That presumes friends and time.

I have friends, but little time. My friends have little time too. The odds of us having time to schedule together at the same time are close to zero.

The same thing was actually true in college too -- I went to an intense school -- but we had lounges in the dorm. When I was tired or burnt out, I'd drift into a lounge. There was usually someone else in one of the lounges.

That's kinda what I want. Only virtually.

Yes- sorry-- by actual newspaper, I meant printed newspaper.
Most likely yes, this has already happened with other synthetic gems - look up star sapphires, once exotic and sometimes mounted on engagement rings alongside diamonds, the process to create carborundum was figured out, and then another to insert the right inclusion, and hey-presto, you can buy them in bulk for around $1 per carat. They can create bi-colour sapphires now too.

A quick search of the internet turns up various articles about inclusions in diamonds deliberately introduced to control the properties of the resulting material. So if we're not there yet with synthetic jewellery diamonds, we will be.

The sapphire market is interesting in some ways, 'natural' sapphires still fetch a few hundred dollars per carat. It genuinely fascinates me that someone would pay (as an example I just found) over £7000 for a ring with a 4.98 carat "natural" bi-colour sapphire set with six small 0.1 carat diamonds, when you can get a synthetic stone chemically and physically the same for around £12.
Big fan of uLisp, I got it running on an ESP8266. Love how the whole language fits in a single file, making it easy to hack around.

My guess is that we need a sweeping, emotion-fill, romantic story toward something else, not just away from the current diamond-status quo. There certainly is a quiet satisfaction, and clear conscience, in avoidance of evil. But no joy in the act of NOT.

A normal person who repeatedly throws aside a full heart in favor of facts will not wake up singing for many years. There needs to be a new song to replace the old, something as emotionally filling as DeBeers shadow demons dancing to a swelling string section.

We live in a different world than 1800-2000 when migration, births, and fossil fuels were the powertrain of growth. The math has changed.

Edit: I don't know what the answer is, other than to say 'it's probably not what it was before'.
Food. Mosquitoes need blood to reproduce (among other things) and there's a finite supply of that. This caps the population. A very rapid reproduction rate means that they can quickly go from any population size to the max capacity of the environment they are in.

No, diamonds were actually kind of second-rate for a long time, medieval jewelry tended to favor flashier colored stones like rubies, emeralds, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_jewelry

Although to be fair, this was in part because diamonds are hard to cut and they don't look good without faceted cuts. Diamonds only started becoming popular in the late 1800s when South African mines started producing them in bulk and modern cuts were developed, and they went mainstream once the De Beers marketing engine kicked in after WW2.

A statutory duty to increase profits as much as possible within the legal framework "requires" you to come up with strategies to artificially decrease recorded profits to pay less corporation tax? Rrrrright....

I mean, there are literally millions of companies worldwide that aren't even remotely tax efficient never mind inventing artificial royalties to shell companies in tax havens which they could if their directors wanted to... why are they not being sued by their shareholders?

Could it be because actual company law allows management an enormous amount of discretion in how they run the company, except in cases of obvious conflict of interest or failure to care? And not deploying aggressive tax avoidance strategies isn't considered to be conflict of interest or failure in a duty of care anywhere?

"If we were to try to get into it as a group discussion it would be very painful and divisive."

This sounds more like a threat than a promise. A promise he chose to carry out. Why should it be divisive, if you're actually going to listen? Is it because you'd end up saying things like "white supremacy is a myth" and denying the notion of institutional racism?

It sounds a lot to me like the continual "predictions" (threats) from some Republicans that there's going to be a "race war" or other war with liberals, if the left keeps doing what they're doing. They make it sound like it's something inevitable that they're predicting, but in reality they're simply saying what they want to do.

Tried it out. Really shows the power of sane defaults and minimal controls. I was able to quickly create a decent drawing without looking at any documentation.

One unexpected thing. If I select the pointer icon, and double click on a shape, it lets me add a text label. But the label isn't grouped with the shape by default. I might expect that had I started with the "A" text tool, but I started with the arrow pointer. In that case, I'd expect the label to be automatically grouped with the shape.
Yes. It’s poor practice. The FIPS 140 standard has been chip and pin for 30 years now. Maybe ‘somebody’ doesn’t want this to be in common use. It’s absolutely standard in any serious security environment, fully compatible with active directory, enables unhackable web logins via SSL in Apache, and the device costs less than $5. Its atrocious that web sites still use logins that any insider can steal, or any outsider can spoof. U2f is better but not good.

Your comment shows your understanding of the diamond industry comes from a few articles you read on the internet, like an anti-vaxx person crying foul about vaccines. The facts, about 50% of the diamonds in the world come from Western countries like Australia, Canada and Russia. Another very large percentage come from stable African countries like Botswana and South Africa. There's no child labor in any of these countries, no terrorists, not thousands of dead people, not the terrible working conditions you read 1 article about a few years ago by a writer in the Congo or the Blood Diamond movie with Leo.

Botswana has used the opportunity of being so diamond-rich to require that diamonds be cut/polished in the country, enabling hundreds of their citizens to learn a new high-paying trade. Many countries require the sale of their stones happen inside the country rather than having all the stones immediately shipped off to European trading floors.

The real hypocrisy is people complaining about an industry they really know nothing about.

