So, it happened again — you clicked on a YouTube video intending to watch that one clip of a standup routine, and suddenly it's 45 minutes later and you're watching the 23rd video delivered to you via YouTube autoplay.

The autoplay feature on YouTube will automatically play a new video after the one you're watching is over, leading you down a perpetual rabbit hole of recommendations and nonstop content. Sometimes, this might be a good way to discover new videos, but it can also suggest videos you don't want to watch. 

Whether a time thief or an annoyance, YouTube's autoplay feature is often best switched off.

Fortunately, that's easy to do on a computer and on the mobile app. Here's how to do it. 

How to turn off autoplay on YouTube on your computer

Turning off YouTube autoplay on a desktop or laptop could not be easier. 

While you are watching a video, click on the blue dot beside the word "AUTOPLAY" above the column of video thumbnail images on the right side of the screen.

You can always click the gray dot to turn autoplay back on.

How to turn off autoplay on YouTube on your mobile device

To turn off autoplay in the YouTube mobile app, tap on your profile image (or your avatar) in the top right corner of the screen. 

Then hit "Settings," and finally, on the next menu, scroll down and tap the slider beside the words "Autoplay next video."

You can tap the slider again to turn autoplay back on in the YouTube mobile app. 

As the Akademik Lomonosov sailed across the Arctic Ocean toward a remote region of Russia earlier this month, its freshly-painted exterior bore the signature red, white, and blue colors of the nation's flag. 

The vessel is the world's first floating nuclear power plant, complete with two loaded nuclear reactors. It reached the port of Pevek, an Arctic town across from Alaska, on September 14. From there, it will start generating enough electricity for an estimated 100,000 homes.

The plant could spur other nations to acquire floating nuclear power plants of their own, but environmentalists worry about the safety of such facilities. Under extreme circumstances, some activists have said, an environmental disaster such as a tsunami could trigger a nuclear explosion at sea.

Nuclear experts at the environmental nonprofit Greenpeace have dubbed the floating plant "Chernobyl on ice," a reference to the 1986 nuclear disaster that led to widespread contamination across Europe.

Take a look at how the world's first floating nuclear power plant came to life.

Supermodel Miranda Kerr and Snap CEO Evan Spiegel have a combined estimated net worth of nearly $3.75 billion.

Kerr, who now runs her own organic skincare company, is estimated to have a net worth of a cool $45 million. Her husband, Spiegel, is one of three self-made billionaires in the world under the age of 30, according to Forbes.

In 2016, Kerr and Spiegel bought a $12 million Los Angeles mansion together, but the power couple also exercises their wealth by prioritizing health and wellness.

In an interview for the summer edition of NewBeauty magazine that's currently making waves on Twitter, Kerr said she was always interested in health and wellness: "I grew up that way — there was always the philosophy that health was wealth. I grew up in a tiny country town in Australia called Gunnedah in a family that was, and still is, very health-conscious."

And if the interview is any indication, she takes her household's health seriously indeed. Kerr told NewBeauty she likes picking the pH of their water ("You don't want to be going to alkaline because you do need a little stomach acid to digest your food"); diffusing essential oils throughout the house; and mopping the floors with hot water and eucalyptus oil ("It's good for the wood and it's antibacterial. It also smells really nice").

The couple goes as far as turning off the power in their home at night, eliminating WiFi and electricity during sleeping hours. As Business Insider's Nick Bastone previously reported, they also limit their 7-year-old's time in front of screens, a practice many Silicon Valley parents are now favoring.

Kerr also noted in the interview that she has an electromagnetic field detector, and had their home inspected by a professional who looks for EMF waves. The World Health Organization has deemed this health practice excessive, concluding that "current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic fields."

Representatives for Kerr didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider on the couple's wellness practices.

As Business Insider's Hillary Hoffower previously reported, "Luxury goods are out, and luxury lifestyles are in." These lifestyles are largely marked by discreet wealth: Rather than spending money on fancy cars and logo-ridden accessories, the wealthy are investing in education, security, and wellness. 

