Novakovski actually found their third co-founder — Hayley Leibson — through Lunchclub. They were looking for someone to run operations at the company and Leibson was looking to join an early startup with major upside. Leibson was already a Lunchclub power user at the time, and so the fit was just right.

"We found that not only was she super, super amazing at building communities, but also that she was excited to join something new," Wu said of Leibson, who previously founded an online network of female founders called, Women Founders Community.

Read more: The pitch decks that helped hot startups raise millions

The first time CTO told us that the real "secret sauce" behind Lunchclub is the data his team uses to make connections. That data is comprised of public information from social networks (namely, Twitter and Linkedin), information users provide at setup regarding their goals for using Lunchclub, and user feedback from the coffee or lunch meeting they have already attended. Wu said that early on, the team used to make these connections manually, but that now the process is totally automated.

Each Monday, a user will receive an email that asks them how many Lunchclub meetings they want that week, which times work best, and which areas of the city would be most convenient to meet. Twenty-four hours later, they receive their matches with a personalized introduction.

Wu told us that the decision for Lunchclub itself to make the matches for users is an "important feature" of the product.

"There's no swiping aspect. You receive the match from Lunchclub and you're expected to take that meeting," Wu said. "I think that's a very important feature of it. A lot of the swiping culture I think has led to much more transactional and much less genuine [interactions] and a lot of the networks that build around that, you can see the effect."

Notably, Lunchclub is meant to foster professional relationships, Wu said, and so using the service for dating purposes isn't supported. Also, today, there is no cost to use Lunchclub. In the future, Wu said his team will consider offering an enterprise service where companies pay for connections to qualified candidates.

Currently, Lunchclub is available in seven major cities, including San Francisco, New York, LA, and London. And recently, to help grow its team and expand its services even further, the San Francisco-based startup raised a $4 million seed funding round led by the Silicon Valley powerhouse VC firm, Andreessen Horowitz. In total, Lunchclub has raised over $5 million from investors.

Here's the pitch deck that helped Lunchclub raise millions to help build the professional networking platform of the future (some sensitive data has been redacted):

Disney bought Marvel in 2009 for $4 billion, but it may not have happened if it weren't for Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.

In a Vanity Fair excerpt from Bob Iger's new book, "The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company," the Disney CEO recalled his friendship with Jobs and revealed how Jobs had an essential role in pushing Marvel Disney's way.

READ MORE: Disney CEO Bob Iger believes that Disney and Apple would likely have combined if Steve Jobs were still alive

"In 2009, after our very successful acquisition of Pixar, we were interested in acquiring Marvel, so I met with Steve and walked him through the business," Iger said. "He claimed to have never read a comic book in his life ('I hate them more than I hate video games,' he told me), so I brought an encyclopedia of Marvel characters with me to explain the universe to him and show him what we would be buying. He spent about 10 seconds looking at it, then pushed it aside and said, 'Is this one important to you? Do you really want it? Is it another Pixar?'"

Jobs was the majority shareholder of Pixar, which Disney acquired in 2006. He was also a board member of The Walt Disney Company.

"I told [Jobs] that I wasn't sure if it was another Pixar, but they had great talent at the company, and the content was so rich that if we held the IP, it would put some real distance between us and everyone else," Iger said.

Iger said that he asked Jobs to reach out to Marvel's chairman and former CEO Ike Perlmutter to "vouch for me."

"Later, after we'd closed the deal, Ike told me that he'd still had his doubts and the call from Steve made a big difference," Iger said. "'He said you were true to your word,' Ike said. I was grateful that Steve was willing to do it as a friend, really, more than as the most influential member of our board."

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grossed over $22.5 billion worldwide over 23 movies (the first few of which were distributed by Paramount). It's safe to say the deal paid off and then some.

If you've had your eye on Beats headphones, but don't want to shell out $300, Amazon and Best Buy have the deal for you. Both retailers currently have the Beats Solo3 wireless on-ear headphones on sale for $170 off, bringing the price down to $129.99.

What do you get for $129.99? The bragging rights of owning a pair of Beats, for one. But you'll also get premium sound quality that's well worth the original price point — which makes $129 an absolute steal.

The best thing about the Solo3 is the sound. It's "incredibly crisp and clear," according to our full review, especially at high volume. It also delivers bass that's strong, but not overpowering.

In addition, the headset delivers 40 hours of battery life from a single charge and juices up three hours in around five minutes. It also has intuitive buttons for playing, pausing, and skipping songs, and is super easy to pair with an iPhone.

Overall, the Solo3 wireless are excellent headphones at a solid price point. We don't know how long Amazon and Best Buy will offer this deal, so make sure to pick up a pair as soon as possible if you're interested.

