I’m building a G+3 house in Hyderabad and trying to finalize the floor plan right now. I asked my architect about planning for a future home elevator, but the answer was basically “leave some space near the staircase” without much detail.
I’m trying to avoid under-planning and realizing later that the shaft is too small or needs structural changes. For those who’ve installed or worked with residential lifts, what’s a realistic shaft footprint for a standard 3–4 person home elevator?
Would also be helpful to know if there are any common mistakes people make while planning for one during construction.

Hidden costs, maintenance, inverter replacements, roof issues, cleaning, lower-than-expected generation, dealing with installers - anything.
I keep seeing the benefits discussed everywhere, but I’m more curious about the unexpected downsides or things you only learn after living with a solar setup.

We're a team of 4 working on a travel startup and have built a decent product in the past 6 months with our full-time jobs.
We've conducted several user interviews. We would need to scale this up and work on marketing and reaching out to places within the city in person due to nature of app.
Though it's becoming almost impossible to manage it with the job.
We don't have a lot of active users as of now and no income stream right now.
Any suggestions if and when we should pursue this full time.
Let me know if any other details would help.

Joined with expectations of experimentation, fine-tuning working ok actual data science use cases, etc.
But a lot of the work seems to become:
Pulling data through SQL
Fixing data quality issues
Stakeholder asks changing every 2 days
Building decks/explaining metrics
Dashboard requests
“Urgent” ad hoc analysis

Not complaining because these things are important too, but sometimes I wonder where the line between Data Analyst and Data Scientist is in practice.
People working as DS in startups/product companies/service companies how much of your work is actually modelling/ML?

Context : I have been working in a consulting firm since the last 2.5 yrs as a data scientist and have hardly gotten a chance to work on a decent data science project. It's just frustrating that I don't get to learn anything new and it just seems like I'm in college when trying to upskill myself through tutorial without getting any real-world exposure despite being a data scientist myself.

Any suggestions on what I should target next would be helpful.

I want to learn surfing.
I can plan 15 days. Which is the best place to learn and practice in India.
Also any recommendations is surfing schools.

Any help is appreciated.

Mine: building features people said they wanted instead of features people would actually pay for.
A lot of users will happily give feedback. Much fewer will open their wallet.
Interested in hearing everyone’s “paid tuition fee” in SaaS.

Hey ! I wanted to learning Surfing and this is the only time of the year where I can manage to take leaves or work from home. I wanted to learn surfing in India for around 15 days professionally. Is Mulki a good idea or is it even possible in this season ?

I’ve been in Bangalore long enough to notice a pattern with my weekends. I start Saturday thinking I’ll relax and maybe get out for a bit, but somehow between traffic, long travel times, crowded places, waiting for tables, and random plans, the weekend disappears.
By Sunday evening it feels like I need another day off before Monday starts.
People who have been here for a while: did you eventually figure out a better way to spend weekends in the city? Curious what your routine looks like.

Not necessarily tourist places.
Could be a street, a food spot, a railway station area, Marine Drive, some random chai place, anywhere.
I always find it interesting that people who’ve lived in Mumbai for years still have “their spot” that they keep going back to.

I used to play badminton quite regularly for the past two years and recently, I got diagnosed with Morton’s neuroma due to which I’m finding difficulty and even walking now since the past few months, I just haven’t been able to work out and now my body feels stiff and unhealthy. I really want to get back to sports but not sure how this is going to affect my foot in the long-term. I feel slightly better but I know it hasn’t healed completely yet people who had some foot injury how long did it take you to get back to working out or playing a sport and would it be advisable for me to get back after given? I’m feeling slightly better if not, fully recovered.
Context : it’s been four months since this happened and I’m just annoyed being bedridden for so long.

I’ve noticed some elevators stop perfectly aligned with the floor, while others end up slightly above or below and then adjust themselves. Is that just maintenance issues, wear over time, or do different systems handle leveling differently? Curious how this works from the technical side.

Every warehouse seems to have that one thing everyone complains about - inventory counts, picking errors, receiving delays, equipment availability, shift communication, etc. Curious what creates the biggest headaches where you work.

Started by creating a few simple scripts and workflow automations to save myself time on reporting. Now every few weeks someone asks if I can automate another process. Curious if this happened to others too. At what point did it become a full part of your job instead of just a side thing?