Spiegel and Kerr are far from the only wealthy Silicon Valley residents who are known to have extreme habits when it comes to health, wellness, and diet.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is said to eat only one meal a day during the week and to abstain from eating almost all weekend, only eating a meal on Sunday evening. Tesla founder Elon Musk is said to work out twice a day. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg avoids cluttering his thoughts by wearing the same outfit of jeans, sneakers, and a gray T-shirt every single day.

These health practices all fit into the trend of health serving as a status symbol, and it doesn't stop at Silicon Valley. Millennials are pouring their money into expensive gym memberships and dishing out serious cash for boutique fitness classes.

Meanwhile, developers too, are taking note: New luxury apartment buildings across the US are foregoing flashy amenities like car-carrying elevators and instead focusing on amenities that promote healthy lifestyles, like outdoor yoga decks, private parks, and so-called tranquility gardens.

Amazon just launched a virtual primary care clinic, called Amazon Care, the latest sign of the giant retailer's growing ambitions in healthcare. 

On Tuesday, the company launched the program on the website Amazon.care. Amazon Care includes video and text visits with clinicians, as well as in-home care. The program is described as a new benefit for employees of the company and is a pilot project in the Seattle area. CNBC's Christina Farr first reported on the launch of the program.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that the company is testing Amazon Care and said the aim is to give employees quicker access to care without the need for an appointment.

"The benefit is currently in pilot form for a population of employees in the Greater Seattle area and we're looking forward to helping build and scale the benefit to meet the needs of more employees in the months and years ahead," Amazon said in a memo to employees. 

Amazon's growing healthcare ambitions

Amazon, led by CEO Jeff Bezos, has been expanding in healthcare, and separately partnered with JPMorgan and Berkshire Hathaway on an effort to improve care for their workers, called Haven. In June 2018, Amazon acquired the online pharmacy PillPack for $750 million.

Read more: Companies like Walmart, CVS, and Amazon are beefing up their healthcare strategies. Here are their plans to upend the $3.5 trillion industry.

Lance Wilkes, an analyst at Bernstein, said in a note that Amazon is disrupting the healthcare industry in multiple ways: as an online pharmacy, by selling medical products,  and as a "digital enabler of of healthcare." Wilkes said that telemedicine is a natural fit for the tech giant.

CNBC previously reported that Amazon was working on an employee health clinic based in Seattle. The discussions for the clinic began last summer with a few hires, including a Seattle doctor who ran primary care clinics in Seattle. Apple also has its own clinics, AC Wellness, which are based near its headquarters.

Colds, allergies, and infections

On its website, Amazon Care says it can offer help for colds, allergies, infections and minor injuries. Preventive health consults are offered along with vaccines and lab work. Amazon has partnered with Oasis Medical Group P.C. to provide these services, according to its website

Amazon's health efforts could also potentially overlap with Haven, Wilkes said. The idea is to make primary care access easier, insurance benefits simpler to understand and use, and to make prescription drugs more affordable, Haven's website reads.

Wilkes said digital health could be a key means to ensure the goals come to fruition.

When it comes to getting directions, accuracy is everything. So when your GPS is having a hard time identifying your location, things can get frustrating — fast. 

If you use Google Maps, there are ways to improve the accuracy: calibrating the compass so it points in the correct direction, for instance, or turning on high-accuracy mode on your Android phone. 

There are several ways to get better directions and results while using the Google Maps app on your Android phone, as we detail below.  

If you have an iPhone, however, the below methods won't work, so you should try restarting your phone or enabling Wi-Fi to improve the accuracy of your Google Maps app.

How to calibrate Google Maps with settings on an Android phone

Compass calibration

If you open your Google Maps app and see that the blue dot is pointing in the wrong direction, or is in the wrong location, calibration can help you get a more accurate reading. Here's how to do it on an Android phone:

1. Go into your Google Maps app, if it's not already open.

2. While holding your phone, move your hand in a figure eight motion — you should see the beam narrow as you go. Keep in mind it may take a few times for this to work.

Turning on high-accuracy mode

High-accuracy mode is a helpful tool in getting your Google Maps app up to speed. But keep in mind that this method only works if you have an Android:

3. Open your device's Settings app.

4. Tap "Location." Depending on your device, it may also be labeled as "Security and Location"

5. Switch on the location setting, if necessary.

6. Tap "Mode."

7. Select "High Accuracy."

How to calibrate Google Maps on an iPhone or Android with other basic fixes

There aren't as many fancy tricks to fix Google Maps on an iPhone.

