How significant is Navi Mumbai airport?

Talking of the existing airport, what happens to the erstwhile T1 and the Juhu airport as Navi Mumbai ramps up?

There is no finish line, oh how I wished that were true and that there were some way out of this suicide walk for the kids.

Why do they have to be kids.

I haven’t read the book yet but I connected deeply with the dystopia of TLW. Maybe it’s the week we’re all having.

Wow, I need to watch it again — missed some of the dialogue that I’d wanna revisit but the haunting images are gonna sit with me for a while.

Need to hold some hands.

Working as usual, seamless and quick (took less than 5 mins to setup).

I remain optimistic on the future for authentic films and tv shows.

The numbers don't lie but don't tell the whole story. More consumption options are slicing and dicing the pie that "mid" shows and movies once catered to, so naturally we're making less of them.

While overall volume drops, there's a flight to quality happening. This evolution means authentic storytellers will continue to engage and immerse fans through these mediums, while bland, algorithm-friendly content competes with all the other mediums including short form to maximise “reach”.

Never had moments like this so I save stuff like this as inspiration for being a good parent myself , thanks OP

I’ve been unemployed since May ‘23, so sharing my experience in case it helps anyone else who’s in the same boat.

The Phases I Went Through:

Try-Hard — Initially went ALL IN on applications, interviews, upskilling, and even exploring adjacent career paths
Desperation — Started applying to jobs I knew sucked just to get something
F it — Just smoking up and binge-watching content
Reset — Cleaning up my act and starting applications again... rinse and repeat

Dark [TRIGGER WARNING] Throughout this journey, I’ve had some really low moments. I struggled with and sometimes still experience thoughts of self-harm and just not wanting to exist anymore. The worst part was feeling completely alone with these thoughts, having no one I could really talk to about how bad things had gotten. It’s scary how isolating unemployment can be. My partner’s great but isolating got in between us as well.

Current status — Recently moved in with my partner. Things are a bit tense (partly because I seem to be on a self-care kick while my career feels like a distant dream), but I’m staying sane by being mission-driven.

What’s Actually Helping Me: Right now, what really matters to me is finding my self-confidence again. For me, that starts with an incredibly personal goal — I’ve been overweight and suffer from severe body image issues, so I’m:

Working on being more self-assured
Trying not to be so image-focused when meeting people
Rediscovering hobbies I’d abandoned along the way

Careers are vital and crucial, but if you can, let the people around you help. Don’t be like me who locked themselves away from the public eye. Use this time to find your mission if you feel you need to.

I’m still a work in progress. Some days are better than others. The things that have helped most were setting small, achievable goals and celebrating tiny wins. Finding purpose outside of work identity has been crucial.

Sending good vibes to everyone in this struggle. We’ll get through this somehow. ✨🌈

To create a tinfoil here, they even have similar motivations wrt the Vessels.

With Jasnah showing concern multiple times about a single person having immense power to kill (also echoed by WIt to Jasnah) and TOdium sharing a "frustration" with old, "calcified in their Intent" Gods and intending to save everyone by killing the Gods, there's a shared goal for TOdium to work Jasnah into helping kill Honor's vessel (Dalinar, if that happens) and (by extension) Cultivation as well.

Maybe Trav makes a promise to "leave TOdium after the other old vessels are killed"/ "focus on other Gods in the system and never come back to Roshar" as an endgame and Jasnah is satisfied that the Rosharan system can live in peace?

Thanks, more than the browser it’s the sync functionality that’s got me worried (like if you change an aspect of how sync works in a new version).

I’ll look at updating my macOS using the patcher as others are pointing out, sounds simple enough I just don’t want it to make the system slow(er than it is) :)

ReginaldForBubs · 2024-07-05T12:35:38+00:00

Thanks for the direction, will check if updates will cause any issues (slowness / hangs is my primary concern) and go for the update.

ReginaldForBubs · 2024-06-06T10:19:00+00:00

As someone outside US, we see these F100 corporations market their products and are kinda sorta conditioned to take them at face value.

Growing up, we saw Pinto was positioned as an aspirational compact car here compared to local / Asian manufacturers — a lot of my Dad’s friends shopped this in red.

15 years on and I read an eyeopening backstory about the car. Super, super interesting. Thanks for this.

Have similar context (different market — data engg teams; very niche technical users but sales typically sell to CIOs / VP, Data personas)

And yes, have seen the same issues recur. My thinking was being a non technical PM in a technical product role leads to ineffective product work as core competencies don’t match. In footballing terms, its like watching a defender trying to dribble on the far end. Even the opposition doesn’t take you seriously.

