  1. Re: Scam on De Beers To Sell Diamonds Made In a Lab (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    No idea why you are modded 0 but this is /. so whatever.

    You are totally right and of course they are real and made some can become a bit flawed or better I don't know.
    Anyway this seem like a perfect opportunity to ruin their business if enough people claim and act like there's no difference and doesn't matter and lab made is just as good and so on.

    It's easy to understand why they choose their position but it will only work if people actually buy it.

    Yeah. But I said they had water. Not that it wasn't without issues.

    USA could afford desalination of necessary I suppose.

    Pakistanians maybe not. Even if they use less of it.

    I never said anything about population growth of USA.

    But Americans still have water.

  8. Here in Sweden houses use good isolation because otherwise it would be very cold in the winter.

    I do realize bodies and cooking and fridges and freezers generate heat for instance, so there's that, then again flushing the toilet and such could provide some cold.

    But how much of it is simply people wanting the convenience of easy access to the outdoors or whatever the reason is?

    But yeah, electronics generate heat. Anyway, if you live in UAE and build a large building and insulate it well I'd imagine the cooling cost is much lower than otherwise, maybe they already do insulate well? Or they don't?

    I'm as racist as necessary but I want to sarcastically say:

    Syria & Iraq seem to be going pretty well regardless of whom doing it.

    He's doing what he said he'd do with Iran. No idea how that ends.

    I don't know how the wall is going and relations with Russia seem to have weakened but I guess that may more be the result of the deep state rather than something Trump really wished.

  13. We know what we let out increase temperature and we know we have let out more and more and in the case of CO2 that more of it is in the atmosphere.
    The CO2 levels are facts. There's nothing to figure out there. Same with the carbon acid in the ocean. Same with tan lotion and reefs. Same with gases from spray bottles and the ozon hole.

    Where we lack evidence would be in the "it's not human made!" area.

  16. Bit of a fake news story from /. on Facebook Deleted 583 Million Fake Accounts in the First Three Months of 2018 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    "Facebook boasts 2.2 billion monthly active users, and if Facebook's AI tools didn't catch these fake accounts flooding the social network, its population would have swelled immensely in just 89 days."

    I have ~four Facebook accounts but only three I keep track of but I use them over each others as I get banned and Facebook definitely haven't removed any of them meaning they let me have at-least three accounts.

    From the part about one could kinda see some speculation about how 600 million more accounts on top of 2.2 billion would be a large increase but either Facebook see my three(+) accounts as unique active accounts and if so 2.2 billion become off from the real user-base with people like me (we may not be all that many, but yeah, as far as numbers goes there's plenty of "fake" already) or they have figured out I'm one and the same person but let me be and if so they aren't counting all the accounts.

    I guess maybe they do count all my accounts but if so that just mean Facebook have a smaller user base than what they say.

  19. GNU/Linux is better on Ask Slashdot: Is It Linux or GNU/Linux? (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Call it what you want but just as with saying "I'm vegetarian" doesn't necessarily explain it well saying GNU/Linux is better for instance to separate from Android (I guess that too have GNU software though?) or Tizen or whatever if that's your intention. Depending on what you mean it's fine calling both Linux systems.

    Calling it Debian could had been better except there's multiple Debian distributions so you'd have to specify more. But Fedora is fine I guess.
