So who's the "whale"? The lender has to know. Nobody lends US$400M to an anonymous party.

OKEx's margin terms say "4.7 If the borrower is unable to repay the interest with the asset in the margin account, the borrower has the liability to repay the debt with all the asset available on OKEx. However, if all the borrower's asset is still insufficient, the lender shall share the responsibility."[1] Where in their trading rules do they get to dump that liability on the other party?

OKEx, although supposedly in Hong Kong, claims to be located in Malta for legal purposes but wants arbitration in Beijing. If they were subject to Hong Kong courts this would probably be resolved with less trouble. Many deals are made in Hong Kong because the parties have access to a working civil court system.

Very neat. Seems quite accurate for my area. The least accurate example I found was a spot that takes 25 minutes listed as taking 35 (confirmed on Google Maps). Topographic barriers and traffic seem to be the big problems for other posters, and neither are a huge factor in my part of Western Mass.
We have separated bins for recycling, compost and garbage at every single restaurant in Seattle. Nobody knows what can and should go in what bin. Nobody knows what the containers are made of when they order their food. So basically, all 3 bins end up being full of trash. I know I am not going to sit there for 10 minutes reading the sign, looking at all the pictures trying to figure out if my straw is made from plastic or corn, so it all goes in the trash. I figure I'm doing a favor by putting it in the trash instead of potentially contaminating the entire load of recyclables.
> I have been around fasting as a healing mechanism for much of my adult life and have seen many many lives transformed and saved as a result.

So, you must have some empirical evidence to share? Otherwise this is just hearsay.

> Don't take my word for it. Let this be a spark that takes you on your own journey to discover how insane it is that fasting is being kept hidden from the general public.

Come on. Fasting hasn't been hidden from anybody, that's conspiracy theory nonsense. It's a part of major world religions for goodness sake.

I do believe that fasting has potentially powerful health benefits, I have myself done multi day fasts, but I think you might need to tone down the rhetoric or provide some compelling evidence to back-up what, on the surface, appear to be very wild claims.

Every EU country has a data regulator. These regulators have a range of enforcement options at their disposal, from politely asking a company to comply up to a fine of €20m or 4% of global revenues.

You can see a list of previous enforcement action and adjudication decisions by the British Information Commissioner's Office at the link below. These are all under the old Data Protection Directive, which was broadly similar to GDPR but somewhat lacking in teeth. You'll see everything from a slap on the wrist to six-figure fines.

I found this out when I was migrating code from hg in google code (now archived) to github. The source commits didn't have valid email addresses so they didn't work very well with git and github, so I just rewrote them to something else. There's no special checks that a commit came from the owner of an email address, and there's no way to prove it did/didn't.

Take commit metadata with a grain of salt.
First a small question:

"While a computer might find some pattern in a string, it cannot find the best pattern."

Isn't this wrong? The computer might have found the best pattern, we just cannot know that it really is the best pattern. The two ideas seem close but not quite the same thing, and I think Kolmogorov complexity and its proof is about the latter, not the former.

Anyway, I think the idea of Kolmogorov complexity is absolutely fascinating, and seems highly applicable to a wide variety of human cognitive/information processing. For example, scientific theories appear to be algorithms that "compress" our observations of the real world, and when our theories get better, the compression gets better.

Or music. I think everyone knows the phenomenon that relative novices find certain avant-garde styles to be "just noise", whereas experts find that beautiful and the simpler music boring. Well, if you don't have the "decoding algorithm" yet, the more complex piece really is noise, whereas if you have the more complex decoder, you can decode that piece and see the beauty in it (which appears to be connected to skirting close to the maximum information density you can find).

And so on.

Hey HN -- one of the creators here. I saw a few people mention this in the comments and want to re-iterate: this is NOT a bug on GitHub. This is a feature of Git that GitHub has to support because we often need to push commits on behalf of other users.

However -- this does illustrate a clear reason why it sometimes makes sense to PGP-sign your releases/commits.

I said 1.3m in the metro area, which includes the population of Calgary. A high average salary doesn't necessarily make the whole of Calgary a high income area either. The average hourly rate of low population places can be easily influenced by outliers, like in the case of Nunavut and several cities in Alberta, contractors doing seasonal work in dangerous trades.

Agriculture was a mistake.
Many reasons for this, and many good ones have already been noted, but I haven't seen anyone mention time yet. Americans work a lot. If you don't make friends at work, or you don't maintain friendships from high school or college, you're working on limited time and energy - as are the people you hope to befriend (though you don't know who they are yet). If you have a family, it's even harder.

I don't have kids, and while I don't have a ton of friends, I'm lucky to have some good, close friends, who I don't (imo) have enough time for and don't get to see enough.
I don't think most people would do this. They're likely too shy and/or don't want to put the effort in. In my city, about 25% of profiles are blank on Tinder.

Tinder has gifs now, and you can connect your Instagram to most apps. The functionality exists and isn't used much. Even IG is still mostly photos.
It's not just fear-mongering, it's marketing for a product. (And IMHO somewhat sleazy marketing.)
Git offers the _option_ to sign commits. Git itself makes no guarantees that a commit's author is who it's listed to be, unless you use signed commits.

Signing a commit does not verify parent commits in the way I think you think it does. It does give the guarantee of 'These are the commits that are the basis of my commit', but that is only worth as much as what your signature actually conveys. Your signature certainly conveys you authored your commit, but it doesn't guarantee that the parent commit was authored by who was listed as the author.
A very good point! I was mostly addressing the crowds that didn't understand what this is all about at all.

Frankly, once I understood what terror being a woman in a public space can sometimes be, I was baffled that it is allowed to happen by the modern society. To offset this crap, I always behave in the most politest way possible and don't even hold my gaze for too long just to avoid contributing to this.