First, you should turn on Wi-Fi on your phone. You don't need to connect to a network, you just need to turn on the setting. On both iPhone and Android, turning on Wi-Fi will make Google Maps more accurate, as it scans nearby Wi-Fi signals to locate you.

If that doesn't work, try restarting your iPhone or Android. Your phone's GPS sensors may simply need to be rebooted. For more information on how to restart an iPhone, see our article, "How to restart and force-restart any iPhone model."

Finally, on an iPhone specifically, make sure that location services are turned on. To do this:

1. Open your Settings app and go to the "Privacy" tab.

2. At the top of the Privacy screen, tap "Location Services."

3. Make sure that the switch at the top of the next screen is flipped to the right, and is colored green. If it's not, tap it.

4. Scroll down to your list of apps until you find Google Maps, and tap on it.

5. On the next screen, select either "While Using the App" or "Always." This will allow the Google Maps app to access your precise location faster.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave a bizarre speech about technology at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, during which he haphazardly drew on big tech news stories, literature, and pop-culture to present dystopian and utopian views of technology.

The speech came after Johnson suffered a major blow back in the UK, as the supreme court ruled his suspension of parliament to be unlawful.

Read more: Boris Johnson told to resign following Supreme Court defeat and become the "shortest-serving prime minister ever"

To evoke a future where algorithmic inscrutability and bias could persecute people, Johnson turns to the British sketch programme "Little Britain." The programme had a character whose catchphrase was "computer says no" whenever she apathetically failed to help customers.

This is a reference to the "Terminator" films, but exactly why Johnson descibes the Terminators as "pink-eyed" is not clear.

The "limbless chickens" could be a reference to the growing number of lab-grown meat companies, or it could have taken inspiration from Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel "Oryx and Crake," in which chicken breasts are cultivated genetically engineered organisms called chickienobs, which have no heads or limbs.

Here is the Guardian's cut of some of Johnson's moments from the speech:

Johnson countered his more Orwellian imagery with utopian examples of how technology can help humankind, and concluded by announcing a summit in London next year — although he gave no details about it.

Boris Johnson's relationship with the London tech scene is currently under some scrutiny.

His links to tech entrepreneur Jennifer Arcuri has come under scrutiny after the Sunday Times revealed that Johnson overruled officials while the Mayor of London to send Arcuri on foreign trade missions.

If Samsung's $2,000 Galaxy Fold wasn't already a luxury smartphone because of its price tag, the new service you get with the Galaxy Fold 2.0 should solidify its status as a high-end item. 

Samsung is now offering a 24/7 concierge customer support service exclusively for Galaxy Fold users called "Galaxy Fold Premier Service." It lasts for the lifetime of the phone at no extra cost.

The Galaxy Fold Premier Service gives you "direct access to Samsung experts who can provide you tailored guidance and support over the phone any time, any day," Samsung said about the service in a blog post. You also get the option of a "one-on-one onboarding session to walk you through every innovation packed into the Galaxy Fold and demonstrate how best to navigate this revolutionary device."

Samsung says a Galaxy Fold support agent will come to you anywhere, whether it's at home, your office office, or a coffee shop, to show you how do something on the Galaxy Fold or work through an issue you might be having. 

Read more: Xiaomi's new smartphone concept has a screen that wraps almost all the way around the phone's body, and it makes even brand-new smartphones look old-fashioned.

Still, that doesn't mean that all repairs for the Galaxy Fold are covered. 

You still have a one-year warranty with the Galaxy Fold. Within that year, you get one free screen repair. It's not exactly clear what other items are included in the warranty. 

Once the warranty expires, Samsung is also offering a one-time $150 screen replacement when the usual cost of an out-of-warranty screen repair costs $600. After you use up that one-time screen repair offer, screen repairs will cost $600. Other repairs, whether they were included in the warranty or not, will also cost you. 

If you want extended coverage beyond the one-year-warrant for the Galaxy Fold, you'll have to sign up for Samsung's $12-per-month Premium Care service.

Peter Thiel's Founders Fund prides itself on being a venture-capital firm that operates as nimbly as the startups that it backs. Anyone at the firm can scout out interesting companies to invest in, and — as long as there's consensus — make a commitment to fund the startup.

