  • Sorry, I respectfully disagree.

    Too often the "something" which may in some ways be better than nothing, is used as a token solution to soothe the requests of activists.

    For example, banning single use plastics really grinds my gears. People feel like they've made a sacrifice, so they must have achieved something. However, everything at the supermarket is still sold in plastic packaging?

    As in, its not "bad" that we no longer use single use plastics, but its not worthy of being called progress.

    Like on a scale of 1 to 10 for plastic reduction efforts, 10 being "no additional plastic" we're about minus 30. Without this measure we might have been minus 30.2.

  • Honestly, I don't really have any idea how a laser printer works beyond the basics.

    However, someone has invested the time to create an opensource inkjet printer. It's a fair assumption that firstly, they know more about printers and hardware than either of us and secondly, they also know everyone prefers laser printers.

    Those two assumptions lead me to the conclusion that there's a significant barrier to producing an opensource laser printer of which you're not aware.

    My comment, although unnecessarily douchey, was an allusion to the age old refrain of open source enthusiasts everywhere: if the project isn't good enough for you, fork it and make your own.

  • Ok, well... we're all looking forward to you publishing the repo for an opensource laser printer then I guess.

  • Yeah nah.

    I agree that its sloppy language but it would've been more descriptive in the 80s.

  • Probably not that much I guess.

    I mean if you could net $200 or so per hour of turd sifting I'd be game with the economy the way it is and all.

  • I just commented this somewhere else:

    I think this photograph was taken in an era when the only technology available to make an image that looked like this was photography. At that time "not a real photograph" was the equivalent to the statement "a photograph of something which is not what it appears to be".

  • I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic.

    Sure but I think this photograph was taken in an era when the only technology available to make an image that looked like this was photography. At that time "not a real photograph" was the equivalent to the statement "a photograph of something which is not what it appears to be".

    It's such a well established business model now.

    Stimulate outrage amongst sane normal people. Free publicity. Engage with assholes who will buy your snake oil.

  • Nah. I'm just doing a "not completely naive".

    It's possible to simultaneously acknowledge that wealth inequality is a problem and that it's not going to be addressed.

  • Sorry I don't really understand what your argument actually is.

    Since the dawn of writing, legislators (kings / politicians) have laid down the rules. Regulators (police, tax office) have enforced the rules. And courts decide whether the rules have actually been broken and what the penalties ought to be.

    In the vast majority of self assessment situations, it's very obvious how the law applies to ones situation, there is very little doubt. You just follow the rules and face penalties for breaches.

    In those few situations which are unclear, you generally have a range of options:

    • review other similar cases heard by courts which might be analogous to your own.
    • consult a specialist who can interpret and apply the rules for you.
    • ask the god damn regulator where you stand and have them help you self-assess.

    Finally, most legislation relating to corporate behavior has safe harbor clauses. That is, where someone has acted reasonably, taken reasonable steps, and made a good-faith attempt to interpret and apply the rules correctly, the regulator won't penalise them even if they're found to have breached the rules.

    That is to say penalties are usually only applied where there's a breach, and there's no scope to argue that it was a reasonable error.

    This is a fair and transparent structure with which to ensure the rules are applied fairly to everyone. It's very robust, tolerant of edge cases, and the most efficient compliance structure we have.

    I don't really know what an alternative would be? If you want a regulator to publish a list of which apps / companies are effected in what way, that's just nuts. The antithesis of modern democratic economic regulation.

  • Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.

    This is the dumbest theory that only a child would believe.

    Australians have a vested interest in keeping property prices high. Everyone owns property, not just Labor candidates.

  • No it doesn't. Our tax system works the same way. It doesn't lead to overzealous deduction denial because people are worried about getting it wrong.

    Its an efficient and transparent approach.
