Even then, you've got a large SEO and trademark barrier. Can you out-rank Qdoba for the words "burrito" and "catering"? If you do, can you use your trademark recognition to fend off competitors at better-burrito-catering.com?

Like Qdoba, choose something unique. The domain caterrito.com is a little overspecific, but memorable, unique, easily trademarked, and available.
what about phytoplankton?
Does that mean we can use the calculation of e.g. pi and a check what value it converges to as a check of the sampling space of a rng? I guess the sampling space is only a necessary condition for rng "quality"?
"Okay class, child labour, a few thousand poor people dead, terrorist groups starving hundreds of thousands, destroying schools and libraries. That is where diamonds come from. How many would still want a natural diamond because diamonds are forever?"

The elephant in that lecture hall was probably the hypocrisy.

I think if you still raise a hand after hearing all that, the issue isn't branding at all. It's narcissim, that people have to die so you can maintain the illusion of...of what?

That's the difference.

Yep, Dunning-Kruger.

Absolutely.
I'm all for more access to space and more innovation, but in a way almost unique to space (maybe only applying to things like the internet), borders aren't really practical and the cost of problems may have to be borne by bystanders.

I think there are some agreements/treaties on how access to space will be done, but I believe they're quite US-centric, stemming from NASA's work in 50s. I don't believe that China (or Russia?) subscribe to that kind of regulation.

How do we incentivise all countries with launch capabilities to be good citizens in space? Cleaning up after themselves, controlling re-entries, thinking about ground safety, etc.
Not really. NFTs are closer to paintings and intellectual property than conflict diamonds/minerals.

I recon the problem isn't what humans need to live but rather what many of them want to have.
You seem to know about their architecture. What do they do now?
It's acting in good faith versus acting in bad faith. If I agree to something with a supplier for example, I expect them to act in good faith, not seek out the edges in our agreement. I would not do business with someone like that. Just because you can does not mean you should.
I actually wrote that in, but removed it accidentally when I was adding capitalisation :)

Branding and emotion is the driving power. In the same way there's an emotional element to buying baby equipment (feeling like you need brand new clothes, cot, pram etc), there's a perception that true love is represented by a pricey diamond engagement ring. Having lived in South Africa and then after finding out how this industry controls the supply to maintain high prices, I specifically asked my fiancé for a lab-diamond. And I love my ring.. it's just a beautiful and sparkly.
I feel sorry for the people who still believe in forking out a small fortune for a diamond.
This is fascinating

> a supershear strike-slip earthquake that occurs beneath a narrow, shallow bay can trigger a massive tsunami

Basically, the horizontal shock waves from the fault are reflected vertically by the shape of the ground, which then causes the tsunami.

I did some numerical analysis on sub-Raleigh and supershear fault rupture propagation 15 years ago. In strike-slip earthquake, plates don’t slide against each other a rigid blocks, but rather un-zip rapidly along the fault. Depending on the energy in the fault (how hard the plates are pressing against each other, to grossly oversimplify), the rupture will reach one of two stable velocities along the fault. Sub-Raleigh is the most common and slower speed and super-shear is much faster. It moves fast enough to generate a shock wave, which generated the tsunami in this case.

Super-shear ruptures are a big deal because (surprise, surprise) they are much more destructive, even without a tsunami.
> For some reason accessibility is still considered an advanced skill.

Yes, unfortunately. I would agree if "accessibility" = "making a website fully WCAG-compliant". But finding and fixing the most common issues shouldn't be a big issue. Just run Chrome's Lighthouse Audit or use the hosted version at https://web.dev/ . Tools light Lighthouse will detect common issues, explain their importance and offer a way to fix them.
I dont know, most of the equipment I have bought was not worth the price. There are other vendors with better quality for the same price. There was only one system from Bose I really liked though, the car audio in the older Infiniti cars.
I feel confident that if Norway stops pumping oil tomorrow, it would be pretty devastating to our economy. I also feel confident that other countries would increase production in response. Is that just an illusion?

I absolutely agree that we should focus a lot more on making new jobs that aren't oil-related, and stop investing in oil like we do. Oil is most definitely not the future, and we should push hard to make a transition starting yesterday.