That lets the Founders Fund move quickly when it sees the right opportunity. And on Tuesday, the Fund announced its first-ever investment in cybersecurity, in a deal that it says came together in the span of one week. 

The Founders Fund is coleading with Lightspeed Venture Partners a $37 million funding round in Arceo.ai, a San Francisco startup that analyzes the cybersecurity risks that businesses face. The startup, founded by two cybersecurity-industry veterans, recently came out of stealth mode.

"One of the things that makes Founders Fund unique is that we don't have a thesis," Founders Fund partner Trae Stephens, who led the Arceo.ai deal for Founders Fund, told Business Insider. "Once it becomes a thesis or a category, it's too late. We'd rather invest in an exceptional founder with a hard business rather than an average founder with a great business."

Read more: Founders Fund made its first alcohol investment. Here's how the 28-year old woman who founded the company is trying to change drinking culture for the better.

According to Stephens, Arceo.ai cofounders and co-CEOs Raj Shah and Vishaal Hariprasad fit the bill. The former US Air Force pilots had started two prior companies together and were tackling the murky territory of enterprise cybersecurity-risk analysis.

"They have lived and breathed the security mission in every aspect of their lives, having spent time at the defense innovation unit," Stephens said. "If you are a business, you know you should be spending to defend yourself, but it's not clear how. Insurance ends up being a really important piece of the puzzle, and in cyber, that was never figured out. Raj and [Vishaal] both have a great sense of how that works and are the types of people you would expect to build a good company in this space."

The pair developed a risk model using public and private data from attacks on different businesses in various industries and shared their findings with insurance companies. They told Business Insider that Arceo.ai worked with a variety of insurance carriers to provide better enterprise cyber coverage based on their models.

Hariprasad told Business Insider that theft of usernames and passwords was a threat many businesses were just starting to wake up to. Multifactor authentication is a preventative measure that is fairly easy to implement but hasn't seen the broad adoption Hariprasad expected. He says Arceo.ai educates chief information security officers (CISO) about the benefits of multifactor authentication and the insurance provider could offer discounts to businesses that take action based on Arceo.ai's recommendations.

"The insurance industry helped mitigate fires as a business risk in the 1800s," Shah told Business Insider. "It was an existential threat to the business then, but now no one really worries about it. We aspire to enable that in the cyber world so businesses can sleep more soundly."

The $37 million in venture capital is the second round of funding for Arceo.ai, whose existing investors include Lightspeed and CRV. Both firms ultimately joined this funding round as well.

As an early employee at Thiel's secretive data-mining company Palantir and a former public sector cybersecurity employee, Stephens said he's seen insurance become a larger portion of the cybersecurity equation over the past 10 years. He said it was "irresponsible" for a business to forgo cyber insurance that could protect them from losses stemming from ransomware or spear-phishing attacks. Since those policies are still in development, Arceo.ai could have a major role in shaping the entire industry, he added.

"Ten years ago if you asked an enterprise CISO what their defensive posture was, there was a general idea that we could spend money and developer time to ensure networks are protected against threats and that was it," Stephens said. "What you hear now is there is no amount of money or time we could spend because it is nearly impossible to defend against all these threats, so we need a multifaceted approach that didn't exist a decade ago."

According to Stephens, Founders Fund is the only major venture firm that hasn't made a significant bet in cybersecurity, and he attributed that to an oversaturated market without a clear direction before Shah and Hariprasad entered the scene.

"Most of the cybersecurity industry is doing more of the same, so you get an idea pretty quickly that nobody actually knows what they're doing," Stephens said. "If they did, there would be like five companies, not 2,000 that all are selling the same thing. The glut of companies out there demonstrates that everyone disagrees about the right way to do it."

Apple's latest, and highly anticipated, operating system for iPhone 6S and higher, iOS 13, has many new features that have proved useful, and disappointing.

One of its more convenient features is the ability to change your Wi-Fi network from an iPhone's Control Center — without having to go through Settings, the main previous method. 

Control Center can be accessed by swiping down on the top right-hand corner of the screen on your iPhone X or later (or from the bottom of the screen on older models), whether it is locked or not. 

