It's also a dream object for BASE jumpers. One of my favourite jumps with quite a high margin for error.
The local police are quite reasonable with fines of only about €15 if caught.

Only a small team of three but I can’t say it ever felt like a bad thing. If anything, proud that we didn’t need to train a model to get a decent result and could concentrate on the rest of the product experience instead.
If customers weren’t happy or the results they were getting were wildly out (they weren’t) then might’ve been different.
In our minds the customers are buying a product to produce a result. If that’s from an ai model or a bunch of ifs it shouldn’t matter.

Paramotors are deregulated in the U.K. (and US I believe). It’s one of the very few forms of flight where a license isn’t required. You have to adhere to air law (like flying close to certain objects) but there are no licenses required to fly.
You’d be stupid to do it but you could buy a machine on eBay and start flying (or try to at least)

I'm currently writing something to be published on leanpub. How do you take care of marketing/promotion? Do you just leave it to sell or do something more proactive?
Ask HN: Someone is systematically trying to access my accounts, any advice?
On Tuesday morning I received a couple of 'login attempt' emails on my gmail account. They were unsuccessful and had locations in India... I've had a couple of these in the past so didn't think anything of it.Fast forward to this morning. My Apple ID password had changed (I've now enabled two factor auth and changed the password along with other security questions/details). I've also gone...

I'm working on a split testing service and SDK for desktop (OS X) and mobile apps. Mainly for myself so I can understand the math behind A/B testing better.
