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…

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 do…

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. Sinc…

About half are American, mostly from middle-class backgrounds.

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…

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 wingsu…

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…

Wingsuit instructor here. Can confirm.

I traded space in the crisper for an app that's octopus recipes?

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

The Great Book of BASE - BASE Jumping, written by Matt Gerdes

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 …

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 acquisitio…

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 sett…
