If you're bored, why not just climb the ladder? Isn't that the logical conclusion of working for any large company? Not that working harder will correspond to promotions, but rather the higher you climb the harder you'll have

This doesn't sound like it would be unrealistic. I think this can be partially solved by two systems: one that paints and one that finds the best painting to match a current event (in the form of a topic). The latter system could be tr

I could see regulations go the other way: tech companies will be forced to hire quotas of customer service reps to offset the jobs they keep trying to displace. More specifically, above certain thresholds of revenue and customers for a digi

I am awaiting a Steve Jobs-like re-entry of Travis Kalanick back into Uber when Uber purchases CloudKitchens to complete its kitchen-to-door vertical integration. It's all very hypothetical, but I give it a 1% chance of happening.