Volocopter's flying air taxi has made its official urban flight debut at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, on September 14.

The German-based urban air mobility provider has a goal of making city transportation safe, quiet, and emission-free by creating "air taxis" and an urban mobility ecosystem according to the company. The flying air-taxi startup received a $30 million investment from Daimler in 2017 and completed a $55.3 million funding round from Geely in 2019, according to The Verge.

The VoloCity, which is set to become Voloctoper's first commercially licensed vehicle, can accommodate two people and hand luggage. It has a range of about 22 miles (35 kilometers), and an airspeed of about 63 mph (110 kmh).

Its 18 motors are powered by nine rechargeable batteries that can be swapped in about five minutes, which can help to minimize downtime. Its makers also claim the vehicle is quiet because the 19 rotors all operate in a "narrow frequency band" that sounds twice as loud as a single rotor.

Volocopter also plans on opening a "VoloPort" in Singapore by the end of the year. VoloPort will function similarly to an airport where passengers can check into their flights and spend time in lounges while waiting to enter the takeoff and landing grounds. There will also be an operations and services center where the air vehicles can be maintained.

Take a look at what may become the future or mobile air mobility:

In a Vanity Fair excerpt from Bob Iger's new book, "The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company," the Disney CEO got candid about his friendship and business relationship with Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.

Jobs died in 2011, but Iger said that if Jobs were still alive, there's the possibility that the two mega companies, Apple and Disney, would have become one.

"With every success the company has had since Steve's death, there's always a moment in the midst of my excitement when I think, I wish Steve could be here for this," Iger wrote. "It's impossible not to have the conversation with him in my head that I wish I could be having in real life. More than that, I believe that if Steve were still alive, we would have combined our companies, or at least discussed the possibility very seriously."

Jobs was a board member of The Walt Disney Company and majority shareholder of the animation studio Pixar, which Disney acquired in 2006.

An Apple-Disney merger would be "the largest deal of all time," according to CNBC. Apple is worth more than $1 trillion and was the first company to ever reach that mark. Disney's market value is $246 billion.

But Jobs' feelings about Disney's culture could have made a merger difficult. Earlier in the excerpt, Iger reminisced about Jobs' frustrations with Disney.

"Among his many frustrations was a feeling that it was often too difficult to get anything done with Disney," Iger said. "Every agreement needed to be vetted and analyzed to within an inch of its life, and that's not how he worked. I wanted him to understand that I didn't work that way, either, that I was empowered to make a call, and that I was eager to figure out this future together, and to do so quickly."

Because of that attitude, and other factors, Iger expected Jobs to react negatively when Iger proposed the idea of Disney buying Pixar. But he didn't.

"I waited for him to hang up or to erupt in laughter," Iger recalled. "The quiet before his response seemed endless. Instead, he said, 'You know, that's not the craziest idea in the world.'"

Jobs was ultimately satisfied with the Pixar merger, according to Iger.

In the excerpt, Iger recounted a conversation with Jobs close to the end of his life. "Look what we did," Jobs said, according to Iger. "We saved two companies."

"The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company" will be released on September 23.

So you've reached 16 users on your PlayStation 4 and there's no room left to add another? Or maybe you simply don't use a few of your old accounts, and there's no reason to keep your PS4's hard drive cluttered.

Whatever the reason for deleting a user account off your PlayStation 4, the process is straightforward and should only take two minutes.

Spend a moment making sure you really do want to delete a PS4 account before doing so, though, as all of the saved data and screenshots stored on the console will be erased. You'll also lose every digital download you made with that account, including games and applications, unless you've also downloaded them on another account.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

PlayStation 4 (From $299.99 at Best Buy)

How to delete a PlayStation 4 user account

1. Sign into the primary account on your PS4 console.

2. Scroll up to the "Function area," which is a long row of different icons, just above your games and applications.

3. Scroll to the right side of the row, and select "Settings," which looks like a white silhouette of a toolbox.

4. In Settings, select the "Parental Controls/Family Management" tab.

5. Select the "Family Management" option.

6. Select the profile you want to delete from under the "Family Members" heading.

7. Choose "Delete User Profile" and then follow the prompts to confirm your choice.

And just like that, the PS4 will forget that user account ever existed.

Going to the same gym every day offers much-needed consistency and reliability, but it can also get boring after a few months, or it's simply not possible due to travel or busy schedules. When your weekly schedule resembles less of a regimented schedule and more of a free-flowing string of events, meetings, and life happenings, it's unlikely that you're able to commit to a single gym or gym chain.

