Yeah they really didn't think through time zones there...

No time is universal because time moves at different speeds under different gravity. The point of this initiative is to be able to accurately measure time in the moon's lower gravity.

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.

 

I have an overhead light in my bedroom that I absolutely despise. It's way too bright and it's right behind my phone/book/whatever when I'm lying in bed. We have other lights around the room, and so I'd like to replace it with someone else. I don't really want a ceiling fan there, but that's the only thing I can think of. Does anyone have suggestions of something fun to put in the center of a bedroom ceiling?

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.

Fan wikis are usually good for this sort of thing. Is this what you're looking for?