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

How to change your Wi-Fi network in the Control Center on an iPhone with iOS 13

1. Tap the screen of your iPhone to wake it up.  

2. Swipe down on the top right-hand corner of the screen on an iPhone X or later, or up from the bottom of your screen on an earlier iPhone running iOS 13. It doesn't matter if your iPhone is locked or unlocked. 

3. Find the Wi-Fi icon. 

4. Tap and hold firmly until a new screen pops up. 

5. Find the Wi-Fi icon once again, and press and hold firmly. 

6. A list of Wi-Fi networks will appear in a list. Scroll to find the network you wish to connect to, and select. 

7. A checkmark will appear next to the network's name once you are connected. 

If you're connecting to a new Wi-Fi network for your iPhone and is not public, you will be required to enter a password. 

After selecting the private Wi-Fi network, a new screen will prompt you to enter the password. Once you've done that, tap Join in the upper right-hand corner. 

With a high-paying job and stock options, odds are you're looking to buy a house.

The San Francisco housing market is one of the most expensive in the country, and most high-end buyers share certain demands for the money they're shelling out.

According to Deniz Kahramaner, founder of a newly founded data-focused real estate brokerage called Atlasa, tech millionaires tend to favor the Noe Valley/Mission Dolores area, or the Presidio Heights/Russian Hill area.

So far in 2019, senior executives from Google, JUUL Labs, Postmates, and other firms have purchased homes in the Pacific Heights and Russian Hill areas. Executives at DoorDash, Lyft, Instagram, and more have bought homes in Mission Dolores, Noe Valley, and Eureka Valley, according to Kahramaner.

Kahramaner explained that tech millionaires are drawn to properties with historic charm, like Edwardian and Victorian-style homes, but with modern upgrades. They often buy homes with access to prestigious private schools as well.

Here are the main things San Francisco tech millionaires look for in a home. 

Disney's CEO Bob Iger said he stepped down from Apple's board because the two companies were increasingly coming into conflict.

In a conversation with CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday, Iger, who gave up his duties on Apple's board on September 10, said that as Apple got into creating TV shows and movies, it became clear that "our paths were conflicting rather than converging."

"I just thought it [leaving the board] was the right thing to do. The business is still relatively small for Apple, but it's meaningful for Disney, and it wasn't right," he added.

Iger's role had become increasingly complicated as Apple branched away from its core hardware business and moved into media and streaming.

The news of his resignation came days after Apple announced the release date of Apple TV Plus, its new subscription streaming service. This new service will come in direct competition with Disney's own streaming service, Disney Plus, which is slated to launch in November.

Read more: Disney CEO Bob Iger steps down from Apple's board ahead of the launch of the tech company's new streaming service

Earlier in this year, Iger told Bloomberg that he would step out of the room when the topic of Apple's streaming service came up. "So far it's been OK. I'm in constant discussion about it," he said.

Iger joined Apple's board in 2011, a month after the death of Apple's famed co-founder Steve Jobs. Jobs had previously sat on the board of Disney and when he died, Iger stepped in to replace his board position.

"I just loved my eight years on the Apple board, I learned so much," he told Cramer, adding that he hopes Disney with be associated with Apple in the future.

While texting is the most popular form of communication these days, sometimes you have so much to say that you can't fit it into a quick text message. 

Thankfully, when that's the case, your iPhone offers the ability to send voice messages to your contacts, so that they can actually hear what you have to say rather than just reading the words on the screen. 

While the feature only works when the person you're sending the voice message to is using another Apple device like an iPhone, iPad, or even a MacBook with iMessage installed, it's a quick and easy way to chat. 

Here's what you need to know about how to send a voice message. 

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

iPad (From $329.99 at Best Buy)

MacBook Pro (From $1,299.99 at Best Buy)

How to send a voice message on your iPhone

1. On your iPhone's home screen, tap the Messages app icon to open it. 

2. Either begin a new iMessage conversation by tapping the pen and paper icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Messages screen or open an existing iMessage conversation. 

3. To the right of the iMessage text box, press and hold the small microphone icon and begin recording your voice message. 

4. When finished, release the microphone button. You will then see two icons next to the message; one will be a play button shaped like a right-facing triangle, while the other will be an upward-facing arrow. 

