I think you've moved the goal posts a long way there.

A living wage as defined by the Harvester judgement, which seems to be what you are referencing, was based on begin paid enough money to be able to afford food, shelter and clothing for a family.

In the case I'm referencing the dispute is over whether the workers should have their standard break for Christmas reduced from 21 days to 10 days. I can't think of any other companies within Australia that offer such a generous Christmas break, but maybe there are some; i think it would be a very small number. What they were being asked to give up seemed very generous and the replacement of 10 days instead doesn't seem onerous - it still seems generous compared to many companies.

You'd have to ask the workers that lost their jobs if they are now better off having lost their jobs rather than stay competitive with other places by bringing their conditions in line with what is typical even within the country they live in.
NodeKit: Another lightweight alternative to Electron
An update to the post a few months back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14299051

Having stumbled across a few comments with links to various projects on github attempting electron replacements, it seems that the project NodeKit is a bit more advanced and has elements that are somewhat still active. Maybe some coders here would be interested in helping out.
The url: http://nodekit.io/
The repos: https://github.com/nodekit-io

No, I am not affiliated in an way. I did notice that the main dev was keen for pull requests.

Like a few previous projects, it uses the native browser where possible. The difference is that it's also bundling modified (but code compatible) node library (if you want it).

There's still a bit of work to do on it, especially the equivalent electron-packager style bundling, but I thought it relevant here.
I've recently taken up the piano. Being a guitarist, I already knew treble but not bass clef. It took me about 5 minutes to run through the bass clef enough to memorise it, and a few days of practise to 'see' the notes instantly. Learning a musical instrument is inherently a long-term project. Any aspect of it that can be done and dusted in a few days is barely worth consideration.

So, planners there are car-hostile but are still spending billions to deliver as many total lanes as currently exist, counting both the tunnel and the surface street?

If that's the definition we're using, then I'd like someone to show hostility to an interest of mine by spending billions on it.
Well, if its less expensive and more sustainable, then sounds great.

"The 100G program is exploring high-order modulation and spatial multiplexing techniques to achieve the 100 Gb/s capacity at ranges of 200 km air-to-air and 100 km air-to-ground from a high-altitude (e.g. 60,000 ft.) aerial platform. The 100G program is developing the technologies and system concepts to project fiber optic class 100 Gb/s capacity via airborne data links anywhere within the area of responsibility (AOR).

Modern expeditionary military missions generate and exchange massive amounts of data that are used to produce situational awareness and guide decision-making. Much of the data must travel long distances along backbone communications networks composed of high-capacity links that interconnect command centers. While optical fiber services can provide a multi-gigabit data backbone in many parts of the world, modern expeditionary forces require a similar capability in places where fiber access does not exist. SATCOM services can provide some capacity to remote areas, but cannot provide the capacity needed to support the amount of data generated by emerging ISR systems."

We asssule that protectionism is bad because the consumer has to pay a higher price when those goods are not optimally produced. The irony is that less local consumption = less local labor, reducing competition for labor and pushing down pricing power. But the second aspect of this that doesn’t often get talked about is quality. If making a 65” TV in the US is going to cost twice as much as when it’s made in China then I as the consumer will just by a cheaper TV — probably spending the same amount of money I would have. We can often buy cheaper substitutes with the same functional properties.

Public officials go to the toilet. Public officials get calls about private matters during the day.

Those are just the basics where a public officials is essentially a private person. These alone should be enough.

There is a whole 'nother set of cases where it is good for a public official to not have to take into consideration they are being monitored. Most of this comes down to helping communication. There is also value in letting people make small mistakes, or even letting people slack of on occasion.

In short, there is a very large overlap between the arguments against a surveillance state and the arguments against always on body cams. Consider also the phenomenon of 'glassholes'. That is, people really disliked talking to someone wearing google glass because they were being filmed.

This is an important point, and one you can see in practice in downtown Boston walking above the I-93 tunnel - lots of land is still used for off-ramps and on-ramps, which tends to have high-speed traffic, whose presence is dangerous and discourages walking, which is the lifeblood of the city.
That’s fine, but there’s a significant trade-off. You can still use a Bell phone from 1950 if you want to, but few people are willing to make that sacrifice in other features. Or if you prefer you are welcome to securely strap a rubberized feature phone to your wrist and never worry about dropping it again.

For that matter, a toy phone made out of a block of wood is much better at surviving the expected hazards of its intended environment than either of them, but it’s hardly a reasonable substitute.

Given no one checks card signatures, a signature based system relies on you reading your statement carefully and going through the process of disputing a charge, and depending on the scale of the fraud you may well not notice.

With a PIN based system, on the other hand, they're blocked from making the transaction to begin with.
I can't really believe there's a straight up choice between non-corrupt police and bankrupt police departments. It is true that US police seem to funded in ways that create incentives to corruption. An ideological commitment to low taxes means institutions like the police need to find other sources of revenue. This leads to a proliferation of regulations and drug and driving laws that can be used to impose fines, systems like civil forfeiture, and reliance on private "donations".

In the long term, this leads to a fundamentally adversarial and extractive relationship between the police and the populace, and the situation right now where police are widely hated, or at least distrusted, by significant sections of the population.

The solution to all of this is to break this extractive relationship: To prevent the police from profiting from the enforcement of some laws over others, or from seizing property only to sell it for their own gain. And, yes, to accept a rate of general taxation and redistribution that can be used to fund the institutions of a modern state. So long as the US continues to pursue the current tax model, the same shortfalls and perverse incentives to find alternative sources of revenue with exist, leading to the same poor outcomes in so many areas of government.
In Australia you can choose a PIN up to 6 digits, though the banks may warn you that a >4 digit PIN can be problematic in countries like, well, the UK I suppose.