POPiN is a free app for anyone who wants variety and flexibility in their workout routine, whether out of preference or necessity. It lets you "pop in" to any participating gym (currently only in New York City) and only pay for the time you're there, down to the minute.

Gyms usually charge a monthly or yearly fee for unlimited access to its facilities, but this design isn't ideal if you don't want to or can't visit the same gym often. With POPiN, you can skip the expensive daily passes or annual memberships, and work out on your own time. The app charges you for every minute you're in the gym and you can visit as many of its participating gyms as you want, making it a flexible, affordable, and commitment-free way to stay fit.

Always a fan of services that address the growing population of people who aren't tied down to traditional physical spaces, I downloaded POPiN to give it a try.

This is what it was like to use the app.

First, browse POPiN's selection of participating gyms and view detailed information about each one to see which one you want to visit.

POPiN

You can search directly by gym name or location, and filter by price and amenities. For each gym, you'll be able to view:

Once you arrive at the gym, pull up the app and scan the QR code at the front desk, which should have an iPad ready with the corresponding code.

POPiN

The clock starts ticking once you've checked in. Rates range from $0.14 to $0.35 per minute depending on the gym, which means you can spend as little as $8.40 per hour for your workout.

POPiN

After you check out at the end of your workout by scanning your app at the front desk again, you'll immediately see a summary of how much time you spent and how much will be charged to the card on your account. You can also rate your experience to help other users choose a gym.

While I'm a creature of habit, I still appreciate variety and flexibility in my life. POPiN's design fulfilled that need.

I saw that one of the gyms was less than half a mile away from my office, so one day after work I popped in and took a great spin class for only $10. Another night, I had plans to go a concert but the venue was halfway between my office and apartment, and I didn't want to waste time traveling back and forth. I found a gym a few blocks away from the concert venue, squeezed a short workout in, and paid an accordingly small price.

I loved that I could try out new gyms without the commitment of paying for a membership and get a sense of which ones I would return to in the future. I could enjoy the best parts of each gym rather than commit to only one gym chain.

Premium gyms can cost $140 a month, but I don't necessarily need premium services all the time, and I'm a girl on a budget. I like running outside and doing at-home workouts as well, so POPiN served as an excellent, affordable way to fill in the gaps with classes and weight training.

The app also emphasizes that time truly is money. Knowing that I was paying by the minute, I was hyper-aware of the quality of my workout and didn't waste time scrolling through my phone or dawdling like I normally would. Each action or repetition felt more intentional — it'd be wasteful otherwise.

One feature that wasn't immediately intuitive for me was scanning my app before leaving the gym. I'm used to simply walking out the doors after a workout, especially if I'm tired and operating on auto-pilot. However, if you forget to check out and don't realize until two hours later like I did, you can just email POPiN's support team to resolve the issue. Don't worry: You won't have to pay $60 for your mistake.

The flexibility and affordability of POPiN might remind you of popular service ClassPass, but they differ in a few key areas.

ClassPass is a membership that gives access to only studio fitness classes (e.g. spin, barre), has cancellation fees, and is available nationwide. Meanwhile, POPiN doesn't require a commitment, gives access to gym equipment, facilities, and classes (though the classes are not at dedicated studios), has no cancellation fees, and is only available in New York City for the time being.

If you are a hardcore studio class enthusiast, ClassPass is probably a better service for you. But if you want even more flexibility and like to work out through a variety of methods, you should try POPiN.

With POPiN, I could make gym time work with my life instead of the other way around, and it changed the way I valued each workout.

WeWork's board of directors includes former officials at Coach, Goldman Sachs, and Uber, along with top private equity and venture capital executives. And their job of advising and holding cofounder and CEO Adam Neumann accountable just became even more critical.

The office-rental firm is delaying the timeline for its initial public offering plan amid a wave of criticism in recent weeks, including complaints over a deal under which the company paid Neumann $5.9 million for use of the word "We." That arrangement was reversed earlier this month.

WeWork also made headlines when the firm revealed there were no women on its seven-member board of directors. The company quickly amended its federal filing to include one female: Harvard Business School professor Frances Frei. In the filing, WeWork said it plans to add additional directors after the IPO to create a more diverse group.

Neumann stills retains control of the company, even after a decline in the number of his votes per share. The change was part of a sweeping revision to its IPO filing to address investor concerns over how WeWork will be controlled after the public offering. Among them is a shift to give the board the power to remove Neumann. His wife — Rebekah Paltrow Neumann — will also no longer be involved in determining the next CEO.

Below are the board members' connections to WeWork, plus some — but not all — their professional highlights.