5. Press the play button to listen to what you've just recorded, or tap the upward-facing arrow to send your voice message. 

It should be noted that, by default, voice messages are deleted two minutes after the recipient listens to them. However, you can choose to keep the message you've sent by tapping the "Keep" option beneath the media file. 

You can also change your iPhone's automatic settings to ensure your messages are kept longer on your device.

How to change the expiration length of voice messages on your iPhone

To do this, simply go to the Settings app, tap Messages, scroll down to the "Audio Messages" heading and select "Never" rather than "After 2 Minutes" within the Expire tab. 

This makes it so any voice message you send or receive won't expire on your device. Messages you send to others, however, will still expire on their devices, unless they've also changed their settings.

"Black Panther" is one of the biggest movies of all time, but it overcame obstacles to get made.

Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed in his new book, "The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned From 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company," that a Marvel executive in New York was opposed to making "Black Panther" because they thought movies led by black actors didn't perform well at the international box office. (Iger noted that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was on board from the start.)

READ MORE: Marvel's big movie and TV reveal this weekend was only a taste of its plan to dominate for years to come

"I've been in the business long enough to have heard every old argument in the book, and I've learned that old arguments are just that: old, and out of step with where the world is and where it should be," Iger wrote. "We had a chance to make a great movie and to showcase an underrepresented segment of America, and those goals were not mutually exclusive. I called [Marvel chairman] Ike [Perlmutter] and told him to tell his team to stop putting up roadblocks and ordered that we put both 'Black Panther' and 'Captain Marvel' into production."

"Black Panther," set almost entirely in Africa, was the first superhero movie to feature a predominantly black cast. "Captain Marvel" was the first Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to be headlined by a female character.

Both movies grossed over $1 billion worldwide. "Black Panther" was the highest-grossing movie domestically of 2018 with $700 million and is the 11th highest-grossing movie of all time. It won three Oscars and was nominated for best picture earlier this year.

Marvel Studios stressed that diversity will be a focus moving forward. The MCU's first movie starring an Asian superhero, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," comes to theaters in 2021 and a "Black Panther" sequel is in the works.

"When you have diverse voices, you get better stories and you get more exciting stories, you get more surprising stories," Feige told Variety last year. "And that is something that is very clear."

The embattled coworking company WeWork is reportedly unlikely to go public this year, after a disastrous month that came to a head on Tuesday when the company replaced its CEO.

Sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday that the company probably wouldn't publicly list its shares this year as planned.

WeWork filed paperwork in August for an initial public offering, kicking off a swift fall from grace in which the company once privately valued at $47 billion was said to be seeking a public valuation as low as $10 billion.

Since its IPO paperwork was released, the company's massive losses and CEO Adam Neumann's questionable business dealings, drug and alcohol use, and conflicts of interest have been scrutinized. WeWork made some changes, then announced earlier this month that it was delaying its IPO but still expected to list its shares by the end of the year.

Then on Tuesday, Neumann said the scrutiny had become a "significant distraction" amid WeWork's IPO plans and announced he was stepping down as CEO in the company's "best interest."

Read more: WeWork's had a terrible month, and now CEO Adam Neumann is stepping down — here's everything that has happened since the embattled company filed to go public

The Journal report details Neumann's final days as the head of WeWork. While some on the company's board of directors pushed to oust Neumann, the WeWork cofounder had the support of many "as of Friday and into the weekend," according to The Journal. But by Sunday, some of Neumann's biggest allies on the board had reportedly told him they were pushing for his departure, echoing concerns from SoftBank, the Japanese firm that has injected billions into WeWork.

Replacing Neumann are two WeWork executives who will serve as co-CEOs, Sebastian Gunningham and Artie Minson. The Journal reported that they were considering "a few thousand" layoffs at WeWork to help cut costs ahead of an IPO. WeWork declined to comment.

According to The Journal, in an email to staff on Tuesday, the co-CEOs said they would "closely review all aspects" of the company and told employees to expect "difficult decisions ahead."

In a new report from Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman on Monday, sources claimed WeWork cofounder and CEO Adam Neumann said Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, was his "personal banker."

Neumann also claimed that Dimon, one of the biggest names in the financial world, would leave the institution to run Neumann family's personal investment fund, according to the report.

