I'm commuting 2+ hours twice a week for school, and I don't have time to actually eat (real) food in between work and school. Having a decent meal replacement for that is helpful, so that I don't end up eating garbage.

Where did you look for consulting? Just anywhere and everywhere that seemed relevant? We're just joining the accelerator now, so we aren't going to have much to pay out for living expenses for the team. Up front, it's probably going to be funded with my (minor) savings, and student loans if I can't get freelance work.

Beyond the initial amount given by the accelerator? My other concern is time, since I'd be working almost two full time jobs + school. I feel that you're probably right though. It's just a big jump.

Congratulations! I remember looking at Ember way back and bring really unsure since it was all over the place. You all have done incredible work; I'm looking forward to building with it!

Regarding hosting an Ember app, can you use something like s3 with cloudfront or will it not refresh fast enough to be usable?

zbush | 13 years ago | on: Send payouts with Stripe

Now that payment processors like Stripe and Balanced are providing very similar services, what serves to differentiate them? As each of these companies release features, they become closer and closer to converging to the exact same product. I'm seeing the same fees, the same abilities to payout, the same ability to act as a marketplace, with only a few very minor differences. Why should someone pick Stripe over Balanced, or vice versa?
