Great advice about Macbook repair, working in tech and life.



The accuracy of GOCR is very high and it doesn't require any learning.

GOCR is ok, certainly much better than GNU Ocrad, but I've had much better results with Tesseract.


GOCR is simple enough to install from your distro's repository and wrap into a script without fuss though. Tesseract is wildly more complicated to get started with.

If you're doing real time street sign recognition or involved with a book scanning and archival startup, investigate Tesseract for sure. But even then you'll probably want to prototype with gocr first.

It may go beyond a free case. One of the 5 star reviews says:

"Disclosure - I received this product in exchange for an honest review."

One wonders if there might be other reviewers who also received the product in return for a "honest review" but failed to include such a disclosure. The problem, of course, is that if you give an honest but negative review, you are unlikely to continue to receive free things to review.


So a bribe.


When you have 50x or 100x leverage, you will either get rich quick or go to zero quick.


Hoverboards or some sort of motorized shoes


Interactivebrokers is the cheapest at about $1/trade. Thinkorswim has the best software.


Second this. Use IB API to trade. Use ToS for option analytics.


Thanks never checked out either but will now!


Part of a Defcon talk a few years ago included something similar:

It's the device, not the power source. I have an old iPod shuffle that won't charge at all with of those USB wall chargers - it requires a computer.