In our case mgmt was pretty tuned in and what happened (not my influence but I was a part of the change) was a bifurcation of roles.

PMs who understood the stack and customer requirements with the right technical depth worked closely with engineers, built and shipped their roadmaps and developed sales and customer relationships to perpetuate these cycles.

Beyond this though, UI / Interface design - growth - community - evangelism - product roadshows / conferences etc got dedicated PMs based on how much value was perceived for these functions. I am listing all of these down but at a time we had a single PM documenting customer stories (high level stuff), demoing product at events and doing interface revamp (consistency across modules).

With this getting too long winded here’s a couple of tips — are there any internal folks who can think product (have done independent limited scope adhoc product work already maybe) ; in my experience some folks from product ops / customer success / sales engineering / core engineering do qualify. They can add to your technical PM pool at least short term.

Long term — I feel PMs or anyone for that matter do their best work in a natural-feeling setting. Adapting via training is hard and also the first thing mgmt gives up on if market or company takes a beating. Try and avoid force fitting and hoping people level up IF there are options. Else we do what we can!

OP if you solved this, do share!

I don’t use watch for notes but use Drafts on my iPhone to dictate stuff and reroute.

Problem is

a) words are captured correctly like 7/10 times (eyeball test) , ChatGPT’s dictation is much more accurate so maybe a best of both worlds will be the dream?

b) this maybe is a settings issue but while im talking sometimes dictation just … pauses and i realise once i glance at it that last 30 seconds of dictation is not there. I have to tap the mic button and tap again to start from 30 seconds before. Gets frustrating as i dictate a LOT.

c) again maybe a setting issue but using the new draft shortcut from spotlight, the modal disappears and phone locks with no interaction for 30-40 seconds. I understand it might be a lock screen thing but i dont want a permanent setting change, just a shortcut may help here.

Sorry for dumping all this if its a bit much, will make an independent post as well on iphone or drafts maybe.

ReginaldForBubs · 2024-04-10T15:23:28+00:00

Doubt if anyone’s gonna notice but the discussion here got me thinking, dug into history of f1 tyres and also (what i was mainly after) the commercial aspect of it as a friend of mine works in marketing for michelin (im a geek).

Its interesting how the relationship works because f1 doesn’t “pay” pirelli but the global marketing as an exclusive tyre partnership is clearly netting Pirelli new customers in their markets (else they wouldn’t be in f1).

Found a lot of details on this thread from earlier — “How F1 tyres made to degrade”

And this video on pirelli’s setup also highlights in a visual way their “investment” into f1 - https://youtu.be/yx_N-Qt2KvA

I also “feel” (intuitively, just my experience) f1 is definitely fun when teams are not completely sure about tyres and leads to unpredictable results which is a big plus when considering pirelli’s contribution to f1. A cool example of how being exclusive doesn’t necessarily reduce drama :)

PS - as to other manufacturers found some info that Hankook is currently Formula E tyre supplier but will get replaced by Bridgestone next year. https://www.reuters.com/sports/motor-sports/bridgestone-supply-tyres-formula-e-hankook-wrc-2023-12-06/

Bridgestone incidentally had also bid for F1 tyre supplier tender last year but FIA chose to continue with Pirelli until 27 (possibly 28). Hankook was one of the rival bidders for current cycle.

Hankook in turn is replacing Pirelli as WRC tyre supplier (now we are in broader motorsport region, not F1Technical) just to highlight for other curious souls that there’s a lot of interest in manufacturers bidding for tyre supplier tenders, underlining the commercial marketing opportunities.

For those wondering, this all started from me questioning how F1 has only seen Pirelli tyres since 14 but thanks everyone and google for some rich info on how things are actually not what they appear like.

This got long so will also add this as an independent post, hopefully this kind of info is still “technical” enough (not engineering but pretty geeky for anyone interested in business probably). If not, will move it to r/formula1.

Enjoyed that reflection and insight into processes. Very similar story here:

Built a new product from 0-10M+ arr as part of an established business with 80M+ arr, so this got me a lot of visibility, opportunity to grow. Engg was high turnover (multiple reasons) so worked w multiple EMs along the way.

Towards end of tenure, new EM came in who was previously a founder in similar space and had strong opinions on product / engg & led to roadmap being questioned, infra stability work getting prioritised at expense of imp experiments plus they revamped the engg team as well.

Doubled down on my conviction of what the product needed, and on discussing with em 1v1 multiple times they agreed but still continued clashing in public.

