I know what it's like to be you. In the long run, you and your future projects will benefit far more from #1. There are plenty of reasons why waiting X amount of time will ultimately have little impact on the success of your product. A

I believe one of Meteor's intended, future revenue streams will be as a service provider for Meteor applications. If you take a look at the Meteor trello-board ( https://trello.com/b/hjBDflxp/meteor-roadmap ) i

I was extremely high on buying a 3D printer, and then I read this post: http://chopmeister.blogspot.com/2014/08/sifting-through-feat... I think I'm going to wait a while before buying.

There are a lot of possible reasons. There are a huge number of ways one party can "win" before a trial. And even if both parties make it past all those hurdles, no one will want to go to trial unless they are absolutely sure they

As a developer and maker, one of the most important things is to ship. And as someone who is not a self-professed [insert programming language] ninja or a full-stack this or that, I can safely say that Meteor has made it much easier for me

The judge and lawyers ask these questions during a process called voir dire. The judge and lawyers are concerned about making sure each juror is unbiased. How you answer question A regarding topic B could be very revealing of your bias towa

Chevalier is right that the numbers are against you to reach a top tier firm. And as someone in a top tier firm, Chevalier is also right that the work at a top tier law firm can be miserable, despite insanely high pay. I do have to point ou
