  • I mean, noone used reddit 10 years ago. To a 37 year old like myself, that seems like the reddit shit blew up out of nowhere. Youtube is just a matter of time and outcome of future google break up cases before a legitimate competition comes for its industry share. FB will die with the boomers. The only one I see as a really unmovable object is Twitter because of the universal use by all major sports media/reporting/journalists. It’s the only one with end users applying the platform in any comercial sense outside of marketing. I think the question OP is asking will on the reliance of one of the other platforms falling.

    Just my opinion tho so take it with a grain of salt.


  • You know they aren’t a cell phone company anymore but primarily focus on telecommunication infrastructure and IoT technology, right? Fueling a $23 Billion revenue stream. The hack is to give access abilities to the 3rd largest telecommunications company in the world. You say the data is only worth $20,000 but I don’t think you have a very good understanding of corporate espionage value. The hacker is selling an unsubstantiated tool (as in something to use not that its an actual tool or software), that is illegal to use, from unverified seller. The value of something doesn’t ever reflect the value of the product it reflects the value people are willing to pay for the product. The access to a multi billion dollar telecommunications company is worth a fuckton itself, but that’s not what they’re selling. They’re selling the ability to access that data which carries, like I said, tons of risk and potential cost. The hacker prolly does this to mitigate fallout if caught by selling access to data and not the data itself.



















  • Wait do people really not know that servers and bartenders already make below minimum wage before tip? In NY and I think most states have it set up so the specially set minimum wage for tipped service workers + the minimum % you must claim from tips comes out to the state wide minimum wage amount. Everything they make in tips after that is cash in hand no taxes, period.

    The fact this is even up for debate shows the people debating to raise it have no idea what they’re talking about.

    If you suck at you job and keep getting scheduled on swing shifts that see no patrons so no tips, your employer must match the necessary amount to get you to minimum wage. Only ever saw that happen a few times for really really part time servers. But in one or two 4-6 hour dinner rushes at average sized establishment, it was more rare for the servers to NOT take home more than what the cooks made in a 40hr week. 8-12hrs of largely untaxed tips = more than 40hrs @ 12/hr or at least that was the case 7-10 years ago.

    Lesson 2, never go salary working for a restaurant. It turns you into legal slave labor. You will be at that restaurant more than you aren’t for the same fuckin paycheck amount week in and week out. I never went salary but have a record of 91hr work week when the place I was at opened a new location. Made bank hourly but if I were salary I’d be the same amount paycheck for 90hrs of work.

    That’s what we should be looking to improve regulations on. Exploiting faux salary promotions for exploration of labor laws lol
