Part 2

Unfortunately, it's much worse than that

It's like Hogwarts houses for non-transphobes

This implies that Harry Potter is for transphobes and I refuse to let JKR being a big ol POS take away Harry Potter from me. Death of the author exists for a reason.

You cut off the second part of that sentence. The scam isn't doing the work from a different location, the scam is that they're using the money to fund North Korea. This isn't "Kim gets a job online" it's "Kim is a state actor that is a security risk at any moment and meanwhile causing KnowBe4 to send money to a sanctioned country."

Honestly ceiling medallion isn't a bad idea. It's a nice accent. We don't have a TV in our bedroom (because we don't want to use the space like that) otherwise the projector isn't a bad idea either.

I'm not weird enough for a doll head but fabric + max brightness at like 20% could be a nice mood piece.

Oh, it's on a smart dimmer already. The placement in the room relative to where I sleep/lie in bed makes it super annoying even at low light, so I'd rather just replace the full thing with something more useful or at least nicer looking.

Yeah, 274 years is such a weird time length to use. 0.02 seconds per year is better, or if you wanted to do a "lifetime" measurement it's about 1.68s over 80 years.

Zach Weinersmith (of SMBC) recently wrote a great non-fiction book with his wife about how difficult and inadvisable actually settling Mars would be called A City on Mars. Great reading if you're interested in non-fiction humor about the subject.

Basically, yes. Each of the 650 constituencies votes in a single member of parliament, even if they don't get 50% of the vote, just more votes than anyone else. So if you have 3 constituencies that all vote 40% Labour, 35% Conservative, and 25% Lib Dem, you will get 3 Labour MPs, even though if it were proportional, you shpuld get at least 1 Conservative MP (sorry Lib Dems, too small a sample to let you have one too)

The register providing contrast to the AWS infrastructure build out:

The Register is aware of government agencies building on-prem private clouds – sometimes on open source platforms – so they can scour code to soothe their security worries.

That's just a local data center, guys. Like how everything was done before "the cloud" became a buzzword.

This entire situation has been bothering me for nearly 24 hours now and I think this is the best summary I've read of why the concept is bothering me so much.