Representatives for Neumann denied the claims to Vanity Fair, and a source close to Dimon said the executive has no plans to leave JPMorgan Chase, the report said.

Read More: JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon met with WeWork's Adam Neumann this weekend to hash out how to get its botched IPO back on track

The report comes amid revelations that Dimon and Neumann met in New York over the weekend to attempt to get the embattled startup's IPO back on track. The coworking company delayed its public offering amid investor uncertainty around the company's finances, its unusual governance structure and potential conflicts of interest with Neumann's other business interests.

JPMorgan is leading the listing, which would occur in October at the earliest because of the delay. WeWork was initially planning to list in September.

But JP Morgan also has a long history with WeWork and with Neumann. A JP Morgan fund bought a stake in the company five years ago. The bank helped Neumann when he wanted to borrow money against some of his stock. And Neumann has also borrowed almost $40 million in mortgages from the bank, Bloomberg's Sonali Basak reported.

Meanwhile, Neumann is under siege by his board of directors and investors, according to several reports. The board convened on Monday to discuss whether or not to oust Neumann, reports said, but it wasn't clear where the group landed at the end of the day.

Adam Neumann apparently thought WeWork and Apple would make for a great team.

People at Apple, however, weren't exactly convinced.

Last fall, Neumann got the bright idea that Apple would be a good partner for WeWork and could help shore up its cash balance, Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reported Monday. He thought it was such a good idea that he flew to the San Francisco Bay Area to pitch it to Luca Maestri, Apple's chief financial officer, at the iPhone maker's headquarters, Sherman reported. It's unclear what the deal would have entailed or how it would have worked, but as part of it, Apple would have made an investment in WeWork, according to the report.

Maestri and Apple turned him down, Sherman reported.

Representatives for WeWork and Apple did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

The meeting happened about the same time that Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi, the two biggest backers of SoftBank's Vision Fund, which, in turn, is the biggest bank-roller of WeWork, were souring on the real estate giant. At the time, SoftBank was considering investing an additional $16 billion in the company, but ended up putting just $1 billion directly into the company.

Read more: WeWork and Uber are giving SoftBank a black eye, but that doesn't mean Vision Fund II is in trouble, experts say

Neumann's partnership proposal with Apple was a kind of last-ditch effort to secure new funding for his company while keeping it private, an unnamed source familiar with the meeting told Sherman.

"This was the Hail Mary," the source said. "There was Adam's idea that there was some way out."

The potential deal actually was a small one, a source close to Neumann told Sherman.

The failure of the Apple meeting and the much-reduced investment from SoftBank spurred Neumann to push for an initial public offering to raise more funds, according to Sherman's report. WeWork postponed its IPO last week amid resistance from potential investors.

Facebook is acquiring the maker of an electronic wristband that it says will allow people to share photos on its social network, click a button on their computer's mouse, and perform other computing tasks simply by thinking about it.

Facebook said Monday that it plans to acquire CTRL-labs, a four-year old startup considered a pioneer in the emerging field of "brain computing," for an undisclosed sum. A report in Bloomberg said Facebook paid somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion for the company, citing anonymous sources.

"The vision for this work is a wristband that lets people control their devices as a natural extension of movement," Facebook executive Andrew Bosworth wrote in a blog post announcing the deal on Monday.

The deal marks an important step forward by Facebook in its ambition to develop brain computing technology, nearly three years after teasing its efforts at its annual developer conference and then going mostly silent. While the CTRL-labs wristband is still just a prototype and at least several years away from being a reality, Facebook's acquisition suggests that Facebook has not given up on the concept even as its core social networking business faces fierce scrutiny from government regulators and some consumers.

Facebook is among several well-funded organizations seeking to create science-fiction like products using a "brain computing" interface. In July, Elon Musk said that Neuralink, a brain computing company he founded, will be ready for human trials in 2020.

CTRL-labs, based in New York, has raised $67 million from backers including Google investing arm GV, Amazon's Alexa Fund and Lux Capital. The company describes its product as a "non-invasive neural interface platform."

