Most open source text captchas have ML/DL or OpenCV OCR solutions and more advanced captchas like gcaptcha/hcaptcha you can send to a solver farm like 2captcha. The cost for the farm solutions is pretty cheap.

There are a couple of super easy techniques you can implement. I got mine from the Tim Ferriss book 4 hour work week. I think this blog by him provides a good summary: https://tim.blog/2009/07/30/speed-reading

Your typesetting website is absolutely gorgeous. I will totally keep it as a reference for beautifully simple websites. On the template front: this is exactly the type of resource I wish I had in college while learning and using Latex. Than

CapOne’s API snd docs, technical customer support and their easy to use VCC generation has kept me with them long after I had expected. Other than Amex they’re probably the only big “bank” I’d recommend (and Fidelity for checking).

It’s legal because there someone on the otherwise taking their bet. They’re not making money on the actual foreclosures, just the bonds going bad, which I agree is kinda similar. Some of those trades you could think of as catastrophic insur

Look at all of the incredible things that came out of Bell labs during their monopolistic reign. I think a better way to put it is not all monopolies are bad for research and progress but many are bad for other social and economic reasons.

I think it could be within the budget, especially considering how much is currently spent by employers, which could be turned into a tax and funneled into "California health care". The bigger issues would be negotiating with medic

There is a setting in Prime Video to download the highest bitrate which is often around 4GB for a 2 hour movie, iirc. Totally agree with you on the download in advance rentals. With good enough internet it makes the experience of rentals so

Creatine cycling has been a thing since I started lifting more seriously, at least 15+ years ago. There was often a loading period, where you would take more, and a maintenance period, both normally given as a g/kg or mg/kg value

I'm not trying to prove anything, just exploring. Anyways, I'm talking about the result. I also don't know enough about CA employe law to make any claims, which I don't think I did.

I've done tutoring for people in small increments like 15-30 minutes for questions before tests. That seems similar to micro-shifts though that is freelance. Lawyers have billable hours and work for multiple clients. Some firms do have

Yes I thought one of the things he didn’t like about Obsidian was it is closed source / proprietary. I do think they overlap pretty heavily. I’m personally going to give Obsidian a try tomorrow and see how it compares.

Ah someone mentioned Active Trader, which I think is pretty decent. If you're trading a lot look into Interactive Brokers. I think they're still top of the line for publicly offered trading.

They actually have some cool features to allow multiple scales and scale changes, so intentional accidentals are promoted. This looks a lot like the Ableton Push controllers besides the direct Ableton integrations. I think the unintentional

I'm not sure how playing in a bubble without fans means they are a ghost. Honestly I wish fans didn't come back to live sports. Hearing the game and player noise makes everything much more enjoyable. I think most pro-sports are cu
