H 1b visas

A California-based outsourcing firm discriminated against Americans for information technology (IT) jobs in the United States, preferring to hire only foreign workers imported on H-1B visas, a Department of Justice (DOJ) settlement reveals. This month, federal prosecutors announced a settlement with SpringShine Consulting Inc. for soliciting employment applications for IT jobs in the U.S. exclusively from foreign H-1B visa workers. According to the settlement, SpringShine sought employment applications on a job recruiting website — seeking foreign IT consultants only on H-1B visas. The recruitment post excluded all other job applicants, most notably qualified Americans. “Employers that discourage applicants based on their citizenship or immigration status, or save certain employment opportunities only for applicants who require sponsorship to work in the United States, violate the law and must be held accountable,” the Justice Department’s Kristen Clarke said in a statement. … [Read more...] about DOJ: Outsourcing Firm Discriminated Against Americans, Offering Tech Jobs Only to Foreign H-1B Visa Workers

What just happened? We've only just started to see companies reveal their blisteringly fast PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs for consumers, but the PCI Special Interesting Group (PCI-SIG) is always looking to the next generation. Now, it has announced what we can expect in 2025: PCIe 7.0. At the PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2022, taking place in California, the future version of the PCIe specification was announced. This comes after the consortium released the final PCIe 6.0 specification in January. As with previous generations, PCIe 7.0 doubles the bandwidth of its predecessor, from 64 GT/s to 128 GT/s, equal to up to 512GB/s of bi-directional throughput (before taking into account encoding overhead and header efficiency) via the x16 connection. Looking at it another way, PCIe 7.0 has four times the bandwidth of PCIe 5.0. The new specification will use 1b/1b flit mode encoding and is based on Pulse Amplitude Modulation with four levels (PAM4) that was introduced with PCIe 6.0. … [Read more...] about PCIe 7.0 standard with up to 512 GB/s of bandwidth now in development
