@hautepop @NHSDigital this isn't even the data sharing that's at issue: the new thing is the GPDPR, which has details here: digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/data-collections-and-data-sets/data-collections/general-practice-data-for-planning-and-research/advice-for-the-public is this confusing? yes.Permalink Look on archive.org

it occurs to me that this is basically just a game design problem. and lots of game designers follow me. so... how would you solve it?

@innesmck yeah - I assume the problem is also that bisexuals have an unfair advantage ("unfair advantage")Permalink Look on archive.org
-
I reckon... two villas, one for the straights and one for the gays. no communication between the two, but contestants can swap when they like. seed the first season after the change with contestants who are, if not bi, willing to couple with the same sex if it'll help them win.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
scenarios: - a guy who has shown no interest in other men swaps to the gay villa when he's looking at risk, cocky that he'd find a partner there - a same sex pair agrees to swap to the gay villa, and leaves an imbalanced gender ratio for the straightsPermalink Look on archive.org

I think this would create a huge mess, and would probably be quite harmful to the contestants. but it would be entertaining.Permalink Look on archive.org

if people are remote, you need to design your workplace culture pretty differently to include them. which isn't going to happen in a hybrid model - the point of it is that you can still keep an in-office culture, while giving ground to workers who don't want to be in the office.Permalink Look on archive.org

except on the other side, if you're trying to hire for a tricky role, there's suddenly a load of talented candidates who have working remote as a deal breaker. and if you're (vaguely, badly) set up for remote work, you could deal with that. or maybe just for a year til they move.Permalink Look on archive.org

also in the mix - the companies we're talking about usually have multiple offices, probably in multiple time zones. so they'll be on Zoom the whole time anyway. if anything they need bigger offices, so people can take calls in meeting rooms rather than from their open plan desks.Permalink Look on archive.org

@maxkreminski it's easier once you've built the thing & it can be played with - but it is also difficult to explain to the user why they want to do the thing if it is a new category of experience.Permalink Look on archive.org

@maxkreminski of course, you can be a little misleading in your marketing - then they come for x, and stay for y. but when people tell their friends about it, they'll still pitch it as y. maybe enthusiastically enough to sell it! but also maybe not.Permalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern I was gonna say its pricy to make good digital ports of tabletop games... but actually I'm thinking about making them as proper apps, and BGA/TTS stuff is a bunch cheaper.Permalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern Still an economic mismatch - a subscription model only works if enough people are willing to pay, and having an entry cost of £hundreds is a bad way to start that. But then, it works for Peloton.Permalink Look on archive.org

@hautepop so, despite this thread: @v21/1406213451593261063?s=19 yeah, I feel that, in person is so much more... real. much harder to build trust & a shared sense without it. but also. that's not what people are generally doing when they're in the office. it's exceptional, not every day.Permalink Look on archive.org

@hautepop and also, Miro is fine, but if you're doing this work digitally rather than in person you have to design it around digital affordances. which people are now, slowly, figuring out.Permalink Look on archive.org

@hautepop and, the way we adapted sprint retrospectives - I prefer doing them so that people can write into a shared doc rather than postits on a board. gives more space to quieter people. that was a change forced by going remote, but it's a change for the better.Permalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern not decentralised, no. but there are examples of blockchain stuff interacting with the real world. the story about the chicken farming in Xiaowei Wang's Blockchain Chicken Farm comes to mind (it's good generally, and also generally not about blockchain. but that bit is)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@alexhern it is basically end to end system for tracking metadata in the chickens as they're raised, slaughtered and sold. via little tags that relate to a database that also has some blockchain stuff on it. China has a problem with food safety & authenticity, so there's demand for it.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@alexhern does the blockchain actually solve any problems within that system? not really. is it widespread as a system? also not really. but it is a physical good sold with a blockchain thing involved, and you could reasonably insure bits of it.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@alexhern yeah, the fundamental issue of "how do you know the tag wasn't attached to a different chicken" is not solved by the blockchain. and realistically you're just scanning a QR code to go to a website that has info + the word "blockchain" on it.Permalink Look on archive.org
