Use Global Stock Market Returns to Pick a Backup World Cup 2026 Squad
NEWS | 11 June 2026
But it's good to have a backup in case your squad suffers an early exit. I'm hoping that's not an issue for the US team, but it's always good to be prepared (and a realist). What better way to hop onto a bandwagon than by picking a team whose country has a red-hot stock market? And Laimer, who plays at the highest level of club soccer for Bayern Munich, is exactly the type of tireless player that can cover tons of ground. Korea's chief creator and top playmaker plies his trade for the world's best club team (Paris St. Germain) and will probably be involved in every goal his team scores.

7 million student-loan borrowers will soon need to take action — or be put on the most expensive repayment plan
NEWS | 11 June 2026
Beginning July 1, the Department of Education will notify student-loan borrowers enrolled in the SAVE plan of their deadline to transfer to a new repayment plan. It follows President Donald Trump's elimination of SAVE, which gave borrowers cheaper monthly payments and a shorter timeline to debt relief. "Your monthly payment amount will most likely go up if you are enrolled in either of these plans," the department's email said. The new Repayment Assistance Plan, also available in July, would calculate a borrower's monthly payment based on their adjusted gross income. It's more expensive than existing income-based plans, which set aside a portion of a borrower's monthly expenses and calculate their monthly payment based on the lower amount.

Workers are spending over 6 hours a week 'botsitting' AI, fueling job frustration
NEWS | 11 June 2026
Instead, some employees report spending hours every week cleaning up after it. The term "botsitting" was coined by the report's authors to describe the often-overlooked work required to make AI useful. "Workers now burn an average of 6.4 hours a week botsitting — most of a full working day, every week," the report said. According to Rebecca Hinds, head of the Work AI Institute at Glean and one of the report's authors, much of the missing productivity is being consumed by work employees never expected to do. The report found that workers who spend an unusually large share of their AI time botsitting are 73% more likely to be actively looking for another job.

Companies Are Still Waiting for a True AI Productivity Boom
NEWS | 11 June 2026
Companies have been offered what looks like a golden ticket: Pour money into AI, and your firm will bubble over with productivity. More code doesn't necessarily mean better products or features — though it can mean much more spending — and AI productivity gains haven't transferred to areas beyond coding as neatly. Gupta and Zuo's experiences point to a brewing AI productivity disconnect: Some workers are completing tasks more quickly, but researchers say AI gains have yet to consistently translate into greater company productivity, revenue, or profits. Some have said cuts are to fund their AI investments, or that they are in anticipation of productivity gains that haven't fully materialized. "The AI productivity lift is going to happen over time, and slowly," said Zandi.

Why soaring memory prices could be Nvidia's next big advantage
NEWS | 11 June 2026
Rising memory prices are making AI infrastructure more expensive — and Nvidia's biggest customers could be in for serious sticker shock. Last month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft CFO Amy Hood cited rising memory costs for chips and data centers as a key factor in their increased AI spending. Research firm Bernstein said in a note to investors this week that the impact could become more pronounced with Nvidia's next-generation AI systems. The firm estimates Nvidia's coming Vera Rubin NVL72 system — used to train and run advanced AI models — will cost about $9.1 million per rack. Given demand for its AI systems and limited competition, Bernstein says Nvidia has enough pricing power to pass along higher memory costs to customers.
