Introduction This morning, the Department of Homeland Security proposed replacing the H-1B lottery with a weighted system that favors workers certified at higher Department of Labor (DOL) “Wage Levels.”1 On the surface, this seems like a merit-based reform: higher wages should mean higher skills. In reality, DOL’s Wage Levels are very different from actual wages. The Wage Level framework was never designed to compare wages across occupations because it measures relative seniority within a job c

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-03 17:39:10

Manual transmissions have gone the way of the dodo, but you can still find a few out there. Bless Volkswagen for keeping the helical gears turning, both literally and figuratively. The 2025 Jetta GLI, Volkswagen's sporty sedan, still offers a gear lever with actual gears attached at the other end, and a third pedal hanging down from under the dash. Meanwhile, Golf GTI fans are still sobbing in their beer because 2024 was the last model year you could row your own in the hot hatch—now it's paddle

As Electrek and Auto Express have reported, the automaker now lists the Volkswagen ID.3 Pro and Pro S on its UK website with lesser horsepower that what they're capable of.

“No tax on tips” is an industry plant

news.ycombinator.com Eyal Press 2026-01-21 05:47:27