The issue really is that some men think that it's okay to lightly harass women on the street, so like many other laws, it would have tremendously benefitted from some kind of educational material aimed at the offenders which shows how and why this is not okay.

Well, now that this comment is long anyway, I think that much of liberal legislation would be much better received if it was deployed along with some kind of education stuff which explains what the problem really is, refutes common misconceptions etc

Look closely... they are "commercially compostable" which means heating them to something like 200 degrees for multiple hours. Throw them out in your compost pile or a landfill, and they'll still be there forever, or at least a really long time.
> This isn't just a matter of knowledge and familiarity. It requires some intensely personal moral and ethical judgments. One person's moral evil (self-driving trucks putting truckers out of work) might be another's moral obligation (getting rid of the life-shortening occupational hazards of trucking).

Absolutely. We shouldn't expect the authors of one paper to decide on the utility of various consequences and alternatives. Also, those consequences don't exist in a vacuum, and depend on other assumptions. Eg: Automating jobs is possibly an ethical positive provided people don't need jobs to survive. And this provides an opportunity to kick off other lines of research and inquiry.

> ...excessive costs from false positives...

Could someone give concrete examples of the possible costs of "false positives"? In the picture I have in mind, papers are not accepted/rejected based on whether someone likes the consequences or not. (as stated in the article)

> It's just possible that researchers should not assume that they're equipped to make long-term predictions or shape the efforts of their peers around said predictions.

I think excuses based on insufficient expertise is a cop-out. There is no social science specialization with predictive models such things. The authors are expected to have the most insight into the specific aspects they are writing on, and generally educated well enough to be a functioning citizen of modern society. If they can vote, they can damn well put some thought into possible consequences.

--

The way I see it, there are two goals underlying this suggestion:

1. Get a better understanding of the possible consequences of different lines of advancement, and, as a community, encourage the "positive" ones while discouraging the "negative" ones. (for some value of positive/negative, which might well be emergent only after much back-and-forth)

2. Get each and every researcher to actively think about the ethics of their research and the problems they choose to solve.

Most commenters are focusing on only the first one; I think the second is equally important. If the focus was mainly on the first problem, we might choose to have editors writing editorials every few months on recent advancements in some topic. Or a conference panel discussing the same. Those will help towards the first goal, but only partially towards the second goal, since most researchers could "outsource" ethics to others.
No - the traders do not get a bonus or discount when the exchange profits, only the potential to be penalized. And the exchange is privately owned. Whether or not that is a better solution than well-regulated markets is a symptom. And arguably less stable - who will open an account with them now unless they offer even more leverage and re-create these same conditions?

There is a certain "herd immunity" to social interaction to the point that nowadays taking down your phone or your book will not make a difference. It's probably not caused by smartphones and media, but they have facilitated the trend.

I don't get it - of course this can be done. The easiest way is to use

git commit --author="Some Name <some@name.org>"

Or commit to the future:

git commit --author="Zager Evans <zager@evans.com>" --date="Fri Aug 3 14:00 2525 +0000"

There is no fundamental difference between a commit message and the commit author, its just some meta information attached to the commit. It's up to whoever is responsible to merge pull requests to check if this commit is actually coming from the person you think it is. Signed commits are one option, others would be to send the commit as a patch via mail (also possibly signed), or to open a pull request as a logged in user on an auxiliary meta-platform (which is exactly what Github is).
It does sound nice. Once you're an adult, does anyone have these sort of relationships/friendships, or is this a thing that only exists in Seinfeld?

Is Git cryptographically secure?

Linus certainly doesn't see this as a goal of Git. Against what threats does the cryptography protect? Has anyone published the threat model of Git? Things I worry about:

1. Can I reorder commits without access to secret keys?

2. What if one secret key is compromised, do I have to resign all my old commits with the new secret key? How do I do that?

3. How do I ensure my list of authorized keys is the same as yours?

4. Can I easily detect that my code signing key has been compromised?

5. How do you prevent a Pull Request that contains a unittest that when run exfils your keys, opens a shell, injects source code or backdoors git?
How many times do you have to observe something before you accept it as fact.

Post-modern philosophers will quite correctly argue that you can no very little about things just by observing them, and in fact can never get close to complete knowledge that way.
Companionship or fellowship would be the primary opposites. Popular people don't necessarily have these, and they can still be lonely.

I was very popular in high school, and I have far, far fewer friends today, but I'm less lonely because of the level of my friendships - to use my self as an example.

I'm sure some people did. The point is billions of people around the world willingly used Facebook, Google etc. Millions funded them. Many millions bought their shares.

My only point is most of the world did all this together, pointing fingers at the rich & powerful is not helpful.
Sustainable financial service/investment banking businesses are based on relationships, not razor thin margins and excessive leverage between parties.
Maybe. In the case of bonds there is more room for an active manager - some bonds are riskier than others, so it is easier to be a good bond manager, which just means read the actual data behind the bond and decide which are going to go bankrupt and which will pay off. (In theory ratings agencies do this, but being 1% better than the agency is enough and you can do that just be splitting the agency categories into more levels) Of could you must be an expert at bonds to do this.

Maybe so, but when I'm done with work, I hang out with my bros and play games on Discord (before that it was Ventrilo/Mumble/TeamSpeak). It may not be face to face interaction, but we're super social and it's great for us. We're always meeting new people and having new voice interactions, which at least for me, is as good (or better) than hanging out IRL. It's still nice to meet up sometimes, but definitely not needed to avoid loneliness.

It's not like I touch my friends much when we're meeting up IRL anyway, and voice is more comfortable to me than being on video (or being visible irl), as I don't have to think about how I carry myself.

Tons of gamers do this and I don't think many of them are in the "lonely" camp. I'm not sure why voice channels haven't seen wider adoption outside of gaming.
