Additionally, it removes a large liability on the balance sheet and makes accounting a fair bit easier.

I also do those. I also climb, slackline, paraglide, ride motorcycles, surf, ride bikes, and read on the beach.

To clarify, it was one landing where I broke two bones. Made a bad decision at the bridge on my 9th jump and broke both sides of my ankle smoking into the side of the canal. I tell everyone I know exactly how I ended up in that situation, w

In short, no. To bring a strawman into this: Would you die for your commute? What about a burger? A beer? All of these things kill people, and all of them can be avoided. People don't, because they like them. They accept the given leve

It does, and most BASE jumpers that I know / have met / have taught are in their earlY 30's.

Active BASE jumper and wingsuit pilot here. Instructor of both. 2016 was by far and away our worst year on record. We lost newbies, heros, and damn near all levels in between. Since then, a few sites have taken a more locked-down approach w

Doesn't it address this in the intro paragraph? "The production of energy can be attributed to both mortality (deaths) and morbidity (severe illness) cases as a consequence of each stage of the energy production process: this inc

Being able to convey information in simple terms and pass along the depths of your understanding are two independent topics. As an example, when we teach people how to fly a wingsuit, we essentially teach wingsuiting (which is a massively c

So as some people further in the thread have brought up, you start flying wingsuits out of airplanes, and you start in suits that are far more forgiving than the ones you'll end up flying. It's similar to how a pilot first learns

Oddly enough (and probably speaking to our mindsets as a community), it was the death of a good buddy of mine that pushed me to finally start base jumping. Here's that story: https://vimeo.com/167054481

Off of a rooftop would be practically suicidal. Wingsuits need time to inflate and start flying, which for the best guys on the planet is around 300 feet. Normal humans require about 400. 'Margin' is a word that has a bunch of d

At Backplane we sold for way the fuck less for not a much smaller userbase. Tech's wild.

Tangentally related - We deal with this a lot in Wingsuit BASE jumping (well, in wingsuit skydiving as well, but wake vortices and turbulence (aka 'burbles') have killed more than a few extremely talented pilots in the last year).

Echoing a lot of the other sentiment here, I think a lot of these points are good, but some are pretty broad statements that apply to a lot of early stage tech. The paid acquisition one stands out in my mind - early stage SaaS or social gam

IIRC this is how the IRS recommends milage expenses are to be treated. The delta of your normal commute = work.

This doesn't seem unreasonable. As a data point, we're just shy of 10k customers with one full-time support person (and two part-time). In my experience, it was the process of setting up the KB and process by which you'd answ

Isn't the supply side of this being neglected? This article (and tbh a few others I've read on it) feels as if they're trying to say the following, but in 500 words: "They couldn't increase revenues enough." Th

Can confirm. Did this all through college. Speaking of 'things that should be tracked' - I'm blown away that it didn't raise any red flags when I 'lost' ~50 Drivers Licenses over the course of a year or two.

The first five times I read this comment I read it as: "To be fair, mixing meth and display logic in a giant function like that is a bad idea in any programming language." Frankly, I agree with either statement.
