The law merely requires you to be registered as a candidate and only prevents deplatforming between when you register and when the election occurs.

I read the bill but couldn't find the referrenced statute that defines deplatforming. It isn't clear to me if social media companies woyld be required to reinstate banned accounts of peoole who run for office or would be merely prevented from banning them.

For our friends the "is it good enough for me to use, oh and BTW what I mean is can you name a selection of random impressive graphics people, because even better if they use this tool at work" software meta-evaluators out there--I really recommend tightening up the spec a bit and figuring out what kind of project or workplace you want to see it used in to determine whether it's "good" for example.

You could even send out free evaluation copies and see if it sticks in your favorite impressive industry. :-)
Could Twitter change its ToS to say something like "If you're a politician from FL you can't use Twitter" and see who blinks?
Since I've started working I've been aggressively investing close to half my monthly paychecks into high-yield dividend stocks with the goal of attaining my own level of UBI.

A few years ago, when I was unemployed for several months, I noticed that doing nothing all day gets boring real fast. I know that if I had my own UBI I'd definitely go pursue some sort of venture.

However, I also noticed that my cousin, who has been unemployed for the past 4 months, is just focused on playing video games, while his mom supports him. From this, I've concluded that the effects of UBI will vary greatly from person to person.

Before implementing UBI, I think we need to determine what % of the population will get bored and attempt to do something else, and what % of the population will just pool their attention into unproductive time sinks - maybe the Pareto principle will come into play here?
That's a nice throwback to scene/warez days

Yes, that's probably the first thing I do in Finder on a new macOS device. I struggle to understand the reasoning behind hiding it by default, since it only contains the standard folders like Documents, Downloads, Movies, etc.

I suppose it's an attempt to conceal/abstract away the underlying file system structure, which probably makes sense if those folders are already on the sidebar.
forgot to answer about jobs:

Jobs don't need to be "created". Either there's stuff to do for people to live correctly or there isn't. If there is, try to find people who'd like to do it. If nobody wants, either people don't really need it, or it's a chore and organize it fairly and locally (division of labour makes no sense for non-qualified chores, it's just a byproduct of inquality: i'm not taking out my neighboors trash, what we could do tho is mutualize our chores). Then distribute the result of this work fairly. Everything else than life-support can be done without too much constraints, but i strongly believe that even that won't "naturally" be too much capitalistic.
Research reveals why some find the sound of others eating so irritating
It might even have the effect of strengthening First Amendment protections by creating yet another precedent in a long line of permissiveness-expanding precedents that began since NYTimes v Sullivan and Brandenburg v Ohio.
The law means the companies can still decide to ban regular peoole at will, but cannot decide to ban politicians. Thus a special protection for politicians is enshrined in this law.

Edit: The core purpose would be much better served by a user "bill of rights" that protects all users against capricous and arbitrary decisions to revoke access with zero explanation.

First off, I'm talking about the case where Mastodon instances collectively ban an instance, not a user. It's pretty easy to set up your own Mastodon instance, and in turn, norms and mechanisms have arisen for coordinated banning of instances with unwanted behavior.

Second, if you choose to keep your keys on a third-party service, then that third-party service can ban you.
The only companies they're competing against are also monopolies.
More of the latter right now, but things like “data oriented design” can help nudge your thinking in the right direction.

I would love to see more writing on this.

The Florida Election Commission will impose fines of $250,000 per day on any social media company that de-platforms any candidate for statewide office, and $25,000 per day for de-platforming candidates for non-statewide offices.
Instead of yelling "sorry" at people, I try to stick with "on your left", "on your right", or most importantly "can I pass you when the trail widens out". All of which are safer and friendlier than the vauge "move-outta-my-way" signal a bell sends.

The central conceit of the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.06850) is the "NN<->PR correspondence" from section 6, which argues that since nice nonlinear activation functions like tanh can be arbitrarily well-approximated by polynomials, then the whole stack of convolutional layers can be arbitrarily well-approximated by polynomials, and that means the whole network is just a polynomial.