That's not at odds with what I wrote above though. Reducing climate change is a global game of prisoners dilemma.
Which headphone do you have?
Sun used open standards when they suited their purpose, but they also tried for proprietary lock-in. Their alternatives to X Windows, for instance, had licenses that weren't open in any real sense.

And sometimes they tried to have it both ways -- licensing Java, for example, in ways that seemed to allow for third party adaptations and implementations, and then playing games with access to the Java TCK (the test suite) to try to prevent the Apache group from actually shipping the alternate implementation they'd developed (Apache Harmony) -- see, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Harmony#Difficulties_to...

Sun was better than some of the other vendors at generating "open" buzz for themselves, but it wasn't really clear to me at the time, nor is it now, that they were better at actually being open than, say, DEC.

Alternate view: Almost everything in life is ridiculous when you view it with cold logic. It's utterly ridiculous to put golden balls on a fake tree in your house every year, but due to societal constraints most people in Western societies do it.

Your SO probably doesn't want a logical gift, she wants something sentimental that makes her feel that you care about her. For some people, that's an expensive rock with no utility, for others it might be something different. But applying logic to what's ultimately an emotional, illogical affair isn't always productive.

> Ask a family member or a friend of alcoholic or a gambler or a druggie what success they have had just "listening"

Suicide and chemical addiction are not the same thing.

Also, while someone going in a bender may get hurt, someone trying to kill themselves... is a much deeper risk. To say listening will not help is very much wrong. In a lot of cases someone who is suicidal (my kids both did and the person they told is why I still have five kids) will literally tell others what they are planning.

So the US is the one that stands to gain the most from this assassination attempt, then.

How ironic.
How do you implement UBI without any centralized government and in some cases a functioning currency?
Latinx came from LGBTQ Hispanic people. It was influenced by spellings like folx and womxn probably.

It became popular in writing first too.

Some people do say Latine. Probably it will replace Latinx eventually.
Its more the marketing that is sexist. Marketing for Jewelry (and especially diamonds) usually aims at woman, not men. Men more likely would choose the cost-saving option, because for them there is not much awarness around the pricing of such meaningless "decoration". And this would kinda sabotage the purpose of the question.
> Of course you can ignore tradition but then why marry in the first place?

I find it strange how many people seem to be able to separate a tradition from physical items traditionally involved in that tradition.
I'd love to know why you think that. Is there a story there?
> Part of the significance of the gesture is the level of painful expense involved. So making the item much cheaper also cheapens the gesture.

Call it what it is: diamonds are a down payment from a man to a woman for access to sex. The higher the price, the higher the value he assigns to it.
I think the white collar internet kind of distorts the picture because it tends to heavily reward things that signal compliance with rule of law.

There are a lot of people who would consider a car, diamond, piece of art, etc that has "a decently long chain of people had to stick their neck out doing criminal things" in its provenance to be a more interesting than an equivalent "produced in a high tech factory".

I think even with synthetic diamonds being 100% on par in every way there will still be a market for ethically and legally gray diamonds because people want to know they're buying something that someone toiled and/or took risks for.

I'd say price will probably be the determining factor but luxury status symbol markets don't work that way.

It's funny, I think using Twitter helped me with this. Forced me to condense large thoughts into small spaces, learning to cut through the reddit-comment fluff. High-density writing. Will be harder for an AI to replicate.
"Does anyone, other than geologists of course, really care about the back-story of the diamond, how it was created and how it was mined?"
Yes of course. Everybody can buy a ring with a diamond, but if they sell you a story with it you can tell, it is even better :)
Sure; there's definitely going to be a significant time variable then if we want to start getting specific.
Ah I see, thanks I had no idea (I assume most average users are in the same situation). I assume IpadOS is the same, and only MacOS allows a true non safari browser.
Nah. Easy scapegoat for shitty rubberneckers.

If it isn't diamonds, it will be land, water rights, drug distribution, religious purity, and on and on.

Diamonds are just another means of gaining power and wealth. They're only a problem in societies that don't have the mechanisms for dealing with inevitable power and wealth disparities.
They have always been encoding in VP9 though. But it doesn't mean they will be serving it.

For example OSX doesn't support it at all and iOS only supports VP9 in 4K/HDR mode and only for certain versions.

