Seems fair to me, 27% commission implies 3% for card handling fees, to level out to the same 30% developers would have to pay doing things the intended way. All this talk of using "alternative payment systems" just seems like a wa

As someone who uses discord for a variety of fun, professional and hobby-related projects I think the real answer is it depends. I've seen multiple servers where extra channels/topics can actually encourage people to talk more vs

I think this is clickbait. The future of tech is really scary and I fully empathise with that. These new societal problems around data tracking, and the ability to process that data do need to be solved, but trying to skirt around problemat

Does anyone here have any thoughts on how Sublime Text 4 compare's to Panic's Nova? I used to be fully on the native editor train, but I love VSCode so much, it's difficult to justify switching back.

Oh absolutely! My partner studied jewellery, and had an interest in picking the exact stone for the ring, so in this case that wasn't a viable option. I think in a lot of cases, when you're buying gifts for people etc. defaulting

I mean, the site scales really well with browser size, default font size etc. I'd argue the real inaccessibility is lack of images, and general "boring" vibe that puts off entire demographics who post the type of content that

On any forum, meta-posts are sometimes a lightning rod for stupid comments and so you often see meta-posts banned to prevent it!

One thing I like about HN, is I can see many comments that I think are totally outrageously wrong and still get into a civil discussion with someone on why they think that way. This would never go down on Twitter, Reddit etc. I think by vir

Semi-related, but here's an interesting fact, De Beers (the company that popularised diamonds for engagement rings, hoards a huge supply, and creates artificial scarcity) has also invested heavily in lab grown diamonds: https:/&#

I'd argue that the fact that they're rare, special things found in the earth is a big part of the story. At least from people I've talked to who prefer earth grown diamonds, this is something that's come up multiple time

I agree with you, which is why I put real diamond in quotes here. Lab or earth grown, both are real. Sadly, not everyone sees lab grown as having as much desirability as earth grown diamonds. While I would be open to receiving a lab diamond

I don't mean to sound like I'm apologising for the industry. I agree with you, the general population don't care about the geology of diamonds. But there's definitely this feeling that lab grown diamonds are seen as this

The "you" here is someone buying a mined diamond. I would imagine you're right on status being one of the top reasons someone buys a diamond in the first place. There's other reasons (aesthetics, tradition), but I think

I'm not in America, but she studied jewellery and has a deep interest in gemstones. The story of it being formed in the earth over a long period of time is what gives earth diamonds something that lab diamonds just don't have, pur

by lewisflude 5y ago
When you buy a mined diamond, you are paying for the story, of it being a finite thing, formed in the earth over a very long period of time. Lab grown diamonds don't have that story. Separately, the work that goes into cutting/fin

In the UK at least, there is an "engagement ring" that has a diamond typically, and then a "wedding band" that is typically a gold (or silver) band that goes next to the engagement ring on the ring finger, with a similar

Not married, but engaged! I ended up buying a diamond on James Allen (they allow you to select earth created or lab created). They allege their mined diamonds are "conflict free" https://www.jamesallen.com/educatio