And sure, ```technically''' that's true but there are good reasons that numerics aren't just all polynomials all the time (check out Lloyd Trefethen's 'Approximation Theory and Approximation Practice', for example).

tanh is nice and smooth but its Taylor series doesn't converge outside a small region, and the whole reason you'd use tanh in the first place is because you'll have things outside that region. And tanh is probably the best case for Matloff's argument! ReLU has that corner, and I don't even want to think about approximating softmax with a polynomial.

Ask HN: Advice about founder exit package for trading business
Hello,

I started a trading business that is doing really well. We started with $40k of our own funds and turned it into $95M, doing around $6B (2-4%) per day of trading volume of crypto markets globally. (beating market returns by more than 100x). We do not have users, clients, investors or advisors.

We are quite new to managing a business, and we have some difficulties about negotiating the compensation of everyone. We would like to know what is fair in our situation, for that we need an unbiased external opinion.

The question we have right now is for one of the co-founders who is leaving (on good terms). He had a critical role in getting the business off the ground. Quick history of our collaboration: I spent around 1 year hacking on a prototype, by that point I had something promising (went from 3 to 6k in 2 months with good sharpe ratio). He took over the trading engine and data engineering, and made it much better, allowing us to scale to where we are today. He also made improvements on the machine learning side. We have been working together for 1 year and 2 months. We are a team of 5 people (3 joined since then). He wants to leave in about 6 months from now.

As I said before, we have around 95M of assets. How would you structure such an exit for him? Today, we can actively trade only ~20% of capital, so we have "extra capital" sitting around. Because of that we want to structure the exit in such a way that he takes out a lot of capital right away. The question is how much, and what fraction of equity, if any, should he continue holding after that? Ballpark numbers would help us a lot with the negotiation.

What do you think is a fair exit package for him?
Additionally, where do you think I can find a good advisor for such topics ?
Thank you, I love Ladas they and of course Yugo were the cars of my childhood! ^^

Imagine... Cars that you can fix yourself~
Incorrect. The Bill of Rights was written after the US Constitution was ratified.
The part about it collapsing is conjecture (quite a few scholars agree with thus position).
I came to know replit after a coding interview. It was coding editor on the page and I picked Java. I was used to leetcode coding environment. I use tab. My biggest mistake. Every time write something and hit tab, the editor goes out of focus. It was so frustrating that I could barely focus on the coding part. Not only that, it wasn't full screen coding editor. I was coding in small window and had to scroll up and down. I didn't clear the interview, but the memories for replit stuck with me.
"With Elk hardware companies can move away from dedicated chips and use general purpose ARM and x86 CPUs without any compromise in terms of latency, performance and scalability."

Less diversity decreases competition and overall technological development. In the 1980s, some OS developers actually blamed Unix for stalling the progress of OS research.

Wouldn't a world of Arm based synthesizer be kind of stagnant? Sure you can dream that compatibility allows more open platforms, but we all know hardware companies always end up making the end product proprietary anyway.

To be fair, I don't know a lot about hardware. I'd also like to guess that the world of music electronics has been longing for some sort hardware medium to sort out the mess of obscure ISA's and poor documentation that hardware engineers have to put up with.
And what if they don’t pay?
I've used it for years as a go-to solution whenever anythhing vector based was needed. It's a solid tool.
I was in court with a traffic ticket and the “opening act” was a bench trial for a lady who stole beer from a gas station.