Must is a strong word. In theory browsers and other clients treat all video stream as untrusted and it is safe to watch an arbitrary video. However complex formats like videos are a huge attack surface.

So yes, for the bigger names like Google this is an unacceptable risk. They will generally avoid serving any user-generated complex format like video, images or audio to users directly. Everything is transcoded to reduce the likelihood that an exploit was included.
I've been working for a company that heavily caters toward the "JAMStack ecosystem" for a while now.

From my point of view, the "JAMStack" is nothing more than a piece of jargon used to aggregate various "good" ways of building and deploying web applications to trick non-technical business people or entry-level developers into using their services.

There's an absurd amount of money and effort currently being spent marketing this term.

Whatever it is, it's ephemeral, and I recommend anyone to avoid spending time on this unless they want to fall into another marketing funnel.

While this is a great step forward, let's not ascribe too much to it just yet. Pandora's niche is cheap, impulse-buy jewelry, a lot of it under $100, so diamonds rarely feature anyway and few people would buy their engagement rings there. It'll take Tiffany switching to synthetics to make De Beers really start crapping their trousers.
I bought a 1.5 carat lab-grown clear sapphire for $900 and had it installed into a custom old-school setting made of platinum. I said, in many earlier conversations, diamonds are overpriced and I wouldn’t waste my money on it.

>Can't we simply increase immigration when needed.

Not when you have a major political party doubling down on nativist sentiment and rhetoric. Remember "migrant caravans"? Or midwestern conservative politicians stoking fears of MS-13? Or "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us."

Immigration is scary to many people in the USA and one party deliberately stokes that fear.

On a quick and dirty look, I don't think those figures are right. Here's what I found for 2020:

USPS 2020

Revenues & Expenses
Package revenue: $28,537M
Overall revenue: $73,123M
Overall expenses: $82,309M
Net profit: -$ 9,176M

Mail volume - pieces per year
Packages: ~6.4B
Marketing mail: ~75B
First class mail: ~54B

The press release listed all volumes as changes and percents - I've made a quick effort to back out approximate total volumes.
Data from https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2020/1113-...

Fedex

Revenues & Expenses
Package revenue: Unknown
Overall revenue: $69,217M
Net profit: $ 1,286M

Mail volume - pieces per year
Packages: ~4.6B
Marketing mail: N/A
First class mail: N/A

Packages are presented per day, but only count operating days (255/yr)
The source I found split expenses up into cost of goods sold/SG&A/other/operating. I'm not clear what each one means and don't want to misrepresent - try the link!
Data from https://www.fedex.com/en-us/about/company-structure.html and https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/FDX/fedex/financia...

So USPS carries more packages, as well as insane volumes of mail that UPS/FedEx won't. Despite the significant volume differences, expenses are within 20% between the companies.
All of the salient points from the article will be quoted and discussed with context in the comments. As for the pieces that no one thought important enough to discuss...I appear to be missing nothing.

Alternative, make charcoal, bury the charcoal, extract whatever useful thing you can from the not-charcol that comes from that process.

Charcoal is pretty much pure carbon and that's what we should be putting into the ground. Putting CO2 into the ground runs into problems because you have to deal with the fact that you are burying a gas (gasses don't like to be contained).

So skip that, and instead focus on burying pure carbon.
Hi, mainline support is good in general, but we do have a few patches that are still being mainlined:

https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-system-image/-/tree/main...

As we use (in the default, pluggable SOM at least) the same SoC as Librem 5, there are synergies to have good mainline support.
For context, the 50G came out at the tail end of HP's development of calculators. (In fact, the original Corvallis calculator group had disbanded and the group that produced the 50G was a reconstitution assembled in part from the HP48 enthusiast community.)

By the time the 50 rolled around, computers had reduced the role of calculators in professional work, and HP was left addressing the enthusiast and educational markets. But the educational market was (and is) already heavily locked up by TI. So the 50G wound up being a compromise product (and built to a lower price point). IMO, the diminished Enter key and 'algebraic first' aspects of the design are direct attempts by HP to cater to people who might otherwise be using TI.

As someone who was enthusiastic about HP48's back in the day, I have to admit that I'm a little sad that the market hasn't continued to develop. But to be perfectly honest, modern technology and software is so much more capable, and I have no desire at all to carry another special function device if I can avoid it. My guess is that this is a fairly widespread opinino.

> TBQH, I'd love a hp-50g internals (or better) in hp-48gx case :)

I'd always hoped they'd do both that (With the old school black/blue/yellow color scheme) and a version of the 50g in the 200LX case. Between the faster CPU of the 50G and the much bigger screen of the 200, the result would have been a great rendition of the core RPL software. (For 1994-5, at least).
Amazing work. Bravo.

Hey HN, I made this because I wanted a fast editing experience when making flowcharts. The other tools (bottom) can make nicely shaped graphs, but required clicking and dragging (or editing code) to edit the graph itself. Knotend is keyboard centric and has a compact interface. It's supposed to feel more like editing a doc than dragging around boxes and arrows.

My main use case for flowcharts is planning large projects with many moving parts and multiple teammates. And for the actual software design. But there are many other use cases. I'd appreciate your feedback on how you might use it, on the idea, the design, etc. Thank you.

There are many flowchart editors out there. The ones I previously used both at work and personally were:
