  • Have you heard of “induced demand” courtesy of the FuckCars community?

    Well, the same applies to violence.

    If you have police on campus people subconsciously expect violence. It’s a self-fullfilling prophecy. The more security theatre you add, the more actual security you’ll need.

    Normalizing shootings by giving them such media attention also doesn’t help, if the prospective shooter craves it. Neither does the fact that it occupies a large part of the US public consciousness.

    Some kids do it because others have already, and because school shootings are such a hot media topic.

    “non-POSIX compliant” = compliant with non-POSIX (whatever “non-POSIX” may be)

    “POSIX non-compliant” = not compliant with POSIX

    The best way to say what OP did would be a simple “not POSIX compliant”. Looking back, that’s exactly what was said in the post. The meme itself is, unfortunately a different story.

    Posix non-compliant was used in the meme because the author wanted to save on words in the puchline. “Using a shell not POSIX compliant” lacks a few words and is syntactically incorrect. “Using a POSIX non-compliant shell” saves on words, and is syntactically correct, but makes the sentence more complex.

    All in all, the “non-” prefix is a bit finicky in english and can usually be avoided.







  • 500% import duty is way too much.

    80% is enough.

    High one-time taxes are not a good idea.

    Rather dilute them into 8 seperate yearly taxes.

    A curb weight tax of 40% sounds reasonable. A fuel inefficiency penalty of 25% also sounds good.

    At least a 15% tax on anything shorter than 1 meter being invisible from the cabin is also very warranted.

    That’s 3 of 8.

    Additionally, whenever a truck is involved in a crash treat it disfavourably. That should drive up insurance premiums.

    So with my 80/80 tax mix they’d actually pay 880% tax in the first 10 years of ownership with 3 basic taxes.
