Thanks!

My understanding is they are looking at page management activity and whether it increases above what they would expect if they didn't notify.

Some of the details are covered in the paper [1]

>The Markov Decision Process (MDP) is based on a sequence of notification candidates
for a particular person. The actions here are sending and
dropping the notification, and the state describes a set of features about the person and the notification candidate. There
are rewards for interactions and activity on Facebook, with
a penalty for sending the notification to control the volume
of notifications sent. The policy optimizes for the long term
value and is able to capture incremental effects of sending
the notification by comparing the Q-values of the send and
drop action

> The training data spans multiple weeks to enable the RL model to capture page admins’ responses and interactions to the notifications with their managed pages over a long term horizon. The accumulated discounted rewards collected in the training allow the model to identify page admins with longterm intent to stay active with the help of being notified.

Ask HN: Advice on Incorporation (Stripe Atlas vs. Clerky)
Hi HN,

I recently left my job to focus on a company I'm starting, and I'm thinking about incorporating. I'm trying to decide how to go about doing this and was hoping to get some advice from others who have gone through this experience.

I don't have any cofounders, but I'm planning on incorporating with a Delaware C corporation because I'm expecting to have paying customers soon, and though I don't have any immediate fundraising plans, I want to leave open that possibility in the future. Am I correct that it makes sense for me to incorporate now?

Secondly, I'm trying to understand the differences between Clerky and Stripe Atlas, the two services I'm considering. I've ready the Satchel guide (https://satchel.com/incorporation/), but the issues they ding Stripe Atlas for don't seem like a huge deal to me. I also like that Stripe Atlas would be integrated with Stripe and would open a bank account for me, as I'm planning on using Stripe to accept payments. On the other hand, I've seen pretty universally positive reviews from people who have used Clerky. Any have any opinions on which one is better?

Lastly, I'm pretty confused by Clerky's product offerings (https://www.clerky.com/pricing). They have a "Company Lifetime Package" for $799, and then a bunch of different "Pay Per Use" items (https://www.clerky.com/pricing#pay-per-use) that you can buy separately. The formation pay per use items include Incorporation (which I know is necessary), as well as "Post-Incorporation Setup" and "Foreign Qualification". Does anyone know which of these are actually necessary for me?

I'm leaning towards Stripe Atlas, as it only has a single offering. Everyone seems to like Clerky, but I'm concerned about either overpaying for services I don't need, or neglecting to choose some item that I'll later find out I needed.

Thanks in advance for the help!

No, there are programming languages that are just plain bad to use, his philosophy is wrong not only for datastores but for reality in general.

All tools, including programming languages can be bad no matter the skill of the user.
Thanks for the links. Topology seems so fascinating, someday I will dive into it to pick up concepts.
Wrong. Pixel 4a does have the phone jack.
I have a very strong opinion, that the only way to fix this problem systemically is to have an open system, at least in part.

Not some radar or any other closed system, but public lists of sham & shame.

A $100m Hedge Fund for the People – Interview Requests
After 3.5 years of research and engineering (YCW18), my team and I are about to launch a $100m hedge fund that gives away nearly all of its profits to people who contribute data towards improving its strategy.

If you are holding $GME or $AMC and have 15 minutes to speak with me, I am looking to interview anyone interested in expanding this movement from a "single stock" approach, to a full blown meta game. Let me know the best way to get in touch.
I can see that, I think what I meant was "de facto" (think flask-user) library instead of "official".
“Capitalism and Socialism” vs. “Centralization and Decentralization”
That's definitely the correct move given how browsers work, but I don't think it's wrong to wish for font consistency.
Is Facebook still creating shadow profiles? Whether or not you have an account with them, they might still be harvesting data about you. An individual can't really "delete FB".
Yes they are. Should be banned
I do them as part of work hours, and while not mandatory I do strongly encourage everyone to participate. I think the increased team cohesion is well worth 2 hours a month of "lost" productivity.
what... benefit can facebook offer to its sheeps now with this consent screen? pennies?
I can't say that I agree with everything in the article, but "The Way Out" is certainly something I can get behind. There is great value in understanding where "best practices" come from and what problems they solve. I think it's easy to see there is an issue with mindless pattern following.
Can you recommend some texts that would be good reads towards understanding this subject better?

Even so, the writing is on the wall. The Python 2 repository will eventually become too old to be useful, and the plug will be pulled on it.

So upgrade to Python 3, people, if you haven't. Seriously.
The pandemic has also had a severe impact on the mental health of many people.

Lockdowns and their consequences have been well-covered, but there also seems to be some effect on people (kids especially) that could be pre-disposed to obsessive-compulsive behaviors, with the constant stress of this looming threat causing children to start obsessively washing their hands and becoming extremely cautious not to get infected.

We will be dealing with the fallback long after life returns to "normal".
Thanks everyone for the great recommendations!
> Yes, you can still use python2, but if you depended on pip for your build process (which I would consider "infrastructure"), then you are out of luck for this

Using python2 is acceptable for you, but using an old version of pip is not acceptable?
I don't see how this would outperform 100% stocks over 10 years.

Or in other words, show me the numbers.
Most markets compete on price, not quality.

You’ll see most people flock to where they can get stuff for free or very little, exactly as it is on the web.

We already see a race to the bottom and massive duplication of apps.

It will only get worse if there are more stores, and then nobody will be in a position to fix it.

Apple should be being pressured to do something about this, but forcing the store open will have the exact opposite effect of what is desired.

Joe Armstrong, Erlang, software for a concurrent world. It passes the first criterion: time tested. Not so much the second of having been previously impossible, because Erlang could and does run on yesterday's hardware.

Erlang isn't theoretical. It's practical engineering. It works because message passing is what distributed systems have to do and at scale portions of a distributed system will become unavailable.

