It's amazing how incentives at high levels can absolutely twist someone.

Rather than discuss or investigate the situations that lead to these hire/fire cycles, potentially find a better way, they accept it as inevitable and build off of that.

They get to take the lazy route and still have room to internally satisfy their withered conscience that they are somehow "doing good" by making vague attempts to offset the shit situation, rather than trying to eliminate said situation entirely.

Fucking hell why does this explain so much of the bullshit I am dealing with at work right now?

It doesn't take many times being on the hiring side of the table or talking with someone who is, to hear the horror stories of why the stupid questions get asked.

Or, to frame it a different way:

Modern work enviornments being what they are, as a worker you will be required to have some bare minimum soft skills in order to interact with co-workers and your boss in a manner that isn't completely deranged.

Shitty questions like these, with an obvious difference between the blunt honest answer and the "workplace acceptable" answer, serve as quite possibly the lowest bar possible to measure your ability to cater your communication properly to an audience.

These stupid questions are a litmus test for whether you are capable of reasonably functioning socially in a work environment. Very few jobs exist where you never interact with others.

I'd rather not spend my 8 hours a day listening to someone rant constantly about UBI and hating the job. That only makes the grind worse and drag on longer, even when the complaining is on the mark.

Most of all: for as dumb as a lot of this song and dance is, very few people ask these questions because they want to. Most people in recruiting have experienced times where they skipped the stupid question, and ended up missing the red flag to not hire the person.

Please get yourself an actual IT team. This is basic conditional access policy configuration for an Azure tennant.

Microsoft has learning materials available on this. It's part of their free Azure Admin online learning courses.

Heads up, this is almost entirely un-followable for anyone who isn't already aware of whatever the hell it is you're talking about.

I think you're saying that some .ml admin publicly outed someone elses not connected usernames across multiple platforms? Am I at least in the ballpark?

Where meme?

I'll give you that, but it seems to me that you must not have been around for the surge of iPhone bootlegs earlier in the smartphone era.

Lock screen, default background, fonts, literal stolen icons (not just stupidly similar ones), Chrome labelled as Safari, etc.

Settings panel design and especially the icon are super minor.

Hell, what about new Samsungs disabling the App drawer by default and tossing all apps on the home screen?

While I don't think that's a hot take, good luck proving that's happening without extensive legal costs.

There are proper procedures for these sorts of experiments that were not followed.

No amount of domain knowledge offsets malpractice, which is factually what occurred here, regardless of outcome.

Just because I have significant experience in systems engineering and administration, and we have no testing environment that would work as an accurate "clone" of reality, doesn't mean that I just get to ignore proper procedure and make changes to my work environment as I wish.

Even when I have the knowledge to know the risks, potential problems, can map out the potential outcomes, etc. I still have to follow proper procedure. Sometimes that means creating test scenarios to approximate reality, sometimes that means that I simply cannot move forward until a suitable testing environment exists.

Either way, as a knowledgable professional, there are proper processes that must be followed.

These are much more dire in the realm of medicine than computers.

Personally, my metric for "success" on this is when they die of old age with no complications that could possibly be related to the genetic manipulation. Is your metric so low that the fact they have no reported complications this early in life means success?

If he had not been successful would you be as defensive of him? The children are still children, with a lifetime of potential complications left that may or may not occur.

Invoking pure utilitarianism and the idea of babies consenting?

Got a good laugh out of me. Gr8 b8 I r8 8 out of 8

Just a note, the collection title is a little misleading now that more games in the series have come out.

This includes Zero (prequel to the original series), Kiwami 1 and 2 (remakes of the first two), 3-5 remastered, and 6 (the original ending of the original series starring Kiryu). Seven meaty brawler games with absolutely cracked side content. Great stuff, good value.

That said, it does not include the new releases from Like a Dragon onward: Like a Dragon (turn based with a new protag), The Man who Erased his Name (side game with the brawler style of the originals, about original protag Kiryu coming back from "retirement"), or Inifinite Wealth (latest game in the turn based style, with a storyline crossover between the new protag and Kiryu, the old protag).

It also does not include the two "Judgement" spinoff games, brawler style games where you play as a detective in the same universe (these never got non-console releases).

Or any of the other even more obscure spinoff brawler games (most never saw release outside of Japan). Multiple "Yakuza but set in ancient history" games (one got a remaster released in the US), one "What if Fist of the North Star got a Yakuza brawler game" that is PS4 only (with a US release, hooray), and two PSP only games from Japan starring a side character in between the first six games (I think there are fan translations for these).

Just figured that might trip up anyone new to this great series that has a hell of a lot more games to it than most realize.

Through the course of the game, they eventually go on strike and manage to negotiate better working conditions. Makes for a nice "story" reason for the game to prevent you from using the train during sections of the story where for gameplay purposes you shouldn't be able to.
