I can't watch videos where I work, so could someone briefly explain what this does? Is it anything to do with actual microwave radiation, or is it using accelerated conduction?
EDIT: if only YouTube is blocked... there's a video available here: http://www.v-tex-technology.co.uk/ It mentions nothing about "microwave", and is just a deceptive title on that food blog's part.
Glad they were able to frame a scary experience as a voluntary adventure. Gamification has great potential for solving motivational problems.
I see opportunities for gamification quite often. If we took any tedious or daunting task and broke it down into a fun, easy, and simple problem for everyone, society in general would benefit from a harvesting a lot of wasted productivity.
Instead of seeing dozens of people on the subway playing Candy Crush, if they enjoyed answering questions on StackOverflow just as equally, how much faster could we advance our knowledge and solve unique problems?
This would cause all sorts of complications. I think the three-year limit should have an exception for mysterious reappearance, this man given his "life" back and be demanded to repay child support.
What happens if this man gets murdered? Can you go to jail for killing a dead man?
