Did you know that retina (eye) is the only organ in human body where the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, the microvasculature, all can be imaged without any incision (in vivo)? Abnormalities in retinal images can potentially provide useful information about clinical and sub-clinical cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, and metabolic health of a person.

At Eyenuk we are developing the next generation of retinal diagnostic solutions that leverage state of the art computer vision using deep learning with novel low-level morphological image analysis algorithms. Software/algorithms we develop makes critical clinical recommendations, and the healthcare professionals rely on the code we write to make these life-altering decisions. We are hiring for:

1) Algorithms research engineer: The algorithms research engineer will conduct applied research in computer vision and deep neural networks, developing and implementing high-throughput image analysis algorithms, working closely with clinicians and expert doctors.

2) Software engineer (Full Stack): The full-stack engineer will architect, design, develop, maintain, and deploy software that implements high-throughput (think hundreds of thousands of images an hour) image-based diagnostics. Both web and mobile.

Our stack: python/flask, javascript, Swift, and C++.

While we offer usual benefits (health, vision, etc.), a couple things to mention.

* Guys/gals with young families will find our work environment very supportive (many of us have kids too)!

* We work very very hard (and smart) to get things done, however, in 2016 we hardly worked a weekend (and still met the deadlines).

Send email to jobs@eyenuk.com to apply (US-based candidates H1b or OPT ok).
The largest concerns about basic income are that it will reduce the incentive to work for at least some people, and that it is phenomenally expensive.

Why not solve both problems by simply eliminating income tax on lower income brackets instead? This is cheaper, easier to implement and less politically contentious (we already embrace the notion of progressive taxes, and who doesn't like a tax cut?). It also gives the money directly to those who need it most.

I suspect many people support basic income because they fundamentally believe in a world where you shouldn't have to work to make a living. They use arguments like helping the poor, or putting everyone on an even playing field, or the claim that tech will eventually destroy jobs anyway as Trojan horses for this agenda. I don't agree and I think most people would disapprove of basic income if you told them that it was intended to undermine the culture of working and earning to make your own living.

If you really want to help the poor and the working class, support the elimination of income tax on the lower income brackets instead of basic income. It is a simpler, better, cheaper, and less divisive solution.
Or use LinqPad. I am confused. I'd never recommend use another tool.
Right, I was just taking raising income taxes as an example to illustrate that policies could create zero net total inflation while still resulting in some people seeing an increase in inflation and other people seeing disinflation.
It is definitely less popular than it was pre-ES6, but it is still used.

I personally use it at work every day, plus I notice there are quite a few libraries (both open source and closed source) that are obviously compiled from coffeescript.

There is also work being done on a new version, CoffeeScript6, which will compile to ES6 and future ES standards. Check out the discussion at https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss
Those are msbuild settings, not visual studio settings.

>Between 1996 and 2016, the proportion of Australia's population aged 15-64 years remained fairly stable, decreasing from 66.6% to 65.9% of the total population. During the same period, the proportion of people aged 65 years and over increased from 12.0% to 15.3% and the proportion of people aged 85 years and over almost doubled from 1.1% of the total population in 1996 to 2.0% in 2016. Conversely, the proportion aged under 15 years decreased from 21.4% to 18.8%.

Delmore Schwartz vs. Delmore Schwartz
Some people have a certain personality and that's only compounded by environment. You can't say that it was his fault, because though we want to overcome our flaws we are who we are... we're wired for it at a very young age. Some development psychologists say at the age of 4 if a child is a certain way they will remain that way around their peers for life. So... that's just the human condition.

The law is public domain. At least in the federal system, and increasingly in most state systems, everything is published as PDFs on courts' websites.

But being public domain doesn't mean someone is required to OCR and host it for you. And it doesn't mean someone needs to go and OCR all the hundreds of years of old cases and OCR and host those.

From a table within the source:

Benefits:

 More equal distribution of income

 Removes disincentive for beneficiaries to
undertake part-time work

 Poverty is reduced but only at the 60 and 70
percent relative levels (2, 2A)

 May improve labour market outcomes in
some areas: more employee flexibility;
encourages unpaid work; additional employee
bargaining power; encourages
entrepreneurial activity; and reduces the
opportunity cost of full time training or
education.

 Lowers administrative, management and
operating costs

Costs:

 Poverty is either increased across all relative
levels as Superannuitants have their payment
decreased by 44% on average (1), or is
increased when measured at the 50 percent
relative level (2, 2A).

 Horizontal equity problems due to differential
treatment of one and two parent families

 Many current beneficiaries (e.g. sole parents,
the disabled and carers) will be financially
worse off under the scheme

 Reduces the supply of labour: decreases
hours worked; increases migration of skilled
workers; discourages people from taking
entry level jobs; discourages further
education and training; and the EMTRs for
families with children are very high
discouraging further work, MFTC (1, 2).

