Re:SoftBank’s Vision Fund Loses $17.7B on WeWork, Uber

From [2], SoftBank lent billions for employees to invest. That's incredible and dubious! I've been offered to purchase stock of my employer at reduced prices if I hold it for X time, but never been offered a loan to do it.

Woah, No! Stop. Their homepage claims "Grant us least privilege permissions to your AWS account(s)."
But then their docs [1] give you this admin policy to use.

> Create a nonprofit
I like the enthusiasm, but this would get you slapped by the IRS (eventually). Any other ideas?
Maybe if we just pay each other in a ring through a legal escrow? Everyone puts in $5,001, the escrow pays everyone back $5000.

> TEMPEST [1] (or Van Eck Phreaking) is a technique to eavesdrop video monitors by receiving the electromagnetic signal emitted by the VGA/HDMI cable and connectors
I've always thought of TEMPEST as magic and incredibly cool. I get how this works for video, but why is it that infosec recommends for EM shielding of a datacenter? Wouldn't there be so much EM noise from a DC that the data you could pull off be .. noisy? lossy?
