Wait, MeteorJS was funded? I'm starting to think investors are strangely out of touch with the projects they throw money at. Famo.us is the one that stands out the most to me; I have no idea how they got funding or were able to pay employees. Now Famo.us is open source, like it should have always started as, with nowhere to go for investors. Meteor seems like a similar thing, a web framework of sorts with no concrete way to monetize, also in a very weird niche space (Famo.us for people who think they can get away with not making native apps, Meteor for people who think they can get away with undocumented voodoo in their web development). Now Meteor somehow has enough money to purchase a database company? It seems like the only exit they could have is sell their souls to enterprise. Look at Django, which is a complete, robust, mature framework compared to Meteor's collection of magic. Django is a non-profit entity, which makes sense for this type of software. We've all built a web framework or animation library in our spare time, since when did investors start dishing out cash thinking these things were monetizeable?

To me this just smells of bubble, of too much money for too small projects / markets. Of course Meteor could start expanding to new products and do something unrelated to an MVC framework, but there's no mention of that right now.

We're cutting out cholesterol from the diet. Of course there's going to be an Alzheimer's epidemic.

Once you're authenticated in a client web page, lets say you want to perform data storage on your own server using this authenticated user as validation. How would your server validate the user's login is valid to accept user actions?

i had no idea that acres of monoculture crops that erode the topsoil and destroy the land and don't let anything else live on them was sustainable, thanks for clarifying.

start eating animal organs - liver, kidney, tongue, brain, throat, face meat, bone marrow - see how much food is actually in an animal.

Haha, shut up.

Atkins isn't high protein. We already know high protein diets kill people.

Just actually read the snopes article you linked to before repeating the same bullshit that people actually believe. Atkins, the guy who saved thousands of lives of his patients, reversing their diabetes and obesity, died of ________ and was a _______ weight when he was admitted to the hospital.

(1) slipping on ice and going into a coma from a head injury (2) healthy

hypertension? what do you think 60 pounds of bloating is going to do to your body, dumbass?

You're one of the fools who thinks that the fourth dimension is time. Get over yourself. This is talking about a fourth spatial dimension, not a temporal one.

lol no shit, old news

do people still believe salt raises blood pressure too?

keto recommends between 3 and 5 grams of salt per day

your blood is salty, only way to replenish salt is through the diet, especially important if you're sweating

You could only come up with two things that no one ever runs in to?

Git has tons of problems but neither of these are important problems.

Which one do you think will happen first: This guy goes to jail, or this guy gets a job offer?
