can't believe they don't use https for their logins.


I'm assuming you're getting downvoted for your lack of capitalisation and sentence subject, rather than the sentiment.

I was going to sign up for this, but now I won't knowing that their login page has not a whiff of security about it.


Oh my, I have no idea I got downvoted. How can you tell?


Sorry, only just seeing this.

On HN, downvoted comments "fade out" of view. The font gets lighter to start to match the background.


Does Mondo allow the user to keep track how their money is being invested? With current technology that shouldn't be an issue.


[I work at Mondo] Yes please! We're currently working out what form that will take exactly.

Why do you ask this? I'm keen to hear what you'd like to see from us :)

During our current alpha test we don't invest your money at all. It's just kept in cash with our partner bank Wirecard.


Hmm, what's the difference between this and Simple? Other than that it is available in UK?


With Simple, the banking services are provided by a third party bank, so Simple provides a usability layer on top of an existing bank's services.

With Mondo, they are looking to actually become a bank.

So on a usability level, you may not actually see much difference, but on another, it would seem like Mondo are fundamentally different as they will have a level of flexibility to decide which banking services to provide to customers. Although that's not so say that Simple couldn't use third party services, they may not have the same level of independence which Mondo wants/will have.


Nice. Does anyone know if there is something equivalent to this much like the SSRN (Social Science Research Network) http://www.ssrn.com/en/index.cfm/mjensen-20th/

Where you can perform full text search on all the papers?


Why does it have to make money? If service such as twitter that can benefit the world in some way without making any money, why force it into a 'business model'?


You would have a point if Twitter was a non profit, but it's a publically traded company and, thus, has a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders to make money.


...because it costs money to run it? And it costs money to hire good talent to maintain it?


Yes, but I would imagine that cost is not too much. Why not make it into something like a public resource. Often that approach will generate more wealth for the greater community.

Often the for-profit model and fiduciary responsibility can be constraining in wealth creation in general.


Because in order to be brought into existence, young Twitter needed money, and the people who gave them that money did so in return for the right to vote on the future of the company, and the holders of those rights today vote for profit.

If you'd like to see a different kind of company, you should offer to invest in startups under more altruistic terms.


@wolframhempel or whoever is making this. Thanks for the making it. However, your webrtc demo doesn't work: both of the links are broken on github: https://deepstream.io/tutorials/webrtc.html

Can we see some live working demo.

Also the example on that page is also not working because adaptor.js is not found, but it says that your browser is not webrtc compatible.


Cheers, will look into this


That is exactly the problem. Growth is extremely un-evenly distributed.


Main complain to Google or other big company. Stop putting email in spam that doesn't have reverse DNS set. Why should one IP be tight to one email domain?


>Another thing I do which may shock many JS people is to actually check in the build directory of my setup into version control, because this makes deployment much easier and ensures that I will always have a working version of the code in the repository, even if some external dependencies should change in the future. This also eliminates installing extensive tooling on my production servers, which itself is a large burden and creates many security issues (for a simple setup consisting of rabel, react, require.js and a few support libraries, node.js downloads about 350 MB of source files onto the machine).

Kudos. I can't remember how many 'open/source/Free' git repo that I cloned can't compile or have problems compiling. Personally I think it is NOT open source unless the user can compile and get an exact copy of the software that is in the app store.


You can fall in love with anyone through anything! It is all in your head. ;-)
