Accenture does a lot of training and education, both training their in house consultants as well as offering tailored training programs to their clients. I'm guessing that they see this as a platform for improving and streamlining the

While I haven't worked for Accenture, I have worked for other consulting companies and designing and delivering custom in house eduction programs to companies was a non-trivial part of what parts of the company did. I imagine that they

Staying a couple of days at each place would mean hotels/hostels which would greatly increase the total cost of the endeavour. Anyway you can just return to any city at any time, so it probably isn't as important to explore the w

I guarantee you that you cannot get house, bills, and food for this amount per month. That is basically the minimum state pension, which some people do live on, but it is a pretty miserable existence.

By the time you know for sure that you have covid, you have already been spreading it for several days. Most people would still go to work if they had a bit of a sore throat, runny nose or just felt slightly 'off'. Equally staying

I actually completely agree with that. Self driving level 1 is useful, and self driving level 5 will be amazing (if we ever get it). Self driving level 2-4 I'm rather uninterested in.

The source code is not a clean room re-implementation of the the HDMI 2.1 spec and as such contains IP owned in one way or another by the HDMI Forum. This would almost certainly preclude them from distributing source code to non HDMI Forum

Once the toll system is in place, the city will realise that reduced traffic means reduced toll income and the exercise becomes to find the highest price people will pay without significantly reducing traffic. Standard practice.

Feeding people into the bureaucracy machine is quick, easy and looks good on your KPIs, so that is where the focus is. Helping people get out of the bureaucracy is hard and time consuming, so that mostly gets ignored. Being stuck in limbo

The more likely scenario if the US implements UBI, is they'll probably need to import a lot more people on various work visas (and who won't get UBI) to do all the jobs people on UBI won't do any more.

One thing that is baffling to me is that these companies can fire 10% of their workforce and they just keep on chugging without a hitch. A company I used to work for set up a team to develop a new product for a new market. After 3 years t