CTRL-labs cofounder and CEO Thomas Reardon will be joining Facebook and will work out of New York, and the deal will include the company's intellectual property. It was not imediately clear if the rest of CTRL-labs, a company of a few dozen people, will join Facebook as part of the deal. Anyone from the team who wants to join Facebook is "absolutely being welcomed," the spokesperson told Business Insider.

CTRL-labs will become part of the Reality Labs group within Facebook that is developing projects like augmented reality glasses. Bosworth noted that the CTRL-labs technology could be especially useful in virtual reality and augmented reality applications.

The wristband will "decode" the signals sent from the neurons in a person's spinal cord that tell muscles in the body how to move. Those signals will be translated into digital signals that an electronic device can understand, Bosworth continued.

The wristband, he said, "captures your intention so you can share a photo with a friend using an imperceptible movement or just by, well, intending to."

The CTRL-labs wristband is still in the research phase and a few years away from being available to consumers, a Facebook spokesperson told Business Insider.

People are not thrilled with Amtrak's decision to begin culling traditional dining-car services from some of its long-distance routes.

A change.org petition to keep the restaurant-style service on overnight trains east of the Mississippi River had earned more than 3,000 signatures by Monday afternoon, as news of the cuts took the internet by storm.

Gene Arensen, who started the petition, said the move signaled "the end of a 100 year tradition where dining cars served meals will end, the Midwest and West Coast trains are sure to follow. And so will national rail travel, unless we speak up and be heard."

To be sure, food will still be served aboard Amtrak trains, but it may look wildly different. The newly "enhanced" and "flexible" menu will instead offer ready-to-eat meals instead of freshly prepared eggs, steak, and so on. More details on the changes can be found on Amtrak's website.

And while Amtrak's head of customer experience, Andrew Wilander, was quick to place blame for the changes on younger generations of travelers, specifically millennials, not everyone is buying his logic.

At an event in New York City last week, Amtrak's CEO, Richard Anderson, seemed to hint that more dining-car cuts could be on the way.

"We want to simplify the process," he said. "On the single-overnight, long-distance trains, we have a mandate from Congress to take the loss on the food down, and we're going to keep driving that down. The simplest way to do that is to go to a single food car and then have choice for customers."

Even novelist Neil Gaiman wasn't happy with the news.

Earlier this month, Recode reported that Googlers were pooling personal accounts of what it was like to work at the Silicon Valley giant — specifically, times that they felt they had been retaliated against for speaking out against corporate decisions or otherwise complained to management. 

On Monday, Motherboard's Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai released that collection of retaliation stories from Google employees, apparently gathered from an internal company forum.

The 45 stories recounted in the document include allegations from Googlers of being held back from promotions for reporting workplace issues, or for their involvement in organizing efforts. The stories also include instances of sexual harassment and racism they experienced at the search advertising company. 

"I identify as a LatinX female and I experienced blatant racist and sexist things from my coworker. I reported it up to where my manager knew, my director knew, the coworker's manager knew and our HR representative knew. Nothing happened," one story reads. "I was warned that 'things will get very serious if continued.' I definitely felt the theme of 'protect the man' as we so often hear about. No one protected me, the victim. I thought Google was different."

According to a current Google employee who spoke to Motherboard, the stories were collected on an internal site called "go/retaliation-stories." Googlers started posting their store after employee activists Meredith Whittaker and Claire Stapleton, known as co-organizers of the Google Walkout, publically declared they had been retaliated against, per the report.

Eileen Naughton, Google's VP of People Operations, told Business Insider on Monday that the company aims to "provide care and support to people who raise concerns." 

"Reporting misconduct takes courage and we want to provide care and support to people who raise concerns. All instances of inappropriate conduct reported to us are investigated rigorously, and over the past year we have simplified how employees can raise concerns and provided more transparency into the investigations process at Google. We work to be extremely transparent about how we handle complaints and the action we take," said Naughton's statement in full.

On May 1st, around 1,000 Google employees staged a sit-in in offices around the country to protest what they said was a pattern of retaliation against workers who speak out for change at the company. It is unclear whether the stories shared at the sit-in coincide with those leaked on Monday, though the document released by Motherboard did say that it was last updated on May 8th, which would have been shortly after the protest. 

More recently, former Googlers have spoken out about their time working at the tech giant, describing the racism they experienced at the company, and instances of retaliation for being pregnant.
