It didn't take Ayodele long to work out his next steps after a layoff. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Adekunle Ayodele, 45, who lives in Georgia. The following has been edited for length and clarity. Working at Meta, I knew getting laid off was a possibility. In recent years, layoffs have been happening rapidly in tech, and traditional ideas around job security and the 9-to-5 have been shifting. I was nearly four years into my role as a program manager at Meta when we were notified that layoffs would be happening in a few weeks, on May 20. At 7 a.m. that morning, I checked my email. No news yet. At 7.02, nothing happened. I kept on refreshing my inbox, and at around 7.14 a.m., I found out my service was no longer needed. My view has always been that if a company decides my skills are no longer required, that's fair. Because of my faith, I believe that everything happens for a reason. My immediate response was to give praise to God, say goodbye to my colleagues, and put my laptop away. I have a wife and two kids I need to provide for. I felt prepared for the layoff because I always tried to live below my means.

As AI adoption grows, companies often respond to rising costs with user-level limits, but these controls can curb valuable experimentation and adoption. Companies should manage AI spending by workflow, moderating low-value use cases, unleashing high-value ones, and ring-fencing risky cases.

One of the biggest puzzles surrounding the origin of life is a classic chicken or egg problem: How could RNA have helped create the first cells when no cells yet existed to keep RNA contained? Without cellular compartments, fragile RNA molecules would have faced major obstacles on the early Earth. They would have needed to encounter one another often enough to interact while also surviving a hot, acidic, and chemically challenging environment.

Forces from the military junta reportedly hit Kyauktaw township around midday on Monday, when the market’s more than 200 shops were busy with vendors, customers and transport workers Women and children were among the dead and at least 58 people were injured, many critically. The toll is expected to rise. UN human rights chief Volker Türk said the attack raised serious concerns about respect for international humanitarian law, describing Myanmar as a country “wracked by extreme violence”. He highlighted abuses against the Rohingya in particular by both the army and the opposition Arakan Army armed group. Malaysia urged to stop deportationsThe strike came hours before Malaysia began implementing a plan to deport some 5,000 Myanmar nationals. The plan follows a reported agreement between Myanmar’s military rulers and Kuala Lumpur, which Malaysia has said would involve only voluntary repatriations. The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, says it has not been involved in identifying those being returned, who have reportedly been held in detention centres. Mr. Türk urged the authorities to halt the process immediately, warning that conditions in Myanmar are “far from safe and sustainable”.

Canada Soccer has announced the 21-player squad that will represent Canada Soccer’s Women’s U-17 National Team (CANW17) at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Morocco 2026™, with the team set to compete in Group C against Brazil, Norway and Ghana. The team will gather in Rabat on 7 October for a final preparation camp ahead of the tournament. Canada will face Morocco in a closed-door preparation match on 11 October before moving to its tournament base on 14 October. “We’re really excited to bring this group together for the World Cup. The players have put in a lot of work throughout this cycle and we’ve seen them grow with each camp and each international match. A World Cup at this age is an important part of their development. It’s about competing against the best, learning from every experience and pushing yourself to grow at the highest level.

Data centres are at the core of the AI boom. Tech companies are committing trillions of dollars, much of it to the data centres that power their AI applications and services. And Canada is a natural destination for data centre buildouts, given its clean energy, cooler climate, and abundant land. The scale of the opportunity is immense. In Canada’s New Capital Playbook, co-written with McKinsey & Company, we found that global data centre demand—as measured by energy requirements—is expected to roughly triple by 2030, with AI accounting for about 70% of that growth. Cumulative investment in data centre facilities alone could exceed US$2 trillion to US$2.5 trillion through 2030.

Robert F Kennedy Jr laid out an expansive vision for collecting, sharing and analyzing US health information at a Maha event hosted by a close ally and outspoken anti-vaccine activist. Medical and lifestyle data, from doctor’s visits to exercise, should be connected and shared with the government and independent researchers, where it can be searched by AI – including potential links between vaccines and health outcomes including autism and mortality, suggested Kennedy, the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a longtime vaccine skeptic. “We need to use America’s health data to determine whether the food we eat, the chemicals we encounter, the vaccines that we’re administering, the other environmental and lifestyle exposures are contributing in one way or another to the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy said at an event with the Maha Institute on Monday, with about two dozen people tuning into the live stream. The Maha Institute is headed by Mark Gorton, who called himself “the boldest anti-vaxxer in the anti-vax conference” two weeks ago.

Plus, Keenan Allen and Darren Waller headline the pass-catchers worth targeting as injuries reshape Fantasy rosters Injuries hit us hard once again in Week 3, and Fantasy managers will look to the waiver wire for help. Running back is the biggest concern now after De'Von Achane (ACL) was lost for the season, and we also don't know when Breece Hall (thigh) and Travis Etienne (hamstring) will return to the field. We also had some big injuries at receiver with Justin Jefferson (ankle), Mike Evans (ribs) and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) all getting hurt in Week 3. All three appear to have avoided serious injuries, but we're not sure if any of them will play in Week 4. Baker Mayfield (thumb) was the biggest injury at quarterback, and he's expected to miss at least three weeks. And while we avoided a major injury at tight end, there are streaming options to consider for Week 4, as well as DST and kicker options. This is a good week to spend some FAAB on running back replacements like Braelon Allen (49 percent rostered on CBS Sports), Jaylen Wright (7 percent), Ollie Gordon II (3 percent) and Alvin Kamara (68 percent).