 High personal income taxes have negative
implications for saving, investment and
productivity

 Lowers economic growth (estimated at 2.8
percentage points per year)

 Non-alignment causes integrity and
coherence issues for the tax system
It Depends. I will say that I get upgraded to first class on domestic flights all the time, but have only gotten two or three international upgrades.

In Delta's case, at least, it depends on how many seats are free, and how you rank. The ranking is based on all kinds of stuff. So for less-flown and less-upgraded routes, it's easy to upgrade. Other routes have more people flying first class by paying and more competition for the free upgrades.
Good to hear. I am looking forwarding to diving into it.
Yes but if traffic is moving slow and you're at a stale green light then you simply don't enter the intersection until you know you can get through it. Sure, you might miss the light, but blocking the intersection means everyone your blocking will miss it instead.
You can't give people a tax break if they earn literally nothing. There isn't necessarily an economically sensible job for every single person, and it seems ridiculous to invent bullshit or demeaning jobs just so that people can work to eat.

I reject the idea that working any deadend awful job just to get by is somehow virtuous. I love what I do, and I would do it even if I didn't need to work -- but being able to say that is an extremely privileged position to be in.

We're automating away industry after industry. There already aren't enough jobs to go around, and that will only get worse from here on out. I have no idea what the future should look like, but we have to start by accepting that the value of working at a job to feed yourself is not irreducible or axiomatic.

Apple’s 2016 in review
There are definitely problems with the 401(k) system but I think the article missed a couple of the big ones or misattributed causes:

1. High fees - this is largely because as an employee you're stuck with whatever 401(k) provider your company signed a contract with and which funds are available to invest into. Instead of letting you invest up to the annual limit into the most competitive brokerage account (just like you would for an IRA) and taking a deduction on your taxes.

2. Contribution limits - I'm not actually sure why these exist (maybe someone could educate me). As long as you can't touch the money before age 59.5 (and maybe disallow or restrict borrowing), why is there any sort of limit at all? There's two possible ways uncapped 401(k) might play out -

a. people spend most of their money, put the rest into 401(k) - no different than what's happening right now, little different to income tax collected
b. people spend a judicious amount of money, put most of it into 401(k) - these people (for now, a minority) would pay significantly less in income taxes. But they'd continue working through to at least 59.5 and they'd be financially secure upon retirement and likely to need less government assistance

3. Availability and complexity - As things stand, there's a 2-tier (or even 3-tier, if you count self-employed 401(k)) retirement savings system in America. There's IRA (Roth and traditional) which anyone can access, but has lower limits and less favorable tax treatment at higher incomes. There's 401(k) which has the problems I described above, plus you need to work at an employer that offers this benefit which seems unfair to people who aren't so fortunate. And there's the self-employed 401(k) which I know almost nothing about except that it has a higher contribution limit ($54k). No wonder most people struggle to manage their retirement savings; it's a very complex system that provides preferential tax treatment to people based on their job and employer.

Also, this gem about pensions:

> Unlike defined-benefit pensions, which provide set payouts for life, 401(k) accounts rise and fall with financial markets.

I consider this a bug, not a feature. Pensions pay out the same amount of money to retirees regardless of market performance but the pension fund itself is still invested in the market. They're shielding current beneficiaries from market performance at the expense of future beneficiaries by (IIUC) raiding principal to pay out yields that haven't been realized.

For giving $300/week to all 16+ years old citizens.

Poverty increases because higher taxes have to be levied on income earners (PDF says 44-48.6% range). Single person householders with >$50K; Two-earner households with children earning over >117K; Single income families earning >$183K are worse-off as it will reduce their disposable income. The main worry is people will work less for the time that fetches them $300/wk but the upside is that people will be more willing to take on part-time work; also people might shun entry-level jobs; increase in emigration due to increase in taxes; while immigration from unskilled labour will increase.

Brief 5 min look-through synopsis. Please correct if it seems insufficient.
And I don't think that makes it any more relevant as a maxim here. Social safety nets, welfare, and UBI are all giving lunches to people. Sometimes they produce net benefits, sometimes not.

Throwing in TANSTAAFL doesn't add anything to the discussion.
I'm not convinced...

> I'm sorry but this is just not true. Network effects are important, but there's a reason that people are using these networks to begin with. They work really well.

There's a reason they use these networks to begin with, but I don't think it has much to do with them working really well. The network has to work well enough, but past that, marketing, chance and being an early player are all factors that I suspect are more important than how good the product is.

> As far as I can tell, WhatsApp never spent a single dollar on advertising. Their entire growth strategy seems to have been word of mouth.

Yes, there are other ways to get through the initial growth than advertising. Such as chance, or being there before everyone else. But the "word of mouth" is part of the network effect I am talking about, and it comes after the initial growth. They had to get some initial growth somehow.

