There are few things more depressing than having to deal with companies like Accenture, EY, KPMG etc. It's a world of FUD, upsell, more consultants, nothing getting done, lots of slides, new "junior senior Global Consultant for Microservices" type stuff. They are literally a cancer on innovation and just getting things done.
They destroy the ethos of a company through deliberate intransigence.
I do love a good pint of Guinness. There's something very satisfying about how it looks; the more pronounced flavor than other globally available macro beers, and how it seems easier to have a few more than it would be with other beers.
Yes, it's very interesting that a concept that is now so widely used in general statistics was first used in a brewery. It helps that Guinness is still the best globally available macro beer (imo).
One of those quirky little intersections between mathematics and practical business outcomes.
I haven't been to Boston in 15 years, but I remember it having two very distinct accents when I was there.
There was the very Bostonian Irish accent with rolling R and very soft H. My mother always said Kennedy had it, but I can't pick that up in recordings apart from the use of lots of adverbs and a general flair for speaking.
The other is distinctly WASPish. It's the New England received pronunciation style. It's more Yankee.