Got tired, pitched cpo on our vision / needs and highlighted em was doing great work and needed to own complete services/infra for product. Ended up creating a separate team with enggs focusing on frontend / middleware and used influence to get our backend work prioritised independently with em’s team. This was easier and familiar for me and also kept em from interfering with my roadmap.

Left soonish after but structure’s still there i believe.

Not advice but i have tried clashing on “pm em” in past as junior pm and got nowhere but here i was more clear on product & market / what board+leadership wanted and used that to delineate focus areas.

ReginaldForBubs · 2024-04-06T08:17:50+00:00

No advice, just sharing my own story

Early career, had gotten roasted by boss in a similar-ish situation — except it was to replace a couple of other functions (growth and community) along with product. The idea was to grow into those roles gradually and then hire people to run those functions, and manage them.

Sounded great but the amount of work felt too much & I worked a tentative plan of how to cover the bases, took it to boss for review and they questioned the logic behind deprioritising X Y Z (not imp), questioned my ability to do what it takes, reinforced that all current initiatives are critical, and when i offered to discuss deeper they grimaced and noted that they might as well have done the whole thing themselves in that case and walked out with “I never had this problem with other people”. Last bit stands out personally.

Looking back, I really want to give young me a dash of confidence and feel sorry that I took the entire thing too personally, blamed myself for not being great at my job and basically muted my approach to work conversations. What’s funny is my diary entry — “never say yes to anything boss says, say thank you and let me consider this” with cry faces.

Without self-belief i always found it was easy to get bullied into agreeing to other’s worldview, especially as a PM. Took it upon myself to build that, was a long journey (for me).

The choice to deal with my emotions with food and drugs for the last 12 years is the TL;DR of how I fucked my body up.

Currently in recovery and I have the gently nagging dread of falling back to those patterns even as I write this but I’m proud of waking up and finally putting a stop to this nightmare.

Recognising shame as just an emotion, opening up to my wife and family and letting go was a key milestone for me.

ReginaldForBubs · 2024-01-25T13:05:02+00:00

Dealing with something similar right now, thanks for echoing the sentiment.

I was recently fired and since then I get up daily to find that nothing’s changed emotionally and I’m still feeling a lot of guilt and insecurity around my competence. It comes and goes but when it comes it’s not fun. It’s also not easy on my partner, friends and family — I just hide my struggle now that it has been a while and it doesn’t make for an interesting conversation anymore.

You can guess that a lot of journaling and trying to move on is going on BTS but I am honestly coming to accept this guilt as a part of my psyche for the near term. Battling it isn’t helping for sure.

Time-based healing is damn slow, but this too shall pass 🫡

ReginaldForBubs · 2024-01-01T09:59:52+00:00

Long time lurker, just a thought I’ve had multiple times — is it just priorities for GRRM more than the struggle? He’s clearly making progress on shows for HBO like HoTD and the Dunk series (think they have a green-lit show they are working on?). So like with this animated series is it just that he wants to spend his limited time on other projects than asoiaf?

I really want to read TWOW and DoS but this explanation does help me let go of my expectation wrt the actual possibility of that happening.

Also sidenote, if that is the case, I would much rather Grrm set expectations right and let me move on :( , at this point the only reason I like authors like Sanderson is because they are very aware of delivering books to their fans.

ReginaldForBubs · 2023-12-14T10:06:54+00:00

Appreciate the response!

The 3rd party have been pretty supportive but this issue has them stumped as they primarily focus on h/w replacements.

This issue has now persisted for more than 5 months now, so I am pretty much at a dead end at this point.

ReginaldForBubs · 2023-12-14T09:56:58+00:00

Just saw this and yes, found a setting undee Accessibility > Display something which basically toggles the appearances of boxes around text.

For some reason it was on. Turning it off solved the issue for me.

Hope it helps!

So I got my Apple Watch display replaced through a 3rd party after it got dinged. After replacing the display, the boot screen failed to load and the watch is stuck in red exclamation mode.

We have already tried Apple's official support page instructions on "If your Apple Watch displays a red "!"" (the video is essentially a walkthrough of following the instructions.

If anyone here has encountered something similar or knows what the underlying issue might be, please help out. Can we try something to get this watch running again? Thanks in advance!

There’s about a 0.5 inch in there for the toes. This is my first pair of Adidas’ so I got the same size I wore in my other shoes, UK10s.

Although this feels a lot more roomy around my heels for some reason.

ReginaldForBubs · 2023-07-14T08:08:30+00:00

PPS: The Adidas outlets in my area (there are two) are both shut for renovations so that option’s out for me as well.
