What exactly does Accenture do? i'm wondering what these 19,000 roles are


Everything. In any random group of 100 tech suits there will be 3 or 4 Accenture people.


Interested in the custom computer build, care to share some details?


It's a bit old at this point (I'm not working mobile as much as I used to, and tend to use a laptop more often than I used to when on the road).

Anyway, some details and photos back from when I built it (actually I built two, and am using the 2nd one now, after the builtin video on the first died and no more mobos were available)

Also, I seemed to have lied. It was based on an i3. I'm fairly sure you can get mobos in miniITX format for at least i5 and probably i7 at this point.

Also, turned out that I needed a voltage regulator between my solar DC system and the computer. The picoPSU can only handle up to 14V, but the solar system can sometimes run the voltage at 14.4V, which will shutdown the computer. Such a thing as too much sunshine! :)


This sounds very grevious, it's sad that a human being has to do this work


glassdoor has a very good anonymous feedback system for interview experience


the outer exoskeleton is quite tough and doesn't seem to conduct electricity


With enough volts, anything conducts...



A giant net and you could at least eat them after they feast on your crops:

There is no more ferocious predator than humans. If they became a delicacy all over the world they wouldn't stand a chance in hell.

According to the wikipedia article: "Locusts yield about five times more edible protein per unit of fodder than cattle, and produce lower levels of greenhouse gases in the process."


I always wondered why they're not collected and fed to chickens. Seems like a flock of fowl of any kind would gorge on these juicy bugs. Even a small inset net should harvest a good amount.


Yeah, a good source of protein, with the huge numbers a challenge would be drying and storage


You probably already have equipment to dry and store the grain.

Reuse of the same equipment to dry the insects might be doable.


And... you have Wuhan v2...


Wow, these stuff are beasts ! They look enormous !


The kenyan government is unprepared to handle this incident despite earlier warnings, the local minister cited a lack of an effective chemical in the local market, adding that the fight against the insect has been slowed down by the long procurement and import bureaucracies.

>If the world is seeing a loss of identity, it is because we are being freed from the shackles of our old identity. It's normal for there to be a transition period where no one knows what's what.

What if this old identity and social structures based on religious texts is essential for human beings and human beings are not capable of forging for themselves a new identity without guidance?


Because of the blue pill red pill movement and incel culture


I think you've got cause and effect mixed up there. "Incel" stands for "involuntary celibacy". That's not an explanation, that's a description of the thing you're trying to explain.
