I wish it was clearer when/how/where to fly. I envision an app soon that lets you 'report' your planned flight activity in advance which notifies the appropriate ATC facility based on your GPS, and logs that you've notified the appropriate agency.
Aside from extending the runway center lines on a map to predict approach and departure paths, you may have seen the heli route on skyvector https://skyvector.com/?ll=42.2662102318687,-70.9130790877564... regarding the harbor islands.

Tesla tried to snag Ive.. Apple retained him...
I have to believe (car guy) Ive gets what he wants at Apple?
edit: Which would hurt the stock (ie Cook's #1 goal) more in the short term? Announcing a car in 2019 or announcing Ive leaving in 2015? I'm thinking was part of an earlier deal to keep Ive.

Agreed, I think the assumption that ticket price is somehow related to cost is the violation here.

FYI take a look at SiftScience and ThreatMetrix products. They wont process your transaction, but at least one of them offers a zero chargeback guaruntee, at $0.03 per transaction I believe.

Also there were over land speed limits applied. Apparently while at BOS you could hear the boom as the JFK-LHR flights accellerated once far enough off the coast

I would agree with your bot assessment.

The proposal and invoicing process isn't fun. Check out some tools that may make this task less painful in the future? something like BidSketch comes to mind.

Maybe you missed it, or it's since been edited, but see item #1: "Groups that submit early have a significant advantage because we have more time to read their applications."

but only if the contract period was for less than 1 year, iirc. and also the issue of authority-to-bind comes into play as well..
for protection from a verbal deal going bad, see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estoppel#Promissory_estoppel_2

how did you and your cofounder meet?
Comment · 11 years ago
agreed, someone to bounce ideas off of and someone who encourages you to continue when you're down.
The closest things i've found for solo-support:
a) micropreneur academy ($50/mo-in 2009- but all solo software folks)
b) mastermind groups
Other Suggestions?

yeah, that 'isnt talked about' line caught me as well. plus mention of the 'Horrible CFO firm' sounds like an excuse. I think id have taken the 'lessons learned' approach.
In the TWIST podcast she mentions her assistant has an MBA. So thats at least one person in the org with at least 1 semester in accounting. So you should be able to create a statement of cash flows and at least a pro forma budget.
Maybe investors would be wise requiring access to baremetrics dashboards or something similar.
