That is not true. 1. FAA has chapters about skydiving operations. They are simple and tiny, but they exist. 2. USPA has rules. USPA members has to follow them, even when they jump not in USPA locations. And yes, Lodi is known for their oper

I have never been a tandem instructor, but AFF instructor, where we teach people to jump on their own. The satisfaction of seeing how much happiness those people get is undescribable. For skydivers in the sport - this task is not terrifying

That is not entierely true. 1. Pilot still follow FAA, and there are chapters about skydiving operations in FAA for pilots. 2. USPA Members have to follow USPA rules even if they jump not in USPA DropZones. 3. The gear manufactures (especia

I feel as safe as driving a car. Except being on a plane, that is the main risk I take. I am a certified FAA Rigger, 1500 jumps, used to be an AFF Instructor.

Skydiving is much more safe than you think https://www.uspa.org/discover/faqs/safety 1500 jumps in 5 years (not that much), 1 reserve ride, one twisted ankle in early 100 jumps.

I believe they describe AFF Level 1 jump, where there are two instructors waiting for the student to pull the "line and you are on your own" which they describe a bridle of main pilot chute to main canopy. The idea of this jump is

I feel like locals always say that about any DropZone near them. I have heard the same about my previous home DropZone and the current one. Both are very active DropZone (tops of the USA). But yeah, every skydiver has heard about Lodi.

Russia had the same story when about 15 years ago they tried to move their postal service away from Microsoft. They spent a lot of money to teach personal, and I believe it was a disaster at the end. Microsoft just gave them a discount late

I am on my own since 2018. So 6 years at this point. The thing is, I will be honest with you, I am not sure how happy I will be now to work for somebody. I am so not missing all that corporate bullshit. Tiers of management, unnecessary comp

I guess I am a little behind in trends. Working on VR/AR app for visionOS, Vision Pro. Social network (like instagram) for sharing panoramas, 360 photos and spatial videos. Pretty fun project! https://immersishare.app/

By the same, I mean to match what we already get in most places as download speeds, at least 100-200mbps. Every household use google or apple photos app that upload backups to cloud services.

The only thing personally I want is the same upload speed as download. So I can connect to my home server and download/upload stuff from it.

As a developer that is the worst price model to be in. If you don’t use a stores like Apple Store. The issue is state taxes. Some states require to file taxes when you reach N amount of sold good in USD. But some actually for number of tran

To think about it… What is the a plan for those tall buildings in a sense of demolishing? I mean they aren’t built for the lifetime of the humanity. There is probably an expectation that in certain amount of years like 500 or more/less

There is so much attention right now at Apple, like we don’t have other real problems. Reminds me of masmedia in Russia, when they show how bad things are in other countries. (I am originally from Russia). With Apple - I am a user and devel

If you really want to make $10 from a user, you just charge them $12.99. No need for Subscriptions.

I believe Reeder is doing kind of this feature. They release every year or every other year a new version with new version name like Reeder 5. So, if you want an upgrade, you just purchase Reeder 5, but you can always download Reeder 4 if y

These are just a few issues discovered opening the app for 5 minutes. I wish you and the product all the best. And I will be happy to try it again later. But at this point, I just don't see myself paying a subscription for an MVP/

Sure. I understand. But that is something I can leave with. Even just once a day pull the email for me and notify that I have new emails. If I expect anything right now, I will open my email app and refresh it. I don’t get notifications whe

Can you just use the background refresh, and fetch for new emails like every 5-10 minutes or something? Email is not messaging, don't really care if I receive some email 5–10 minutes later, unless I am expecting email (like email verif

Actually, spoke too soon. There is a trial. 7 days trial for annual subscription, 3 days trial for monthly. But I was right about that being MVP/Alpha product: 1. No reply button to email. You can only compose a new mail message. 2. I

It is very interesting, but there are plenty of stoppers for me: 1. Subscription model. I will be willing to pay even $250 for a good email client, that is superior to the native macOS client. If it really adds more features that I need. Me

I am not top 1%, but 3%, and to be honest, I have never been that active on the SO. I wrote one answer, which is easy to find in the documentation, something about JSON serialization with C#. People just kept upvoting this answer for more t
