Check here and try to enter a number higher than $5600.



I know this question might be oddly specific, but i have no idea why it would be such an odd number, and not just $5000.

    @MoziburUllah I mean, how else would you promote gathering money for someone without using their name? "Your donation will benefit the independent senator from Vermont who is running for president?"

The FEC raised contribution limits for the 2020 election cycle to $2,800 for each election period. The primary and general election each counts separately, so for both of those elections the maximum individual contribution someone can give to a single candidate adds up to $5,600. See also this announcement from OpenSecrets.org.

    @FlyingThunder Governing authority is FEC according to Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (as amended in 1974, which is when the FEC was created). It was amended again in 2002 to set 2001 as a base year (replacing 1974) for which to determine inflation-adjusted increases to the limits, with those increases occurring in odd numbered years.

  • @FlyingThunder In general, if a number is odd, it started as a round number and keeps getting inflation adjusted, for which the consumer price index is the US standard. Examples: tax brackets, people's salaries, retirement benefits, etc. I don't think this is specific to the US.

Because that's the legal limit. You can give $2,800 per election, so $5,600 would be a combined primary/general limit.

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
