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.

That's so cool! Also, CT represent!

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.

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.

Citing an internal investigation, the Chinese ByteDance-owned app said its systems correctly identified the breach, but the ads were approved due to “human error” by a moderator.

This makes it so much worse. If it were "our algorithms didn't catch it" that'd be one thing, but "our algorithms caught it but we ran them anyway" reeks of malice.

The least terrible option is not invading...

Sure but on a human scale?

There's a great Veritasium video recently about this exact thing: https://youtu.be/d6iQrh2TK98

It's a human thing, though. This is just more evidence of LLM's problem with garbage in, garbage out: it's human biases being present in a system that people want to claim doesn't have them.