That example at the very end seems very contrived... It's not really valid JS, as far as my noob eyes can tell
The issue there is scale, MPEG-DASH/HLS let the edge servers for video to be simple. The servers don't need to do much more than serve up bytes via HTTP. This ends up being better for clients, especially mobile clients, since they can choose streams based on their local conditions the server couldn't know about like downgrading from LTE to UMTS.

Google would end up having to maintain a lot of extra client state on their edge servers if they wanted to do that all in-band. Right now it's done out of band with their JavaScript player. Chasing down youtube-dl users isn't likely worth that extra cost.

It also factors into how someone grew up.

I'd rather toss 10k into a couple emergency fund then waste it on a ring. Most marriages collapse due to money. I recall in my younger days I was with a girl and she dragged me to Brooks Brothers. As a child of poverty and evictions I couldn't understand why anyone who need to spend this much money on a shirt.

Even making well into the 6 figures I shop at Old Navy. Hell, my favorite partner thus far was making 200k or so, and she still used an IPhone 6.

Maybe whenever I meet someone new I'll ask on the first date, would you rather have 10k saved in an emergency fund or a shinny conflict rock ? Her response will tell me everything I need to know.
> here's how worried you should be.

... A lot, according to this newspaper. Because the more worried/stressed/scared you are, the more likely you are to feel you need to care about reading the news every day.

As for how worried you should actually be that you'll get hit by a piece of space debris: zero. You should be zero worried. And you should stop reading scaremongering newspapers like this and go find your information somewhere that is not actively trying to make you feel stressed and scared all the time.

Note: I'm not saying this story is not newsworthy. It is. I'm merely commenting on the awful writing style used in this article. Murdoch is to blame, no doubt.

I like the idea of sort of (but not really) making coal again in a fight against climate change.

In WV we have tons of old strip mine - we should fill them up with plants and bury it.

If we did something like that I imagine the biomass under the earth would compress over time and the land above would end up shifting and causing issues for anyone that wants to use it.

Edit - Daydreaming about this scenario and I am imagining trying to sell the idea of refilling the old coal mines with biomass to folks living in coal country. An interesting and funny situation.
Well, considering there's tens of millions of space junk already I wonder which countries/institutions are currently not doing a good job at that?! NASA and US would be top of the list.
Well we produce enough high quality graduates from our colleges and many would would love nothing else but to stay and apply their trade where they have built up connections but at present that connection does not outweigh the massive drag that is our housing crisis & tax policy.

Even if one wished to settle in Vancouver for example, one would still be better off working down south for 5-10 years to save up for a nice house or apartment but by then all your friends are down there so you may as well stay.
He asked that way because it's irrelevant what the man would choose in the case that he's buying it for a woman (which is generally the case). If a majority of women prefer "real" diamonds, there's no way he's going to use his preference over hers for something this important. Women's preferences determine diamond buying behavior on the market. If you want to make a difference, you have to start there.
Atlanta area. Specifically the north. Housing is still affordable. Good tech community. Cons? Well, it is the south
Similarly, I wanted to check what was taking up time on redoing org-agenda, profiler says the majority of the time is spent doing `kill-all-local-variables`

524 57% - kill-all-local-variables
56 6% + magit-wip-after-save-mode-cmhh
56 6% + global-evil-quickscope-mode-cmhh
56 6% + global-eldoc-mode-cmhh
52 5% + global-page-break-lines-mode-cmhh
52 5% + global-font-lock-mode-cmhh
48 5% + smartparens-global-mode-cmhh
44 4% + global-prettify-symbols-mode-cmhh
40 4% + magit-auto-revert-mode-cmhh
40 4% + global-tree-sitter-mode-cmhh
40 4% + evil-mode-cmhh
40 4% + global-evil-collection-unimpaired-mode-cmhh

These are all third-party packages, have nothing to do with org-mode. Pretty much any globalized minor mode you enable will add some constant time to switching into fundamental-mode, and it all adds up.

(Also, half the time when I run the profiler, the culprit ends up being evil-mode. Unfortunately it's so useful …)

Essentially it collected telemetry data, sending it back to my laptop, and activated a locator beacon when it knew it landed. Good fun to learn but it was still slightly too large for the boards I was programming - I assume it'll be a lot better on an Arduino or something with a decent amount of memory.
