Sorry, I wasn't really commenting on this exact situation in particular - more the general problem of enthusiast drones which is becoming quite a hot topic in my country (UK). I'm sure they had insurance and I'm sure the pilo

I used to fly remote control aeroplanes as a hobby. There's a really strong culture of having a licence and insurance before you're allowed to fly solo. You have to pass a test before you can get insurance, and there are more test

Running a mail server is easy, providing a mail service is HARD. Deliverability is really difficult. Being online all the time to make sure you're always recieving email is hard. I was constantly plagued by worry that the important ema

Have you ever run your own mail server before? edit: I've never spoken to someone who has and says it is 'easy'.

Thanks. Do you know where I can find some numbers on this? It's something I've always wondered. We're told by the media that 90% of heroin addicts are on the street stealing to maintain their habit - but I wouldn't be su

Please stop saying I've said things that I haven't. We can't have a conversation if you do that. I didn't say you should be punished for doing your taxes badly. Your parking example is terrible. If you get a parking fine

I don't think this is a good list for a side project. Every side project I have ever attempted has taken me ages and never got anywhere. Saying things like localisation need to be done before your MVP ready is nuts. I'm working on
