Economy Creates 57,000 Jobs in June, But Employment-to-Population Numbers Drop Sharply

The economy added 57,000 jobs in June, with nearly all job growth coming from health care and social assistance. The unemployment rate edged down to 4.2 percent, but the employment-to-population ratio fell to its lowest level since June 2021. Prime-age employment declined sharply, especially among men, signaling potential weakness in the labor market despite low unemployment. Wage growth slowed to 3.5 percent year over year, lagging recent inflation and reflecting softer labor demand. Hotels, restaurants, insurance, and motion picture industries lost jobs, while women accounted for more than all net payroll job growth. There is still no evidence of an AI-driven jobs apocalypse, as productivity growth remains modest and concentrated job gains point to a cooling — not collapsing — labor market.

Canada's economy reverses months of slow growth with 0.5% boost in April

@Amoxtli, one month of +0.5% after two quarters of contraction is interesting — but I’d want to see the composition before calling it a turn. If the boost is heavily resource-export driven (oil/potash timing), it might not signal domestic demand recovery at all. The BoC still has a tricky call ahead given USD/CAD sensitivity to Fed rate path. We’ve been tracking Canada’s macro alongside US equity and ETF implications at metral.yeahmypets.com — full breakdown: https://cxgo.ai/l/7GckwsU if you’re weighing how this feeds into portfolio positioning.

Dell just overtook HP as the top PC maker in the US as the entire market shrinks

Budget-constrained segments, including government procurement and education, experienced a slightly steeper decline than the commercial market. Both are expected to remain under pressure through the end of the year, although Omdia believes they could see a meaningful recovery in 2027. The text and the above graph expect PC purchasing to shoot back up in 2027. I don’t buy it. Purchasing on PCs is down because prices on memory are up. There are only two ways that prices on memory come back down in 2027: a lot more supply enters the market, or demand drops significantly. There are going to be new fabs coming online in 2027, but they won’t be running at full bore until 2028. A lot of unexpected supply seems unlikely to suddenly materialize in 2027. I am also pretty skeptical that everyone is going to suddenly stop purchasing memory for AI purposes in 2027. If one wants to bet on a huge retraction in AI-related demand, that might do it. But I think that if that’s what this was based on, they’d be pretty explicit about it. If purchasers in 2027 suddenly decide “the hell with it, I’m willing to pay a lot more for memory than I was last year”, if price elasticity of demand suddenly falls off, that’d do it. But I don’t see a reason for that to happen. Heck, even if it did, I’m not sure how many other memory consumers there are to try to outbid. The market cannot increase production in that timeframe, so the only way for PC purchasers to use more money is to outbid someone else, to get some memory that would have gone to someone else. It sounds like the big AI companies mostly have contracts in place, so you probably can’t outbid them in 2027, even if you rolled up with more money. I guess maybe you could try to outbid cell phone users for available memory or something. I’ve also seen a number of articles predicting that memory prices in 2027 will, if anything, be somewhat higher than in 2026. I think that PC purchases are going to stay low in both 2026 and 2027.

Illegal timber imports from Cambodia, Laos skirt Vietnam safeguards, report reveals

Illegally sourced timber from Cambodia and Laos continues to enter Vietnam’s supply chains despite recent efforts to tighten legality controls, according to a new report from U.K.-based watchdog the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA). Falsified paperwork, manipulated harvesting quotes, and intermixing of timber from multiple sources are just some of the ways well-established criminal networks perpetuate the illicit trade, EIA teams uncovered during a four-year investigation. “We repeatedly observed mechanisms through which timber from questionable sources could be incorporated into formal trade channels,” says Thomas Chung, forest timber campaigns lead for the EIA. Vietnam is one of the world’s largest timber exporters. As a major manufacturing hub of furniture, flooring and other wood products, it plays a key role in international supply chains, shipping roughly $17 billion in timber and timber products in 2025. Timber from neighboring Laos and Cambodia represents a relatively small share of Vietnam’s total supply, the EIA report says, accounting for less than 9% of all timber shipments into the country. However, it carries an outsized legality risk that significantly undermines Vietnam’s efforts to ensure legal sourcing. To maintain access to lucrative export markets, such as the U.S., the EU, Japan and China, the country has made several recent updates to its national timber legality framework, known as the Vietnam Timber Legality Assurance System (VNTLAS). However, the EIA investigation indicates these efforts are being grossly undermined by persistent imports of illegal timber from Cambodia and Laos, exposing key weaknesses in the VNTLAS system.

