What I don’t understand is my company set things up to give everyone an alert every time they’re sending something to a non company domain. Why aren’t there any protections like this in place?
What a terrible pandering article. It essentially brings up 3 points:
Employees don’t make enough without tips: If employees are having to rely on the kindness of customers for a living wage then they should be angry at their bosses, not the customers. If businesses don’t make enough to pay their employees a living wage then they should raise their prices. If raising their prices means customers stop coming in then they don’t have a sustainable business model.
Reminds people that their is a tipped hourly wage that is $2.13: Apparently this category of worker is twice as likely to be in poverty so we should just tip to subsidize? How about we abolish that law? Fuck the government for continuing to subsidize shitty business practices by allowing a law to exist that statistically shows a 100% increase in the likelihood a citizen will be in poverty. Also this argument is already immediately moot for a majority of states which either don’t allow tipped wages or already tie tipped wages to minimum wage so that you can’t be paid less than your states minimum wage. Honestly this argument is so stupid it reminds me of people who say they can’t earn more money because they’ll make less money because they don’t understand progressive tax brackets. What a shallow analysis by NPR.
“You hurt my feelings when you don’t tip like you don’t value my labor”: Fuck you. Your boss doesn’t value your labor. My job as a customer isn’t to pay you for doing your job. I obviously value your labor because I’m buying stuff at the store that you work at. Your boss doesn’t value your labor. It’s just easier for you to bully and guilt customers into paying your wage rather than demand your rightful value from your employer.

This is a federal law. In no state can you make less than $7.25/hr at a tipped job. If tipped wage plus tips doesn’t make that, the employer must make up the difference.
At least that’s the law. I’m sure some shitty employers don’t follow it. We should get rid of the whole “tipped wage” thing entirely and pay everyone a living wage.
You’re right, I thought it was tied to state minimum wages which some don’t have but it’s tied to federal minimum wages which makes more sense. I suppose that just makes the original argument even more moot though.
Wow people who make $2/hr in 2023 are more likely to be in poverty huh? I never would have guessed that paying poverty wages would work out that way. Color me shocked.
Anyhow I am not against tipping, per se, because I think people who do a great job could be given a little something to reward that but now I just tip out of guilt because I don’t know if that person is going to starve to death if I don’t. Wages should be livable and tips should be a reward for doing an amazing job.
Man, that must be hell, it’s literally death valley temperature since they were the same temperature this week. Kinda ironic how death valley name was because the dudes who were stuck finally left saying “goodbye death valley”, and in the future it’ll literally become death.
That’s what we in the cybersec business call an “oopsie daisy I made a little fucky-wucky”.
For real though, this isn’t a problem yet. The TL;DR is that Mali has a top-level domain “.ml”. Just like “.co.uk” for the UK. And the military uses the domain “.mil”. So lots of emails accidentally get sent to “[Military email]@[Military email server].ml” instead of sending to .mil.
So a bad actor could simply set up an e-mail server with .ml domains that mirror the military’s .mil ones, and start collecting all of those mis-addressed emails.
So why isn’t it an issue yet? Because we had a contract with Mali to manage their domain. They literally signed administrative rights for the .ml domain over. So the US was able to basically set up their own .ml mirrored sites, to capture all of those mis-addressed emails. They have captured thousands throughout the years, because military members keep misaddressing their emails. Supposedly containing all kinds of sensitive data. Everything from medical records to troop movements and equipment inspection reports.
But that contract ends this week, so Mali could 100% start registering their own domains when that contract expires and domain registrations begin expiring.
Or simply set rules to disallow any emails sent to a .ml domain. It’s not a perfect solution because legitimate emails could get caught in the filter. But it would prevent the issue of mis-addressed emails.
I doubt the number of US military who legitimately needs to email .ml addresses is that big. Block it for everyone minus known ppl who deal with mali stuff (and have been briefed on the issue). Sort out the ones you missed on day 0. Worst case some legitimate mail to mali gets delayed - whatever. If its urgent, i hope they have better comms channels than email. For external contractors, send them an email with vague threats of consequences if they leak (and instructions to fix their address books). Some mail will still be missent, but this should mitigate most of it.
Prison authorities definitely try to prevent it, if for no other reason than it makes conditions dangerous for them too. It’s terrible that it’s celebrated in popular culture though for sure.
The unfortunate truth is that the majority of the people who voted really did vote for this sort of government. For the past 1.5 decades.
The current opposition is like the Biden alternative. I don’t have many hopes for them but we are at a stage where almost anything is better than this. The current government has been a clown show.
But let’s be clear, Mike is a tool and a hypocrite because of his behavior towards his neighbor, but by no means a monster for trafficking a little MDMA.
A union of guys who are paid to break up protests and strikes doesn't really count as a union, especially when they have guns but most of the elected officials don't.
It’s a union - and an extremely powerful one at that. You can wish and hope all you want that it isn’t, but it is and shows just the kind of corruption and bullshit unions can be.
A union of seamstresses is not going to be able to hold the city hostage. Hell, even when Hoffa was running the teamsters--The most infamous example of union corruption in history--he couldn't get a clause in the contract where a guy who killed a guy on the job got to keep his job.
Unions have long outlived their usefulness in the US. In other parts of the world, unions are still very important and seem to be able to operate without turning into pure corrupt bullshit. In the US? Not so much. With money comes corruption and we can’t seem to get things right here. Either we have corporate bullshit or union bullshit and neither of them are good for workers or the country as a whole.
