Why should the interviewee assume that?

This could very well be a test to see if the applicant has an idea of how a project scales or how they need to interact with other departments or track down compliance information. It could also test the applicant's ability to provide a sanity check to a boss's idea before they pitch something that the team can't actually do

If I remember correctly, fax machines are still used because they’re a “secure” method of transmitting sensitive patient information. Regulations are keeping that inefficient dinosaur alive.

They’re of course not secure, but people who are tech literate rarely draft this kind of legislation.

A great deal of the game is undocumented, but the parts which are documented can be found, in the wiki. The game is nearly impossible to 100% out without consulting the wiki.

No idea how to start at least viewing on my phone. I can fight a mob and be 1 shotted

My phone won’t let me arbitrarily transmit over its radios. My phone also won’t let me load custom forked firmware for even more control over its hardware functions which were barely locked down to begin with, but that’s more of a “choose the right tool for the job” kind of thing.

Can’t wait to see the animated Chinese news broadcasts covering this topic like they have with some other American news events

Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?

Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.

Maybe look at this another way:

The government should represent the interests of the people. If the people have shown interest in curbing these layoff behaviors, where thousands of people lose their jobs while management remains in place with no apparent cuts to the top billing, then why would lawmakers not want to translate these interests into legislation?

I get a reasonable wariness of keeping the government out of private business, but if you have a town of 10 people, all employed by local business owner, and that business owner lays off two people, you have a large percentage of the population affected. If the townspeople enact a local ordinance to prevent this kind of behavior in the future, would they be in the wrong?

This breaks down as a business grows. When your business employs a significant portion of the local economy, it accumulates soft power that can rival that of local governments, all while having little to none of the accountability or representation that one would otherwise expect.

Management is likely being fired to an extent, but one used to expect those with the authority and responsibility to be in such a position of power to be held accountable. We’re long gone from the days where a leader would personally take accountability and step down while making unpopular or harmful decisions.

I don’t have a perfect solution to this but I clearly think something needs to change.