There are very specific problems that require more detailed engineering like Lamport Clocks and Raft Consensus Protocol. But not the general case. The general case is "being good enough" as is the nature of engineering.
Identifying Linear Relationships Between Variables in Machine Learning
As everything else in life it's a matter of balance and how you get your message across. You don't want to be the ass who never helps people if it's not his direct task. But then you also don't want to a pushover who lets himself constantly being distracted. I have done both.

I think most important is to be clear and compassionate when you say "No".
If you want forks there are forks. Off the top of my head, Redhat is supporting Python 2 for several more years and there's a project called Tauthon [1] that is "Python 2.8" in spirit. I'm sure there's more efforts I'm not aware of.

[1] https://github.com/naftaliharris/tauthon
The problem with fallback corrections is that you don’t know certainly what the fallback will be, and still further, it will not be the same across all platforms, which is an absolute killer of the concept.

Further, I suggest that in most cases you even shouldn’t know what the fallback will be—that most of the time I really, really wish people would fall straight back to a generic family. I’m tired of `font-family: Some Fancy Sans, Helvetica Neueueue, Helvetica, Liberation Sans, Arial, Droid Sans, sans-serif` and the likes. Mostly you should just go with `font-family: Some Fancy Sans, sans-serif`, and revel in not knowing what the fallback font actually is, because you’re following the user’s preference (well, for the small fraction of users that have expressed a preference, anyway; but we’ll probably appreciate it).

That's amazing. I want that.

I like how clear it is about what it's for, which is the sort of thing one does all the time in other languages that lack a vocabulary for it. I'm going to assume you could put any predicate you wanted in there?
The 12V/5A power supply seems a little undersized for 4 x 3.5 HDD startup. I suspect that it's fine if the drives are started sequentially but the drives will probably want to pull more than 5A if they're all starting simultaneously. Possibly something to watch out for.

5A should be plenty for normal post-start operation.
>Not if it's market manipulation.

But what's the evidence for that? The evidence I've seen so far were some vague/contradictory statements the CEO made on TV, and that citadel/melvin stood to benefit. Not exactly a slam dunk imo.
Depends on the cost of the coin. BTC has been climbing.

I'm not really a backend developer but needed to put together a pretty simple backend recently for a client project (mobile app). FastAPI is really productive in all the areas you'd normally reach for Flask. I used SQLAlachemy as an ORM with Postgres and PostGIS. I had to write a bit of custom serialization stuff with Shapely to fit PostGIS in but otherwise everything was pretty much taken care of with Pydantic. It's a good level of magic/abstraction in that you can rip pieces out easily and replace them if you need to, but if you just follow the beaten path everything works. OpenAPI spec and docs is also really nice to have built-in.

What about the men who were living dangerously by assaulting women? What do you think men were protecting women from? If you're going to talk about war, you have to talk about offense as well as defense, and some significant percentage of warriors were injured/killed while attacking, not defending, and then the survivors went on to rape and pillage. Some of these men were taking resources, not protecting them. For some men to be "protectors" means others are aggressors. If men lead more dangerous lives due to war and violence, you've got to consider how much of that danger they created themselves.

"Protection" that involves attacking others first is pretty questionable from a moral and practical standpoint. "No first strike" policies for nuclear weapons, for instance, would go a long way to making the world safer.

Sorry, blockchain is still a solution in search of a real world problem.

Stock trades happen in real time or as close to it as possible --- and at extremely high volumes at times. Any delay can cost someone a lot of money. No one wants to wait for a blockchain to try and reach a consensus.
This is fake. It's misinformation to artificially drive up the price of silver, so the hedge funds have more ammo to fight against the $GME short squeeze (hedge funds are long silver). Also helps confirm the media is fake, maybe hedge funds controlled the narrative the whole time?

Sell silver, buy $GME (my opinion, not financial advice)
This is a selective reframing of mainframe and cloud computing. Some points to add:

- CICS was largely used to run online apps, using it to process back-end functions grew in popularity during/after the Client-Server period

- COBOL is has become a fairly complex language. e.g. You can write a GUI app for Windows (or at the time OS/2 PM) with it

- Cloud has many dimensions other than shared allocation of computing resources

This high-level comparison isn't much different or worthwhile than saying a Facebook datacenter is their modern computer/application-platform. Yes you can draw parallels but how does this help anyone? Recognizing the differences and making appropriate choices requires details not hand-wavy similarities.
I actually find it quite endearing (aside from this instance). I'm a big fan from when I was in Delaware.
People do not fight for the protection of reproductive resources. The peaceful way birth rates fell around the world these days is proof of that.

People fought protecting material resources. Reproductive resources were only useful insofar as they help you produce more subordinates to generate more material resources. In feudalism this meant that reproductive resources were very important, but in slavery and capitalism it isn't really the case.

Given the realities of military engagements in Feudal Europe - and the rather small army sizes - its not true that sending women to war would cause a fatal decrease in the birth rate, at all.
I honestly don't know. I am not well read in hermeneutics to have any sort of opinion on it.

It looks like Stanford's encyclopedia of philosophy [^1] might have a good introduction on the intersection of truth and hermeneutics. A quick skim of that section appears to fuse together ideas from aesthetics, ethics, and linguistics to build a conception of truth that is not based in traditional positivist epistemology. Again, I am not a philosopher so I don't really know what I am talking about.

I think this craziness encourages fundamental questions -- what is the actual value of this stock or commodity? If you're just surfing the wave of the stock ups and downs and jumping onto a band wagon instead of actually understanding whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued by your own investigations, then you're bound to get screwed some day anyways. However, if you know that the market is acting crazy and totally undervaluing a stock due to fundamental analysis that you have done, then you know you should buy it.