Cuba Marks 40th Anniversary of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Center

The CIGB is a beacon of technological sovereignty and innovation, President Diaz-Canel pointed out. On Wednesday, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel congratulated the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB) on its 40th anniversary and scientific achievements. RELATED: Díaz-Canel strengthens cooperation with China and aims to expand biotechnology exports “Founded by Commander Fidel Castro, the CIGB is a beacon of technological sovereignty and innovation. Its vaccines and biopharmaceuticals save lives. In the Year of Fidel’s Centennial, we honor his legacy.” he said. “Cuba needs you. It needs your intelligence, your dedication, and your commitment,” President Diaz Canel said addressing the CIGB members. On July 1, 1986, Fidel Castro inaugurated the CIGB, bringing to fruition a project that had been conceived and developed amid the severe restrictions caused by the U.S. blockade in place since the 1960s. “For a country under blockade and with limited resources, the inauguration was an extraordinary event: venturing into that promising discipline was a privilege almost exclusively reserved for highly developed nations,” journalist Orfilio Pelaez recalled in an article published by Granma. “Equipped with the most advanced technology and a revolutionary integrated working model that linked research, production and commercialization, the project was financed entirely by the revolutionary government,” he added. Among the milestones leading to the creation of the CIGB were trips by Cuban researchers to scientific facilities in other countries to study the applications of interferon, a substance with potential antiviral and antitumor effects. In 1981, six young Cuban scientists traveled to Finland to learn interferon production: Manuel Limonta, Angel Aguilera, Eduardo Penton, Victoria Ramirez, Silvio Barcelona, and Pedro Lopez. After returning to their homeland, they succeeded in producing the first Cuban interferon from white blood cells, laying the foundation for the country’s modern biotechnology industry. In 1982, Cuba inaugurated the Center for Biological Research, which later became the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in 1986. “After becoming a thriving scientific and production complex, the CIGB was granted ‘High-Technology Enterprise’ status in 2020. It has 1,370 employees
 Fifty-six percent of them hold university degrees. Sixty-one percent have scientific and technological credentials, including 83 Doctors of Science, 233 master’s degree holders, 46 senior researchers and 104 Level I technologists,” Pelaez noted. “The CIGB’s patent portfolio includes more than 65 inventions, with more than 700 patent applications and patents in Cuba and abroad
 Currently, 55% of its patents are in developed countries, 25.5% are in the BRICS countries and Argentina, South Korea and South Africa, and 20% are in other nations. More than 80% of its R&D projects are protected by patents, and 50% of its inventions are part of signed business agreements,” he added. How the US blockade of Cuba deprives people in the United States of Cuba’s life saving and improving drugs for Alzheimer’s, Cancer and Diabetes. As well as stunting Cuba’s production capacity for biotech medicines. pic.twitter.com/QScN2m6Blj — Helen Yaffe (@HelenYaffe) May 7, 2026 A Story Full of Successes CIGB Director Marta Ayala told Granma that the center is working on 22 innovative projects related to the CIGB-300, an anticancer peptide; PCB, a small molecule derived from the alga Spirulina platensis for cerebral ischemia; Jusvinza, an immunomodulatory drug that regulates inflammation without causing immunosuppression; HeberSaVax, an active immunotherapy vaccine against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); and the development of a tetravalent dengue vaccine. “The greatest challenge for CIGB workers is to continue creating innovative, high-value-added products and successfully introduce them into the international market,” Ayala said, referring to the intensification of the U.S. blockade. In a summary of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology’s principal achievements over the past four decades, Granma highlighted the following: * Heberprot-P, for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and complex wounds, is the flagship product of Cuban biotechnology. * Heberbiovac-HB, a prophylactic vaccine against hepatitis B, immunizes the entire population under the age of 25, is administered at birth, and no pediatric cases have been reported. * Recombinant human alpha interferon, including Heberon Alfa R and Nasalferon nasal spray, has been used against COVID-19 to enhance mucosal immunity. * Abdala, a vaccine effective against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants with a high level of protection. * Gavac vaccine, the only vaccine on the international market for controlling cattle ticks, registered in 10 Latin American countries. * Porvac vaccine, against the classical swine fever virus, the principal threat to pigs in Cuba, with high efficacy and a worldwide patent. * Development of genetically modified soybeans and corn with higher yields, greater resistance to pests and diseases, and improved adaptation to climate change. teleSUR/ JF Source: Granma – X From teleSUR English via This RSS Feed.