Her defense was that the clerk was lying, because Jesus gave her an invisibility cloak. The judge didn’t skip a beat and asked “Did you put the beer under the cloak?”. She said “shit” and changed her plea.
Hahah.. Funny to see this same comment about dropbox ($10B company)
The only useful purpose of Facebook for me is using it as a somewhat modern phone book. It’s a great tool for tracking down old or new acquaintances and establishing a line of communication. It’s kind of what Facebook used to be before the newsfeed and like button. I wish there was an alternative to Facebook without the tracking and advertising, run by something not profit seeking. Maybe an organization like NPR or PBS?
I've found that Inkscape, GIMP, and Krita pretty much fill all my graphics-creation needs, and have never felt the need to use a commercial application instead.

If you have a specific need that you can't figure out how to achieve in Inkscape, then asking how to do that specific thing would be much more productive.
Let's add "illegal actions" and "air-tolling" to the list of infractions we'll bind into a book and place in the hands of the first alien who walks down the long, slow spaceship ramp to greet an audience of utterly irritated human bureaucrats.

(Seriously, it'd be really funny if releases like this became an ever-sillier communications method for government agencies to talk amongst themselves about UAPs...from "who trolled our chopper, not funny" to "where did our Deputy Senior Director go and why does his replacement eat so much sugar, that's enough games folks, stealing sugar packets may become a federal crime")

This is the closest story I found: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-35232827. But I do remember, and I'm sure it was also on the BBC, a piece several years ago where they demonstrated "physical buttons" the the form of reconfigurable raised bumps on a touch screen that was, I think, either on a phone or a small tablet. I just can't find it now unfortunately.

If a company could get that to work well, and it was also robust in the face of day to day wear and tear, being dropped, etc. - and of course it wasn't incredibly expensive - I think they'd probably be on to a bit of a winner.
You'd need to pick a hash that won't have collisions within your expected use.

To be honest, I like this rule.

I'm glad that social media platforms remove people violating community guidelines, whatever they are. I don't want people here on HN who do nothing but post flamebait, and I don't want people on Twitter who do nothing but post hate speech. I don't want platforms to be required to host any and all people.

But it's critical that politicians can reach us by whatever means we're using. They are a special class of people, because they're the people we're choosing to represent us. If a political candidate can't reach an audience because they don't agree politically with the platform providers, that's a big fucking problem for democracy.
It uses a compression compatible with your option of speed or size, and you can specify that or an arbitrary compressor on the command line.

According to the readme, lrzip first processes a single file for long-range redundancy, which subsequently can make the file more compressible by whatever compressor is chosen.
Cable television does not have to provide public access channels. Broadcast providers do since they have formal leases with the FCC for spectrum which is a finite public good. It isn’t formal regulations; it’s basically terms in the lease agreement. The internet is a not scarce like TV spectrum was.
Selection bias, perhaps? They're not telling you at all about the regular carrots, the okay friends, because why should they waste your time with "It's just the same old same old."
I installed Inkscape the other day to try to rescale and save an simple SVG for the web.

When I took a look at the text saved in the file, I was pretty shocked to discover it saved the entire path of the file in the file.

In other words, it saves a directory structure that could contain your username, the name of the project you're working on, what company you're working for, etc.

Felt like a pretty shocking invasion of privacy to me. When I throw up an SVG on the web, I don't want it to contain potentially personally identifiable information.

They talk about respecting their users but I just had to use their legacy site to be able to read this without getting an annoying modal blocking me and asking me to download their mobile app. Very hard to take this seriously.
I am an artist. Illustrator is my main tool, and has been for about twenty years now. And I've never felt much desire to switch when I look at Inkscape's features.

Apparently it still doesn't do CMYK, never mind deal with spot inks: https://inkscape.org/learn/faq/#how-create-graphics-cmyk-col... - that was a deal-killer the last time I looked at it, probably something like a decade ago, and it's still a deal-killer for me now.

I dunno if that's me saying "it's not any good" or not but it sure isn't me saying I'm willing to spend a few days fucking around with something that can't do something my work requires on a regular basis.
I've used it for well over a decade, I'm very happy with it.

You are using wrong / nonstandard notation with no context or definition. Of course I have no idea what you're talking about.

