No more blood diamonds. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
IF someone made and sold a car that was visually and performatively indistinguishable from a Jaguar, and sold them for $15k each, you can be assured I would buy one and no amount of 'bUt tHe ALlUrE' from former profiteers of that company would not sway me in the least. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Worked for the Tobacco industry. They now have cornered the vape industry. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I bet they are more likely to last with a nice house than a silly ring. I’ve got the same argument against expensive weddings. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
If all cars were sold by a singular cartel and the price of the car you bought was dependent on the value of the cartel's product I think that'd be a great analogy. I want the diamond industry to *die*, not just have to pivot slightly. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I think when it comes to things we put INSIDE our bodies, its reasonable for lawmakers to pump the brakes. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Name a form of government that loves it more, tho. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Goddamn this is funny. Thank you. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Plot twist, Diamond industry in trouble because no-one can afford them anymore and interests rates are so high so people are choosing lab-gems. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
They may be mined out at the macro scale but there are places in the United States where you can kick some dirt with your shoe and find an emerald. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

They played themselves? They made a shitton of money in a way that they shouldn't have been able to.
They've already won, it's just that the game is now (hopefully) ending | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
The jewelry stuff was just a side-hustle. They have been focused on all other applications for much longer. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Highly refreshing to read this from Kandiru -- totally correct. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
In addition to lab-grown diamonds, there’s moissanite and colored stones, all of which are beautiful, and much less expensive, alternatives. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I bought my wife a modest diamond engagement ring in 1977 or '78. She hardly ever wears it, and I would not do it all over again. I think diamonds as an expression of love and commitment are incredibly stupid. You'd be better off getting matching tattoos. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
The main point being is that the countries involved in extraction and production aren't receiving compensation. It's not really an industry until there's actual economic impact in those areas.
It's not sweat shops. It's quite literally forced labor. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Yes ...... Argyle was the largest diamond mine in the world and produced abundant grades of industrial diamonds with just a few buckets of gem grade each year. They reciovered the diamonds so cheaply that they sold them for less than synthetic could be made. Argyle is mined out and closed now so when industrial diamonds can be made cheaper the prices will be low enough to supply the industrial demand. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Unfortunately, that means they can possibly just drop prices enough to undercut the lab grown gemstones and maintain their stanglehold. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Diamond Pro Max Ultra Titanium | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
If I was buying a diamond, the choice between two stones indistinguishable from each other by appearance would be based on price. That one was dug out of the ground would not increase its appeal to me. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
My husband and I had our wedding rings made with my birthstone and his°, with a bridge of small diamonds connecting them.
°Amethyst and aquamarine. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Yeah, but we use sapphire for watch crystals and not for things like phone screens and the glass we use on phone screens is deliberately engineered to resist impacts, not just scratching. I feel like we would be just using sapphire if pure scratch resistance was the primary goal. A diamond phone screen might end up being too easy to break compared to the engineered glass we have now. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Yes, but we don't use it for phone screens. A watch crystal is much smaller and thus less prone to being snapped or smashed than a phone screen. Some watch makers are using plastic crystals on purpose in things like utilitarian dive watches specifically for the shatter resistance compared to sapphire | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
The next thing we will see is even crazier marketing to distinguish between “real” and “fake” diamonds which are actually the exact same thing, only that the “fake” one doesn’t come with the blood of African slaves | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

There’s enough carbon in peanut butter to make diamonds ffs. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Diamonds are garbage. Totally useless and worthless.
It’s GOLD that matters. I get my wife gold gifts, never diamonds. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

I finally bought my wife diamond earrings, Lab grown ones. I always refused to play the DeBeers game but the price is right. She still hasn't worn them and it has been 6 months! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Yeah, I’ve never and will never buy a real diamond. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Blood diamonds | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Hey if your diamond doesn't have blood on it it's not worth anything /s | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Its easy to misinterpret tone when reading print so I’m not upset but I will point out that my comment was actually in deference to the commenters knowledge and experience.
I work in the Gem Jewellery space and my knowledge is somewhat limited to that, which is why I added the disclaimer.
In my awkward way I was paying him/ her a compliment.
Obviously I fumbled it.
My apologises. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
If only there was some federal regulatory body that already does this and they can't sell their meat until they pass that.
We could call it the "United States Department of Food".... no that's too specific.
"United States Department of Agriculture" sounds more apt. We could even shorten it to USDA. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
I’m fixing to propose in like 6 months, incredible news. Hope this dumb ass diamond market tanks harder than the Russian economy. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Salt and pepper diamonds are gorgeous. I picked one for my fiancee specifically because they're not perfect, and they're truly one of a kind. Her's has beautiful quartz inclusion in it I love. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
The only difference between a “real” diamond and a lab grown diamond is the lab one has a microscopic serial number etched on it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
They have enough money to just out lab-grow everybody else. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Just dropped in to say “Good.” | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
damn, almost like the prices were entirely manufactured and catered to the greed of the supplier. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
DeBeers has nothing to complain about after artificially keeping prices up and controlling supply. Alchemy has come to the rescue. Gold is next. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Good. DeBeers is the reason why diamonds are expensive, not realizing that diamonds aren't all that rare as claimed to be. They're actually quite a common gemstone. If you want something rarer, go for rubies, sapphire, emeralds, or tanzanite, just to name a few. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Oh like the ones covered in blood.. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

I worked in a jewelry store as a summer job ........ an attractive lady came in, newly engaged, to get her engagement ring valued. No, not for insurance, but to see if it was real and what it was worth. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |

Interesting - I didn’t know that, maybe Texas would be better suited long term? Hard working culture, good engineering culture, lots of manufacturers 3rd parties there. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Intel are fine with Arizona. Maybe TSMC is the problem. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Not at the wages and unpaid overtime the Taiwanese want to pay. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
TSMC is very far along and has actual production plans, despite the timeline changes. The building looks almost complete. I believe they have already started doing testing or are close to it. As noted, the Feds have stuck a lot of money into this plant. Both Trump and Biden have visited it. They’re not going to let it fail at this point. There are plenty of workers. Intel has been in the Valley since the 80s. But TSMC is going to have to adapt to be able to recruit local workers. It can’t be the sweatshop it is in Taiwan. Intel pays better and treats their employees better.
Foxconn Wisconsin was never built (except for the stupid glass globe) and there was never a real plan for what they were going to do with it. It was just empty promises. It’s not comparable to TSMC whatsoever.
(Ex-Milwaukeean now in Phoenix). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
If the title has a question, the answer is no. Foxconn didn’t get built. TSMC is almost done tooling up one half of Fab 1 and will be running test wafers soon. Fab 2 is being enclosed. The chips act money is earmarked for Fab 3. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Existing chip making expertise in the area, plenty of available and inexpensive land, and the dry climate. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
That’s why tsmc can really only succeed in Taiwan.
Here’s it’ll just be an intel with tsmc logo out front. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
Thought there was a news story last year (could be just a doomer article) claiming that the police often gets call to the Intel plant? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |

Every formulaic game out there is so bad and tired. Lately there have been some games with serious soul, and they stick out and really shine. This would be a nightmare. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
That is like generating a 2D image of a house because wood is inefficient and telling people to live in it.
Do you know how games work? There is way more to it than what you see on the screen and there is no way to make a game that doesnt involve objects in 2D/3D space because thats how things like movement, camera angles, and hit boxes work. That is how physics work too.
Also procedural ANYTHING in games is way more inefficient than loading in pre generated assets. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-05-06 |