You are misapplying the right. That principle was devised explicitly to protect citizens from powerful entities.

The Zoroastrian way of disposal is rather exotic:

"The bodies are not placed on the ground because their presence would corrupt the earth. For the same reason, Zoroastrians do not cremate their dead, as it would corrupt the fire.

The dakhma is a wide tower with a platform open to the sky. Corpses are left on the platform to be picked clean by vultures, a process which only takes a few hours. This allows a body to be consumed before dangerous corruption sets in."

Well, there are other choices. I don't think it's limited to cemeteries or factories. There are houses and parks, things of that nature.
It’s my understanding that this isn’t totally true. You are liable for the fraud if you have been “negligent” with your PIN and stored it insecurely or divulged it. If the fraudster obtained it through some other means then your bank is liable. It’s true that the merchant isn’t liable.
I would say it's misleading because it makes people think it's "not that dangerous" to be a policeman. While at the same time not presenting the obvious existence of things that "downplay" that statistic. I.e. That policemen are more often than not armed and able to protect themselves. We at least need to have additional data to make any conclusions about it. Not just the plain "deaths per profession" statistic.
I wonder if this "alkaline hydrolysis" effectively destroys prions. With 1/9 people over 65 afflicted with Alzheimer's - and that's diagnosed - I am of the unconventional suspicion that prions are a culprit[1], though I am aware it is not a well-received suspicion. We've known for years that plants can uptake prions. We've verified that in cases of chronic-wasting-disease (etiology = prions) animal droppings from infected wildlife contain prions, which implies that humans may also pass prions through fecal matter and are perhaps more easily spread than popularly accepted. With the common application of Sludge (municipally treated and redistributed sewage) and the primarily bacterial means of processing it, it too seems a source of spreading prions. I wonder if more caution is due regarding the spreading of such a persistently virulent thing, and if the risk of prions isn't underestimated in many respects.

I used to be a security guard after I left the army (no skills in civvi street to get a better job).

Couple of things come to mind reading this. One that security guard is probably getting paid a pittance to do that job and you get what you pay for. Two the guard recognises you and your colleagues, knows you work there and doesn't really care that you're playing silly games because on their wage it's not worth the hassle pulling you up for you to get all high and mighty about the inconvenience of a lowly security guard daring to question you. Three that single guard, whilst ostensibly there for "security" is really just there for show, there's no way a single lowly paid guard can possibly provide security for a building housing 8 or 9 companies even with the best intentions.

My experience as a guard was that the employees of the companies within the building treated me with contemptuous distain until something happened at which point it was righteous anger.

There are a lot of Chinese with Canadian citizenship who are not foreigners but are still leveraging foreign sources money in their real estate transacstions. Vancouver (and Toronto's) exposure to the Chinese asset bubble is much more pronounced then it looks even on paper. Anyways, salaries provided in those cities are nowhere near sufficient to support the real estate markets being driven right now primarily by Chinese money. It won't end well at all, it will be very predictable in hindsight.

Seattle is very different. Sure, we have our share of Chinese speculation, but it is the $200k salaries driving most of the bubble. It doesn't pop until tech does.

Or maybe a combination of the two? I have met quite accomplished manipulators who seemed to work entirely from gut feeling and be entirely unaware of all the different techniques they were constantly using to get their own way.

It's good to see (from the existence of these new articles) that companies are slowly starting to realize that security isn't something to sweep under the carpet and hold in distain.

What do you mean by "righteous anger" though? It sounds like there's a potentially interesting story (or three) hiding in there...

> The first step was getting the body cams

Nonsense. Cameras will be always used to benefit only the police as long as they control them: it's easy to cherry-pick what to record and, later on, what to release. It's easy to take off a camera altogether.

You need 3rd parties (e.g. bystanders) to be able to record what's happening and stream it it safe storage in real time.

heh, I came here thinking about Olivetti.

Two things about this company:

It kinda was the Apple of the bureaucratic era. They had advertisement about how their furniture and machines would make work heaven on earth. All this for a bit of modular desks and drawers. Ok and nice electromechanical calculators. But the marketing speech is exactly the same as today. Buy our stuff so you feel you reached the top of the world of the year <insert any year>. [1]

Other thing, Olivetti invented a bunch of things in the days of early calculators, they were HP competitors. I remember the Olivetti living room TV computer and thought how come they missed the computer turn that much and died ? Well they didn't, capitalism pushed them into the grave. The Benedetti family, owner of Olivetti, did some stock acrobatics in the early 80s and failed massively, so they had to trickle down the loss just at the time Olivetti needed financial support to ramp up personal computer research and production.

I have no words for the amount of regret for the missed opportunities...

but to be honest, it’s the Italian true spirit: a bit sleazy, servile, unwilling to take any risk to the point of being a hostile reactionary.

Like I say I can't comment on the US system regards it's policing practices, from the outside looking in it all seems open to abuse. Where I come from the government funds the police, they don't make any profit from the likes of tickets etc.

Currently the police are savagely being under funded as are all public sectors and crime is on the rise but the difference between the police and other public services is that people seem to understand why the other public services are not performing as good as they were, but it's the fault to the police they aren't performing as good.

Like I said I would love to see bodycams on all police but as with every public body ICT project it will be mismanaged and cost way more than it needs to. Currently the police where I am can't afford it.

That's nonsense, and I bet your comment will justifiably get down-voted to oblivion. On the other hand, I suspect many HN users will agree with your general sentiment.

My response is that the political spectrum is cyclical. Therefore, as you move far enough in one direction, you wrap around to the other side, like the edges of a PacMan board.

One example, in my opinion, is the idea that the "majority" or the "expert leaders" or "(pick your group)" are correct, and should be given absolute power. This then leads to horrible oppresssion, and destruction.

Anyway, you should free your mind up a bit.