Let's check out how the federalist is dealing with the SCOTUS ruling

This is the CEO of the Federalist https://nitter.net/seanmdav/status/2071983931998494799#m Several ways forward here given the choice of Roberts/Barrett to nullify the 14th Amendment and extra-constitutionally replace it with their own language: Nullification. States issue birth certificates, and they can just stop issuing them to non-citizens. Roberts/Barrett can deal with the fallout and litigate each birth individually. Pack the court. If Robert wants to be a politician who writes laws instead of a judge, then he can fight with 10 more unelected legislators in robes. Deny entry to all pregnant foreigners. Deny entry to all female foreigners. Require sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry. Dissolution of the Union. A nation which can’t even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn’t a nation. Amend the Constitution. This is pointless, because once a judge decides he can rewrite the Constitution at will (as Roberts and Barrett did today), the actual text is meaningless. But this is what most GOP politicians gravitate towards because they are useless. If you think all these options are not great, understand that that is what happens when unelected judges decide that they are in charge of the country and get to write its laws.

Being Bad

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/67210007 Charlie may temporarily have the body and intelligence of a human, but a polymorphed owlbear still has no idea how to act in humanoid society. Singing Cricket is doing his best to keep Charlie out of trouble. What’s going on here? Singing Cricket (retired adventurer), Kayra (young night hag) and the rest of the hag coven are attending the wedding of a changeling, the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby. Charlie is an owlbear that Singing Cricket adopted by accident while trying to protect a baby house. Taking a Discworld-inspired cue, the hags decided to polymorph him into a human and bring him along to join the party. The maid of honour, Sassy, has been unlucky in love - but she was quite taken by Charlie (almost literally) when they were introduced. Unfortunately, Singing Cricket’s efforts to keep him on his best behaviour are frustrating the poor half-orc lady. Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/horror story. It’s on Webtoon and other platforms. Also [email protected]. If you want early comics and bonus stuff, there’s also Patreon. There’s also a book! You’ll find it on Amazon (just use your country’s site), or Comcraft.

What surprise do you have prepared Nintendo?

Valve invented the “we can violate copyright laws because it’s on a computer” That stunt was invented by the music industry first. It was a hit with publishers. Valve helped the publishers do the same shit with video games and it’s still awful, but they weren’t the inventors. It boils down to the same issues of predatory copyright laws that have been perverted into a twisted mockery of the good intentions they were initially supposed to serve.

Hardware recommendations for running OpenSense as a Firewall?

i bought a intel n100 board with used 4gb of ram and an used ssd. then i bought 1 nic with poe for the wan (5g antenna with integrated modem) and second nic for a dmz. also i tried opnsense but switched to ipfire, because it offers all i need in a much simpler package. cost was arround 300€. tbh i would just buy a simple mini pc with enough nics, but couldnt find one with poe to a good price.

How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"?

But Apple’s real secret sauce is that - and judging by the attitude you’re swinging around in your post, OP, you’re not going to like this - they make REALLY good hardware. I’d argue that their hardware is middling, but they make up for the shortcomings with decent software. Sort of the opposite of Windows, where you might have some nice hardware that gets held back by bad software (especially with the disastrous windows updates lately). Hence there being a really nice period of time where you could squeeze Mac OSX onto better hardware and ideally get the best of both worlds. Apple has historically not been the value pick in pure hardware specs alone, and I don’t doubt that you could absolutely shop around and get a computer that, on paper, would be more powerful. Before the RAM price hike, they were the subject of mockery because they charge exorbitant prices for increasing the amount of memory in a machine you wanted to be (it was in the region of +$300 for another 16GB to get it to 32GB).

“Televised Nervous Breakdown”: CEO of Palantir Suffers a Bit of a Meltdown During Live Interview

Here’s the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI-0FKFfO54 He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal. Pretty interesting how he’s fully accepted that there will be “a wealth tax” as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are “livid” about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol
