According to a video posted by Musk Wednesday afternoon, the billionaire was given a tour of Apple’s headquarters by company CEO Tim Cook. Musk thanked the tech mogul for showing him the “beautiful HQ.” In a following tweet, Musk said the two shared “good conversation” during his visit. “Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store,” Musk posted. “Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so....

No one can know what is in Musk’s head when he’s firing off tweets in the middle of the night. But it’s fairly certain in this instance, given he had a “cyberwhistle” specially made for the occasion, Musk’s intention was to mock would-be whistleblowers, subtly threaten them against coming forward, or demonstrate his conviction that nothing could bring him down. Perhaps it’s all of the above. It’s not a coincidence that the tweet came out a few days before Tesla was publicly accused by insiders at the company of misrepresenting its vehicles’ autonomous driving capabilities, causing a dozen accidents and one fatality....

The sword has more of a story behind it than most accessories. It was made by MSCHF, the Brooklyn-based art collective who made headlines earlier this year with “Satan Shoes”—the notorious sneaker collaboration with rapper/singer Lil Nas X that featured a bronze pentagram and an inverted cross containing a drop of actual human blood. On top of that, the sword was forged from a melted-down semi-automatic rifle. “Turning a gun into a sword is side-cycling, where the output is just as desirable, but no longer deleterious to society,” MSCHF Chief Revenue Officer Daniel Greenberg told Newsweek via email....

Musk has filed an amended Twitter holdings report with the Securities and Exchange Commission that stipulates he “may express his views to the Board and/or members of the Issuer’s management team and/or the public through social media or other channels with respect to the Issuer’s business, products and service offerings.” The news came after Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said Monday that Musk had decided he will not be joining Twitter’s board, despite saying last week he planned to do so....

The silver-backed chevrotain (Tragulus versicolor) is a small species of ungulate—a diverse group of mammals with hooves which includes deer, horses, camels, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, giraffes, hippos, rhinos and many others—that is only known to live in Vietnam. Prior to the latest findings, the last recorded silver-backed chevrotain was a specimen killed by a hunter in 1990. However, a team of scientists has now photographed a living individual of the species in the wild, proving that that the long lost animal has not been wiped out, according to a study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution....

RYAN: There are exceptional managers in October, the leaders who captain their ship and navigate through the treacherous waters that are postseason baseball. Or, so says the narrative. But do managers really have that much of an impact? Is it all about the players on the field, or do the skippers pulling the strings make a huge difference? When it comes to in-game decision-making, I’ve always kind of looked at managers along the same lines as kick returners in football, with the “do no harm” theory....

As the hoarfrost settles across your eyebrows and icy stalactites form from your nostrils, warm yourself with the light of a log fire in your terminal, or embrace the weather with a CLI rainstorm. Why Would You Want a Roaring Fire in Your Terminal? Even wizened old terminal dwellers occasionally like to get into the Christmas spirit. Even if you’re not religious, you can cheer up a cold room with the virtual cracking wood and the heat emanating from your laboring CPU fans as you compile another project in a different terminal....

Deus Ex GO developer, Studio Onoma, formerly Square Enix Montreal, was renamed after Embracer Group purchased it earlier this year, along with a host of other studios. However, Studio Onoma specialized in mobile efforts, and Embracer stated that it planned to shift away from mobile and focus instead on console games. As a result, Studio Onoma was shut down in early November. Until recently, the fate of its games has been in question, many of which are part of popular franchises, like Deus Ex GO....

The restaurant, set to open at 5 p.m. on September 29 in downtown Detroit, has an attached shop called “The Trailer” that’s billed as “a store for Stans”—a reference to another Eminem hit, “Stan,” and the slang term for enthusiastic fans it inspired. The restaurant is reportedly the result of a partnership with the local restaurant group Union Joints. A pop-up version of the restaurant debuted at the city’s Shelter basement club in 2017, according to The Detroit News....

During the past four months, though the observation decks have been closed, the Empire State Building has used its iconic exterior lights to stand in solidarity with those fighting on the frontlines against the virus. From nightly light shows that pulse to imitate a heartbeat to its participation in the international #HeroesShineBright campaign honoring first responders, the Empire State Building has been a beacon of light during the city’s dark days....

Both pairs of wolves were raised at the Ladder Ranch in New Mexico and released in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The pairs were named “Manada del Arroyo” and “Manada del Gavilan,” or “Creek Pack” and “Hawk Pack”. Mexican wolves are a subspecies of gray wolves once abundant in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, with their range stretching from the Sierra Madre mountains in Arizona to central Mexico. However, their numbers plummeted in the 19th and 20th centuries as a result of hunting....

Eighty-three Senators voted in favor of the bill, while just 11 opposed it. One of those 11 was instrumental in putting the bill together: Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts....

Musk engaged in the Twitter spat with Warren on Tuesday, one day after the senator shared an article about the billionaire being named Time magazine’s person of the year. Warren tweeted that the “rigged tax code” should be changed “so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else.” The world’s richest person responded to the senator by tweeting a 2019 Fox News opinion article calling the then-presidential candidate a “fraud” while maintaining that she had spread “lies about being Native American” in order “to benefit from affirmative action or other preferential programs....

The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is well known for his daily presence on Twitter, often posting memes or general observations that typically garner hundreds of thousands of likes. Musk’s tweets have even landed him in hot water in the past when he was forced to settle a securities charge by agreeing to step down as Tesla’s chairman and agreeing to pay a $20 million penalty to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because of a tweet about Tesla’s share price that led to “significant market disruption....
