American Multinational Investment bank Morgan Stanley has been fined £ 5.4 million ($6.9m) after energy traders within the bank were found to have conducted business discussions via Whatsapp on their personal phones, a breach of rules mandating the recording of messages linked to energy trading activities. The fine marks a significant milestone, as it’s the first instance of a financial firm being penalised under the transparency rules. These rules have been put in place to safeguard consumers from potential market manipulation and insider trading, thus ensuring the integrity of energy trading practices. The fine was initially set at £ 7.7 million, but Morgan Stanley chose to settle the case, resulting in a 30% reduction in the final amount to be paid. The settlement highlights the bank’s willingness to address issues and collaborate with regulators to resolve the matter. Despite the institution establishing policies prohibiting employees from using platforms like WhatsApp... Read more

Hello Hackers! I would like to share this notebook with you, which I wrote in order to explain how recommendation algorithms work, in an easy to understand way for beginners. I will go deeper into building a product recommendation system that we can better target customers with, using product recommendations that are tailored to individual customers. Studies have shown that customized product recommendations improve conversion rates and customer retention rates. A product recommendation system is a system whose objective is to predict and compile a list of items that a customer is likely to buy. Referral systems have gained much popularity in recent years and have been developed and implemented for various commercial use cases For example, The media service provider, Netflix, uses referral systems to recommend movies or television programs for individual users who are likely to watch The e-commerce company Amazon uses recommendation systems to predict and display...

Let's say I'm into getting 11M IOPS [1] and am ready to get my beast of a server online. Where do I put this? Do I just search for colocations in my area with 100Gbps+ connections? I always love these DIY server articles and I'm curious about people really running this way. In reality, I'm sure you'd build this into a U[x] chassis with redundant power supplies and maybe NICs. From there I guess you build a second one for real redundancy and then you build a small box purely for load balancing in front of those aaaand down the rabbit hole we go. But, as a start, I'm wondering where you physically place this?

Hi HN, Pranay and Ankit here. We’re founders of SigNoz ( https://signoz.io ), an open source observability platform. We are building an open-core alternative to DataDog for companies that are security and privacy conscious, and are concerned about huge bills they need to pay to SaaS observability vendors. Observability means being able to monitor your application components - from mobile and web front-ends to infrastructure, and being able to ask questions about their states. Things like latency, error rates, RPS, etc. Better observability helps developers find the cause of issues in their deployed software and solve them quickly. Ankit was leading an engineering team, where we became aware of the importance of observability in a microservices system where each service depended on the health of multiple other services. And we saw that this problem was getting more and more important, esp. in today’s world of distributed systems. The journey of... Read more

Hi HN! I’m Ned and along with my co-founder PJ (pjmurraynz) we’re building Great Question (https://greatquestion.co) to make it easy to do customer research as part of every sprint or product release. The maxim of Y Combinator is “talk to customers, build something people want” yet relatively few software teams regularly engage in customer research. This was definitely the case for us in our last startup, and even when we sold that business to a place with a well resourced research team we were largely on our own. Without any real tools or processes to do customer research we ended up muddling through, but it was always ad hoc - and often skipped so we could just get a release out the door. Bad news. By talking to lots of customers (meta!) we learned that one of the biggest challenges teams face is in the logistics of research: finding customers... Read more
