Our newer class-D amplifiers are absolutely tiny and throwing insane amounts of power. 220W per channel and 350W for the sub on mine. Needs a 36V 30A power supply to operate.

And yet you post a link with literally two fucking memes as readable content if you don't have an account.

Get fucking real.

The systemd version takes a similar approach - only handling the 99.9% use case of running a local command as a different user based on some basic rules and only really providing a userspace implementation without suid.

IIRC that use case is about 15% of OG sudo's code but most distros carry around all the features. I dunno, maybe it can be compiled without those but I don't see that in distros I've used.

Corporatism is a distinct concept from Capitalism. That's the one you're describing. There's been a psyop by Socialists to describe corporatism as capitalism so they get more of a merger of business and State (fascism).

Corporations are creations of a government in which governments get a cut and politicians get bribes in exchange for protection from justice for the corporate actors' crimes.

If you read Adam Smith he described this as Mercantilism in his time and recommended free market capitalism as its antidote with an emphasis on the accumulation of capital and investment into more competitive production.

Von Mises fleshed this out more a couple centuries later (followed by Hayek and Rothbard). The definitive work is /Man, Economy, and State/ which breaks it all down in tremendous detail.

Notably corporations in the early USA were limited to public works projects and had time-limited grants (e.g. for building a bridge or later the railroads).

JD Rockefeller bribed Congress during Reconstruction to make corporations permanent, so he wouldn't lose his charter for Standard Oil. He later wrote the Sherman Anti-trust Act to hurt his competition.

Today we have immortal psychopathic corporations with a legal mandate to be depraved and with legal personhood. The Dulles brothers created the CIA to fight wars and conduct assassinations on behalf of the corporations. cf. United Fruit or the Pepsi War.

After the Revolution remember to forbid corporations. The Gini Coefficient is too damn high.

Hot dog on a bun with glyphosate, chips with BHT, ketchup with HFCS, pickles with Polysorbate 80, and a large Coke.

Hot dog caused Diabetes! Q.E.D.

This is why every civilization for thousands of years have made sausages. To make everybody fat and insulin dependent!

TRUST THE EXPERTS.

I find one study, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fcenters-a... that says,

The beneficial impacts of carbon dioxide on plants may also be limited, said co-author Dr. Philippe Ciais, associate director of the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences, Gif-suv-Yvette, France. “Studies have shown that plants acclimatize, or adjust, to rising carbon dioxide concentration and the fertilization effect diminishes over time.”

“While the detection of greening is based on data, the attribution to various drivers is based on models,” said co-author Josep Canadell of the Oceans and Atmosphere Division in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation in Canberra, Australia. Canadell added that while the models represent the best possible simulation of Earth system components, they are continually being improved.

And this, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticle... which is an actual experiment, that says,

Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N) deposition affect plant communities in numerous ways1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Nitrogen deposition causes local biodiversity loss globally12,13,14, but whether, and if so how, rising CO2 concentrations amplify or dampen those losses remains unclear and is almost entirely unstudied. We addressed this knowledge gap with an open-air experiment in which 108 grassland plots were grown for 24 years under different CO2 and N regimes. We initially found that adding N reduced plant species richness less at elevated than at ambient CO2. Over time, however, this interaction reversed, and elevated CO2 amplified losses in diversity from enriched N, tripling reductions in species richness from N addition over the last eight years of the study. These interactions resulted from temporal changes in the drivers of diversity, especially light availability, that were in turn driven by CO2 and N inputs and associated changes in plant biomass. This mechanism is likely to be similar in many grasslands, because additions of the plant resources CO2 and N are likely to increase the abundance of the dominant species. If rising CO2 generally exacerbates the widespread negative impacts of N deposition on plant diversity, this bodes poorly for the conservation of grassland biodiversity worldwide.

Bio-diversity is important. And from my knowledge of greenhouses, which admittedly involve higher levels of CO2, plants really need other fertilizer to healthily benefit from raised CO2 levels

Well, your buying power would be crippled.

After an Iranian missile hit, at least, the parking lot of Microsoft Israel, several reports came out saying that they were helping the IDF with genocide operations in Gaza.

I don't know if it's true but those are the real reports.

The timing and 'quiet' character suggests Pakistan might have told them to get the hell out.

"Developing story" as they say.

OTOH, there are examples of countries with proportional representation where to form government you get coalitions that include very extreme parties. Israel and Italy are 2 examples. Proportional representation works best where consensus is normal, something America is not known for.

Might come up with a new religion as the stars slowly vanished, though most of them are far enough away that we wouldn't notice they are gone for a long time.

How common of a name is Soham Parekh in India?

At one time I was in a tech group with three Mike Johnsons. Assuredly different people, though slightly confusing.

But I don't really feel sorry for these startups going for global minimum wage and getting burned.

Hire an American named Steve from Akron and you'll be less likely to be scammed.

Probably depends on its characteristics.

He had quite an amusing series of papers popping the bubbles of all the 'debunkers'.

He never proved what it was but he sure proved many things that it wasn't, as claimed by ThE eXpErTs.

Midwit scientists abhor an unknown and run to bad ideas like a safety blanket.

FWIW his grad student at the time had the better ideas, involving relative motion of solar systems within the Galactic Plane. His models were the best fit for the available data.

What makes you think there will be increased plant growth? Possibilities include,
1, populations of plants getting wiped out due to climate change. Plants don't migrate very quick.
2, increasing CO2 without increasing other nutrients results in sickly plants. That's why in greenhouses they add lots of 20-20-20 with micro-nutrients along with CO2 to increase healthy leave growth. Some crops like less nitrogen and higher potash and/or potassium, either way they need more nutrients along with CO2.
3, some types of photosynthesis do not respond well to increased CO2, mostly grasses including many of our crops such as wheat.
Even if you are correct, increased oxygen levels make combustion happen easier.

Yes, just like humans love sugar, and the affects of a sugar or CO2 diet are similar between plants and humans.
We need healthy plants, not sickly spindly plants. That's why greenhouses boost all nutrients instead of just boosting CO2.
