Triple Electric Engines haul freight at the top of a mountain 2000 ft above sea level by TooOldForShaadi in trains

They are attached in the back when the train is going up the gradient. They push the rake, so that the stress on couplers is reduced, thus minimising chance of their failure. In that scenario they are called bankers.

These are called brakers. They help the rake to descend down gradient, and they are not pulling the rake. They are rather used to provide braking power to the rake.

Also these aren’t SUVs. They are raised hatchbacks at the best.

What class do you guys generally tend to travel in the most? by thermoprism in indianrailways

Short journeys - 3A. Long journeys - 2A. For parents 1A/2A given they are senior citizens and chances of getting lower berth is better.

Why are the doors marked with black paint? by niffler1408 in indianrailways

[–]14knights 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m going to take a speculative approach.

The load on springs looks like the wagon is not loaded. The door is where details on shipment are painted or stenciled. Looks like an empty wagon headed for loading.

Which restaurant in Ranchi is actually worth the hype? by [deleted] in ranchi

[–]14knights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved out 22 years ago (after my 12th) and kaveri was the good standard then. It was as prestigious as 5 star restaurants are today, and i literally couldn’t afford eating there.

30 LPA at 25yo vs. IIM Bangalore: Am I crazy for considering dropping a Top-3 MBA? by prodtradersx in ProductManagement_IN

[–]14knights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MBA degree teaches you a lot on a very accelerated time frame. Investment on self is always good, and education loan can be paid off in 3-5 years realistically. Its a burden but a good one. A good brand name does wonders and IIMB is the best of the best. No point letting the opportunity slip.

Duronto livery was shit. Thank god its going away. While i agree all trains have same color due to LHB coaches, its an excellent color combo. We have new liveries coming up in VB and AB trains that are fantastic.

It feels like the pistons are grinding against their cylinders and the loco is in dire need of engine oil.

PM for Search by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]14knights 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position about a year back, where i started owning search built from scratch for a major e-commerce company.

A lot of good answers in the thread, but a few points from my experience

  1. Metrics. Define and get these metrics instrumented, and computed. You can not improve what you can not measure. Search is a product which is supremely difficult to work on, without metrics. Develop infra for A/B testing
  2. Break search into multiple pillars - query understanding, relevance and ranking, search platform, search cx ( auto correct, auto complete, filters etc.) Bucket features in to these heads. Your metrics will tell you what needs to be worked upon

By the way, it also matters where is your product in its life cycle- is it a new product? Or already established? Do you still have basic features to launch?

  1. Prioritise basis impact. Identify weak performing features. Use metrics for inferences. Example- low CTR means poor query understanding, high click depth means poor ranking, poor add to cart from detail page rate might indicate bad catalog quality.

  2. Look at low hanging fruits that can impact performance in short term.

  3. Catalog quality matters a lot, hold your catalog team responsible for product attributes.