> These companies have hundreds or thousands of engineers who work on these products full time every day, driving the products forward, making them better and better. That is not something an open source client is ever going to be able to compete with. It just isn't.

That doesn't match my experience and I don't see a reason it would. If we were talking about a web browser, maybe, but an instant messaging client is something pretty simple that it doesn't take hundreds or thousands of engineers to get right and make into a good product. Since an open source project won't have the strong incentives a company will have that are against the interests of the users (making it into walled garden, centralized, proprietary software that doesn't use open protocols), it won't take much for the open source client to be better. There is not much correlation in my experience between how good software is and how much money the company that created it has or how many employees it has working on that software.
This basic income experiment has plenty of flaws.
Many people get DOUBLE that from government as benefits anyway, so the premise of that experiment is flawed. The disintensives for smallish amount of work still continue.
Finland has additional benefits for rent, additional benefits for supported children and increases to standard unemployment benefits for having to support children.
This isn't really the basic income as most people understand it. It really doesn't replace benefits bureaucracy with something more streamlined that deals away with disincentives.
By disintensives I mean the situation in which reduction of benefits and cost of getting to work eat the salary and there is almost nothing left from the work if its a part time job.
Australia also has an entire continent's worth of natural resources and a population of 25M people. Of course when you can pull money out of the ground hand over fist you can afford to spread a little of it around in the form of generous welfare and social services.

It is a classic resource economy, helicopters of money everywhere during the boom years, take on debt during the bust years, cycle repeats.
This taxonomic question always comes up in HN discussions of personality type - see also, whenever Myers Briggs is discussed.

My take is that some people are well characterized by being on one side of a dichotomy - say, introvert/extrovert, or analytical/intuitive. They really get something out of discussions like in TFA, because they fit the class. And the fit can provide a powerful high-level diagnostic on a lot of otherwise inchoate feelings.

But, some folks are not well captured by the dichotomy - like yourself. These people tend to say that TFA is reductive and simplistic, and does not capture reality.

And both sets of people are right. For themselves.
I'm pretty sure Lexis and Westlaw don't own the text of published cases or statutes. They do own the headnotes which are commonly seen in printed and electronic reporters.

I have a mid-2015 MBP, and have it connected to a 4K monitor. Looks beautiful, but there's some obvious jerking going on from pushing so many pixels.

An eGPU would help solve this issue completely, and I could even go for dual 4K monitors (or more).

UBI represents a massive increase in the level of redistribution proposed, so it's important to remember that it is redistribution and the money will have to come from somewhere.

It's fine to argue the economics, but you started from a false premise. Basic income is not a tool for forcing people to work.

Our modern society has the contradiction that many people are expected to work for money, with poverty or death as the punishment if they don't, but there are not enough jobs for these people to do, so poverty or death results.

First-world societies already have people who don't work for money: children, the elderly, new parents, homemakers, the disabled, and the filthy rich. It appears that there is room for more non-working people.

It's hard to know what would happen under universal basic income in a capitalist society, though localized experiments have been promising. But some questions you posed seem to have straightforward answers:

- You make it sound like drug addicts get unlimited money. They get the same basic income as anyone else. Good luck sustaining a drug habit without a job.

- Child support is derived from the premise that fathers are obligated to work and mothers will suffer if they don't. It would be nice to change this state of things.

- Is it easy to immigrate to and naturalize in a country with UBI? Obviously not. It should be incredibly expensive.

I enjoy "Make Category Theory Intuitive!" (2007), by Jocelyn Ireson-Paine

http://www.j-paine.org/make_category_theory_intuitive.html
Sheparding isn't hard and Google Scholar does an adequate job of it for cases in its database. Doing anything more sophisticated is much harder though.

Take a simple query I needed the other day: when is it proper to file a summary judgment motion before claim construction of a patent? The query "summary judgment before claim construction" on Google Scholar returns a bunch of highly-cited cases, and on the first page only one is even a patent case, and none answer the question.

In contrast, the first hit on WestLaw is a directly relevant case. It's a District of South Carolina case, cited by a single other case, but it answers the question! And that's with a free-form query, which I'd never do. One minute of planning to create a good terms-and-connectors search immediately returns mostly-relevant cases.
The reality is all of those issues you mention are largely alleviated for frequent fliers, and I don't think that's a surprise given the revenues they generate.

When I fly I get a free upgrade to economy plus (it ain't much but the extra legroom is nice) and occasional upgrades to first class, a free check bag, priority boarding, and priority security. And that's only with basic status.

Checking in online and packing only carry-on means I can breeze through pretty quickly. Add a trusted traveler program and it's almost like flying 20 years ago.

My guess is the goal of airlines is to encourage frequent flier loyalty by making conveniences a part of the status benefits, and then squeeze the occasional travellers for more dollars at the same time.
