I think this could be a killer app for business team building. I've done "virtual escape rooms" but it always feels weird not being able to interact with the environment yourself. I'm glad those businesses were able to

I want a game somewhere halfway between an MMORPG and a MOBA. Like an MMO in a bottle, or a Massive MOBA. A good example of this may be Alterac Valley from World of Warcraft but on a bigger scale. Two sides, each side has 100 to 500 peopl

Expanding on your idea, I thought it would be interesting to have an MMORPG with multiple completely different clients. The easiest example might be in a future/sci-fi game, you have a normal game client for people moving around the g

The call center seems to be like the standard MBA case of a cost center to optimize but where efficiency is only half correlated with positive customer experience. I mean if you can route people to the right place, and get peoples question

I mean, technology making us more productive seems obviously true on it's face, so what gives? --> Productivity, which is defined as the value of goods and services produced per hour of work. Seems like an interesting measure. So a

Ok, so I just read a bunch of articles about animals grieving and it seems like there would probably be a lot of difficulty in agreeing on what it means to grieve, and what it means to be conscious and all sorts of other terms. I believe th

“ My cat almost certainly has a sense of what it’s like to be a cat” Is this true? I always thought this was anthropomorphism. I have dogs and I thought dogs more just “are” rather than self aware. The weirdest thing about these studies to

They're a professor for Orthopedics. Orthopedics is the highest paid specialty and at a university, Professor == Physician. Point is he's making that money for the hospital for patient services, not because of his teaching.

It seems that there is even some level of doubt that we even _know_ that sun exposure causes melanoma, and what that means, I think we can assume very few people are following a zero tolerance policy of unprotected sun exposure. Reading thr

I understand why you think this isn't unreasonable -- I just don't think it's _possible_ for most things (that aren't overt poisons, i.e. smoking, lead, etc). If you get skin cancer, you'll always wish you'd do

The reddit hack for reviews succeeds at being a good source for "reviews", _because_ that's not what it's for. As soon as you create a search engine, someone will figure out how manipulate the results. Even reddit sear

This begs the question to me, is there a way to "fix" Twitter, without greatly reducing its impact? It seems to me some people talk about making Twitter "the" public forum, but most of the fixes to Twitter seem to be ab
