DoorDash is set to pay $16.75 million to resolve a probe into deceptive tipping practices. The settlement will be shared among 60,000 delivery workers, giving each between $10,000 and $14,000. For years, DoorDash used tips to offset what it paid its workers, misleading both customers and delivery workers. New York AG Letitia James said DoorDash executives knew how deceptive this policy was. The company must now end this practice and report on compliance for three years. This settlement highlights the need for transparency and fairness in the gig economy.

Apple plans Texas factory for AI servers, 20,000 research jobs
Apple plans $500 billion in US investment, 20,000 research jobs in next four years
Apple is gearing up to invest a whopping $500 billion in the US over the next four years. This massive plan includes setting up a new factory in Texas that’s dedicated to AI servers and creating 20,000 new research jobs. Now, if you’re wondering, AI servers are those computers specially designed to handle tasks such as drafting emails. This move comes on the heels of tariffs imposed on products from China. But that’s not all. Apple is also looking to boost its advanced manufacturing fund to $10 billion and is planning to open a manufacturing academy in Michigan. All these efforts are part of a grand plan to bolster US manufacturing and provide education opportunities for smaller firms.

Unemployment by degrees: the harsh truth about your diploma
Ron Slater, a veteran with a master’s degree, has been unemployed for over two years. He’s part of a growing trend of highly educated professionals struggling to find jobs. Economist Aaron Tara found that advanced degree holders are now facing longer job searches. Factors like the shift to remote work, changes in hiring practices, and AI are making degrees less valuable. Tara warns this may signal a fundamental shift in economy. Education, once seen as a path to security, might not protect against financial instability anymore.

Scientists Want to Farm Fog to Solve the Water Crisis
Researchers have developed fog harvesting machines to combat water scarcity. These devices use mesh to collect water droplets from fog and store them. A study in Alto Hospicio, Chile—the driest non-polar place on Earth—showed that these machines can produce up to 10 L of water per square meter a day. The technology is low cost and requires little maintenance. Dr. Virginia Carter Gambir Ini said, “Our findings demonstrate that fog can serve as a complementary urban water supply.” This innovative solution could help address global water shortages exacerbated by climate change.
