A couple walking their dog found 10 million worth of rare coins
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. It's something out of a dream or TV show: a married couple takes their dog for a walk and finds a buried treasure worth $10 million. But it actually happened, back in 2013. The treasure is the Saddle Ridge Hoard, the largest ever stash of gold coins found in the United States. The couple, who go by John and Mary in the press, have been careful to obscure their identity and the exact place where they live to prevent would-be treasure hunters from showing up on their property.

How squirrels actually find all their buried nuts
Every fall, squirrels hide hundreds of acorns--and use smell, memory, and even theft to get them back. Every fall, squirrels stash hundreds of nuts to survive the colder winter months. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. As someone who routinely "hides" things from myself--car keys, receipts, even my phone while I'm actively talking on it--I felt instantly validated by Sarah Silverman's joke that squirrels forget where they bury 80% of their nuts. "And that's how trees are planted!"

Ex-Apple employee arrested with stash of self-driving car secrets
According to Bloomberg, Zhang admitted that he downloaded Apple's driverless car files, so he could still have access to them even if he's not with the company anymore. Reuters also said that he admitted to taking hardware from the lab, because he wanted a new position within Apple and thought it could help him. Zhang designed and tested circuit boards for analyzing sensor data at Apple and was privy to top secret information about its driverless car development. He informed the company that he was permanently moving back to China to work for local EV startup Xiaopeng Motors after he got back from his paternity leave. Apple officials were quick to inform authorities of possible theft, because Zhang's supervisor noticed an increase in his network activities and discovered that he visited its HQ in the middle of his paternity leave when he was supposed to be in China.

Ex-Apple employee arrested with stash of self-driving car secrets
In a world where everyone wants a piece of the growing self-driving industry, we might have to get used to reports of betrayal and trade secret theft. US authorities have just arrested a former Apple employee for stealing the tech giant's self-driving trade secrets. Xiaolang Zhang was charged with stealing circuit boards and a computer server from Cupertino's self-driving car lab. He's also being accused of downloading a 25-page blueprint for a driverless car circuit board, which served as the basis for the criminal charge, though he reportedly downloaded some technical manuals and reports to his wife's computer, as well. According to Bloomberg, Zhang admitted that he downloaded Apple's driverless car files, so he could still have access to them even if he's not with the company anymore.

'Far Cry 5' review: Planting seeds
Reinvention doesn't always have to be dramatic. Whether it's a long-running movie series, the seventh season of a TV show or the fifth entry in a popular video game franchise, subtle changes can be made to feel radical. In Far Cry 5, Ubisoft managed to reinvent its massively popular open world first-person shooter without losing much, if any, of what made the franchise such a hit in the first place simply by tearing down the artifice and placing an emphasis on player freedom. Ubisoft trusts players to find the fun this time around, and it pays off in a big way. On its most basic level, Far Cry 5 is about the takeover of the fictional Hope County, Montana by a doomsday cult that calls itself The Project at Eden's Gate.
This AI Librarian Organizes Your Bookmarks With Machine Learning
The internet bookmark aspires to be the digital equivalent of the sticky note you paste on an important page in a college textbook. But that's where the metaphor falls apart. If the internet is a college textbook, it's an infinitely dense one, where every chapter covers a different subject, and someone has stuck a sticky note on every page. The problem that nearly every bookmarking site inevitably needs to solve is one of organization. Pinterest does this with boards; other bookmarking services, like Pinboard, do so with tags.
