I've been thinking a lot about this in the wake of the guy getting clocked on live TV, Richard Spencer-and the resulting fallout of people in my immediate circles openly cheering this behavior on. Having long considered myself a modera

To that end the company instituted a points-based incentive program the year prior, geared towards bringing on more hispanic, black and female workers. So far, it hasn't worked out too well (no, Peter Thiel doesn't count). And no

I think Ubisoft's "The Division" meets and melds some of the concepts you're talking about in the direction MMO's seem to be going. You start out grabbing a few solo missions, and the game procedurally teaches you e
