Trump administration to impose a $100,000-per-year fee for H-1B visas

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-20 04:14:17

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order, which adds a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications. It's not a one-time fee either: The New York Times has reported that companies will have to pay $100,000 a year for any employee it brings over to the US on the visa for up to six years. The Secretary of Homeland Security will restrict approval for visa applications unless accompanied by the fee, though the rule "allows case-by-case exemptions if [it's] in the national interest."

If you’ve recently tried to open a sideloaded book on your Kindle and hit a wall, you’re not alone. Starting this week, users across Reddit’s r/kindle community began reporting a sudden “Invalid ASIN” error message. The alert claims the selected title is not valid for Digital purchase on the Kindle, even when the book was loaded via USB or email rather than bought through Amazon’s storefront. Notably, the error only seems to affect unread sideloaded titles. Books that had been opened previously

Things managers do that leaders never would

news.ycombinator.com Team Simon 2025-09-20 07:11:18

Picture this: Two people walk into the same crisis. The project is behind schedule, the client is furious, and the team is falling apart. The first person immediately starts assigning blame, calls an emergency meeting to “get to the bottom of this,” and sends a tersely worded email about “accountability and expectations.” The second person takes a breath, gathers the team, and says, “This is tough, but we’re in it together. Let’s figure out how to make this right.” Same crisis. Same pressure.

I’m not alone in this experience.

Trump hits H-1B visas with $100,000 fee, targeting the program that launched Elon Musk and Instagram

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-20 06:34:22

President Trump just made it a lot more expensive for companies to hire foreign workers through the H-1B program. The White House announced Friday that Trump signed a proclamation requiring employers to pay a hefty $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, an enormous jump from the current $215 lottery registration fee. H-1B visas allow U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in fields that typically require technical expertise like IT, engineering, mathematics, or medicine. The program is ca

‘Night of the Reaper’ Is a Retro Babysitter Slasher With a Mystery Twist

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-20 09:47:02

Night of the Reaper begins with a familiar slasher movie scenario: a babysitter being stalked by a killer. The masked menace puts on a big show of toying with her, leaving creepy notes that almost feel like a prank until the danger gets all too real. It’s a freaky opening sequence that signals director and co-director Brandon Christensen (Still/Born, Z) is well familiar with the horror tropes his movie is leaning into—and you can tell he knows his audience will pick up on them too.