Imagine if instead of writing

(-h/2m ∂²/∂x² + V) φ = E φ

you had to write

“Divide the reduced Plank constant by twice the mass of the particle, then multiply by the second derivative, with respect to the x-coordinate, of the wave-function. To this quantity, add the potential multiplied by the wave-function. This is equal to the product of the energy eigenvalue and the wave-function.”

because you don't want to memorise what ‘∂’, or the superscript 2, one number over another with a bar means, or that the funny greek letter means wave-function in this context x)

> I am well aware of the sizes of the stores.

So you compared the absolute numbers, knowing it would be misleading.

> Are you aware that the relative amount of malware is is not merely proportionally less?

You wouldn’t expect them to be merely proportionally less.

You’d expect malware authors to put their efforts where the money is.

> People using an iOS device can never be sure they are installing the secure app they wanted to install or some switcheroo.

This is complete bullshit. Apps are signed by developed and by Apple. Were you not aware of that?

> Google's and Amazon's app stores are not open source but built for an open source platform, together have far more users than the Apple App Store and far fewer malware installations.

Doesn’t seem remotely true - here’s just one recent example:

https://threatpost.com/unpatched-android-app-billion-downloa...

And while we are at it, what’s your source for the half billion malware installs you claim on iOS?
See linked https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-appeals-court-orde... : rapidly approaching the point where it's impossible to comply with both Russian and US law. They won't straight up ban Google, they'll drown it slowly in court rulings.
This is good news. Rising prices will bring competition that will ultimately reduce prices and increase performance.

Silicon is actually the least expensive part of a solar project. Installation plus the other parts are the real costs, easily over 50%. I hope more efficiency is brought to that part of solar power installations.

Short term it's a problem. Long term I think it's a plus.
This is fun but quite literally the opposite of what a captcha should be. I bet a bot will be able to solve this far easier than my grandma ever could.

Inkscape is good enough for most cases. And it has been for a long time. Like audacity, like firefox, like musescore, like vlc, like krita, like blender... You don't need to be the best, you just need to be good enough and eventually people will help or pay developers; given enough time it may eventually become the most popular on its category.
If they come from Qualcomm they'll be at least as much of a binary blob problem as the M1s, probably with worse longevity.

It's not "noise pollution" in any meaningful sense, except to the rider while it's on. :) But it is a good safety measure and is kind to other people on the trail.

A loud hub isn't a particularly good replacement for me since I'm running into other riders and hikers just as often while pedaling as while free-wheeling or downhilling. Maybe even less often downhilling since we're getting more and more one-way trails these days. I even watched my friend who has a loud hub have a slow mostly harmless head-on with a climber coming around a blind corner last season. Climber got angry but hadn't made any attempt to be noticed whatsoever, it would have been completely avoided had he made any noise, like, you know, had a bell...

My positive experience with it is very similar to what this guy describes, multiple people on the trail thanking me for using a bell. I've never once had a complaint about the noise, but occasionally I want it quieter for me. And I also found his 'secret' trick for keeping it slightly quieter, in addition to aiming it downward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD63c5pgHcU
Here's the bill's text[1].

If a business has a company blog and a local BOE member decides to post spam in their blog's comment section, then there's nothing they can do about it if they have $100 million in revenue or 100 million users.

Unless, of course, they're an amusement park or entertainment complex. Then they can block whoever they want.

> (g) “Social media platform” means any information service, system, Internet search engine, or access software provider that:

> 2. Operates as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, association, or other legal entity;

> 3. Does business in the state; and

> 4. Satisfies at least one of the following thresholds:

> a. Has annual gross revenues in excess of $100 million, as adjusted in January of each odd-numbered year to reflect any increase in the Consumer Price Index.

> b. Has at least 100 million monthly individual platform participants globally.

> The term does not include any information service, system, Internet search engine, or access software provider operated by a company that owns and operates a theme park or entertainment complex as defined in s. 509.013.
