True.

I guess it is a matter of what shape is grown. For some reason I thought a flat plate being sublimated onto but I honestly don't know.

But if you can get a flat plate made from diamond then a clever design should be able to use that.

But never mind the practicality - as long as it doesn't leak - then marketing could have a field day...

So.

1. They can grow diamonds.

2. Diamonds are good for heat conduction in the liquid-water-temperature range.

3. Diamonds are good for electrical insulation.

Where are the full diamond water blocks for the water cooled RGB bling computers?!?

> it's glorified cock fighting for kids

I never "got" Pokemon.

The trainer is all lovey-dovey over their pets... NOW fight! One. At. A. Time.

I kept wanting police to roll in with oversized nets and tranquilizer guns to break it all up.

Experience is what you get, after you needed it.

> We have captured intelligence in a bottle, and you’re telling me that “Ok class, turn to page 17” and “Does anyone know how to solve for x” are still going to be around in the 2030s?

A competent teacher (doesn't have to be brilliant) puts a floor on basic levels of understanding in a variety of topics.

Without which, a resourceful LLM-guided child - while possibly being a brilliant mathematician - may well come out believing Wicca can heal cancer with the right rocks.

I am looking for anything to back up this statement.

> Anything dealing with user deletion should go through a well established, legal approved process.

Which seems prohibitive. As though someone's personal emails/tweets/images on a free account are somehow protected from the whims of a high enough exec.

But as far as I can tell, it is within legal bounds for a business to freely give and taketh away free accounts if they wish. The only thing stopping them from mass account deletion is public perception.

> The difference is that meta is providing that service world wide.

So where is the cutoff? My one free user obviously didn't make the cut. But 100 does? 1000?

Normal logs/bookkeeping need to be kept anyway if you are running a business. And special legal letters are special by definition.

I'm still not seeing why google outright couldn't delete a million random free accounts if they wish. It'd be bad for reputation but execs have done similar in the past.

I am not saying I like it. I am not saying I want it to be a certain way.

I am trying to point out that all these free accounts are running on servers provided by a business. They are subject to the whims of the business and the market the business operates in. If the business fails, so do the accounts.

Sure, ok. But whatever happens is still an internal process. Not a legal one.

> Anything dealing with user deletion should go through a well established, legal approved process.

If I give you an account on my linux box I don't have to go through any externalised process to delete it.

Why is Whatsapp(or any of the big players) any different? It's just an account on someone else's computer.

Is there something else at play I am missing?

> Creators should be allowed to create things and sell them.

I'm in two minds over this.

In a free for all, money wins. No small-money creator would get to profit from a truly great idea. Someone with more money simply copies it, builds it bigger/faster/better-logistics with more market budget.

At least let the creator sign over rights to their idea - even if the terms are unfair.

But once an object is in your hands. It should be free for you to do what you want with it for yourself. Deadmau5 legalities over his purrari should not be a thing.

You two are arguing over a timeframe.

Limit IP laws to 20 years.

Humans go from birth to being released into the public domain as an adult in roughly that time. Why are ideas somehow not in the Public Domain after a generation has grown up?

That way Jack Kirby gets to make his money. Jack's kids can live off his money. But Jack's ideas are free to use after doing their time.
