mk3··on The diamond world takes radical steps to stop a pricing plunge
Buy Whatever you like! On a Maslows scale of humans needs. Jewellery is in Self Esteem, or in some cases Self-Actualisation step, so If you want buy diamonds if you don't want don't buy diamonds. Tbh I'm kinda tired to see this COSMO type rants on the front-page of hacker news.

The Russian company forced to comply with Russia part says it all. They are aiding regime, don't see them prioritizing real results over propaganda in serps. And who owns yandex yet another rich guy with ties from government. At the moment tbh everything from Russia is a poison pill including open source software.

mk3··on Russian court accidentally confirmed Russian military presence in Ukraine
Anybody speaking against is fascist. Navalny’s organisation is terroristic organisation… Also putting USSR uniforms on hockey players during the games. The only thing which I find funny that a lot of people are getting fed up by this BS both in Russia and outside. And I know people whose parents are living in Russia not getting visas to enter Russia. Old folks and fools maybe fooled that trying to get the might of soviet times is a good idea, but I doubt that guys who saw what ex-soviet countries and soviet satellite countries achieved can tell that they are Top notch country.

Stallman being Stallman, let's move on people.

mk3··on Diamonds Suck (2006)
At the moment I believe labs can make anything you want diamond wise... And somewhere around 2012 diamond grading labs started issuing certificates for man-made/synthetic stones. http://www.gia.edu/gem-lab-service/synthetic-diamond
mk3··on Diamonds Suck (2006)
I have only one problem with this article crawling so high... As it seems an ad for one retailer of Moisanite Charles & Colvard. Also this article was submitted twice to hackernews before, once by the same person before.

mk3··on Donald Trump is the president-elect of the U.S.
Are you kidding me Balto-Slavic languages??? 1. Latvian and Estonian belongs to Baltic language family. 2. Estonian language has also nothing to do with slavic language also as it's a branch in Finno-Ugric languages.

Also using wikipedia as a source of information is questionable. As the pages related to post-soviet era countries are propoganda war zone for Russia and the countries itself to promote the point of view needed.

mk3··on Dear Matt Mullenweg: An Open Letter from Wix.com’s CEO Avishai Abrahami
For me I see Matt as an dog trying to mark what is his and slapping GPL license on top of everything. If so I would like to see some of the woocommerce plugins released publicly as it falls under GPL
mk3··on Dear Matt Mullenweg: An Open Letter from Wix.com’s CEO Avishai Abrahami
People should realise that Matt also has for profit company Automatic and it's mostly defending his cash cow rather than spirit of open source.

Also speaking about originaly MIT licensed editor code which suddenly becomes GPL: Taking someones work adding modifications on top and slapping different license on top wildly unethical. As it benefits only the person who slapped GPL on top. As I know if you use GPL licensed code you must have GPL license. At least in wordpress case: https://wordpress.org/about/license/. So author can not use the improvements Automatic engineers made while using his library for profit.
