    also has anyone else been having problems with Google and Waze on iPhone lately?? it feels like nothing loads. genuinely feel conspiratorial. I can have like two or three bars of 5G and it's just slow as ****. I mean NEVER loads.

    @ArmitageX @waze I was the same way at first, but the hardware is actually solid. @GrapheneOS is working with Motorola to create a non-Google phone with the same hardware hardening they require, but that's still a ways out.

    @Brand0n @Tesla_AI Have they programmed it to slow down when cops have been seen on the side of the road? Basically, is Waze built in and is it automated?

    @ZachAbramowitz It's heavily context dependent. For some use cases, the downside is equivalent to getting lost from Waze. In others, it's more like a car crash.

    Why is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

    @NYSDOTHV Any update on when this will reopen? Also, are you going to fix the signs stating that it's closed? And maybe alert @waze that it's still closed? They routed me there the other day and wah wah, still closed. Thanks.

    If there is a huge traffic jam and WAZE shows me a different route that can save me time is Waze ignoring my issue and telling me to shut up or is it offering a temporary solution to my immediate problem?

    A mathematician invented the algorithm inside every GPS on earth while sitting in a café in Amsterdam with no pen and no paper, worked it out in his head in 20 minutes, and did not bother publishing it for three years. His name was Edsger Dijkstra. He was born in Rotterdam in 1930, the son of a chemist father and a mathematician mother. He studied mathematics and physics at the University of Leiden, earned his PhD in computing from the University of Amsterdam in 1959, and became the first professional programmer in the Netherlands at age 21. The café story is real, and the detail that makes it strange is this: he was not trying to solve a famous problem. He was trying to find a demo impressive enough for a public audience. In 1956, his lab at the Mathematical Centre in Amsterdam had just finished building a new computer called the ARMAC. They needed to show it off at an inauguration ceremony to an audience of non-technical people. Dijkstra needed a problem that regular people could understand, with an answer they could verify. He landed on one: given a map of Dutch cities connected by roads, what is the shortest route between two of them? He was shopping with his fiancée Ria in Amsterdam when the solution came to him. They stopped at a café. He sat down, no paper, no pencil, and spent 20 minutes working through it entirely in his head. When he stood up, he had the algorithm. He used it for the inauguration. It worked. He then filed it away and did not publish it for three years because, as he later explained, he was not sure it was worth a paper. He thought it was too simple. That algorithm now has a name. Dijkstra's algorithm. It finds the shortest path between any two points in a network. Every GPS navigation system on earth runs it when you ask for directions. Every internet router runs it to decide where to send your data packets. Every airline uses it for flight path optimization. Every logistics company uses it to route deliveries. Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, every mapping tool you have ever opened, all of them are running a version of what one Dutch mathematician worked out in his head over a cup of coffee in 1956. He did not stop there. In 1965 he invented the concept of the semaphore, the mechanism that lets multiple programs share a computer's resources without crashing into each other. Every operating system on earth uses semaphores. Every time your phone runs ten apps at once without any of them corrupting each other's memory, that is Dijkstra's idea holding things together underneath. In 1968 he published a two-page letter to a computing journal with the title "Go To Statement Considered Harmful." The letter argued that a common programming instruction called goto, which let a program jump to any arbitrary point in its own code, was making programs impossible to understand and debug. He called for removing it from all serious programming languages entirely. The letter caused an immediate uproar. Programmers who had built careers on goto were furious. Dijkstra received angry letters for years. The programming community eventually concluded he was completely right. The structured programming approach he was advocating, where code flows through clear, predictable logic rather than jumping unpredictably around, became the foundation of how every modern programming language is designed. Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, every language you can name was built around the principle Dijkstra defended in two pages in 1968. He won the Turing Award in 1972. Now the part almost nobody knows. Dijkstra refused to own a television. He refused to own a video player. He never owned a mobile phone. He never sent an email. His house in Nuenen in the Netherlands was small and plain. He played the piano and listened to Mozart. From the early 1970s until his death in 2002, he wrote every research paper, every technical note, every letter, and every lecture by hand with a fountain pen. He numbered them sequentially using his initials as a prefix: EWD. EWD1, EWD2, all the way to EWD1318, his last note, written four months before he died. When he finished each one, he made photocopies and mailed them to colleagues around the world. That was his publishing system. Fountain pen, paper, photocopier, post office. More than 1,300 of those handwritten documents have been scanned and are now archived at the University of Texas. Researchers still read them. New papers still cite them. His reasoning for refusing computers in his own work was precise, not eccentric. He believed that the friction of writing by hand forced him to think more carefully before committing anything to paper. The ease of editing on a computer, he thought, made it too tempting to produce volume instead of clarity. He wanted every sentence to be worth the effort of writing it. He died on August 6, 2002, in Nuenen. He was 72. The man who invented the algorithm your phone uses to give you directions never used a phone. The man who shaped how every programmer writes code wrote his own work exclusively by hand. The man whose ideas run silently inside every connected device on earth chose to live without almost all of them. He just wanted to think clearly. Everything else followed.

    I've been known to tag a bunch of police cars on Waze throughout my shift so people slow down and I don't have to work accidents.

    Just sent a detailed bug report to a director in Waze on a very odd map issue here in Florida. He was extremely excited to dive into this with me. People like this make all the difference in a big company.

    @AnxiousHolly I stopped doing it awhile back too. Only reason I do it now is if an app IS having an issue. Or Waze… it never wants to let go of GPS signal otherwise.

    @wholemars @DevinOlsenn It could be, if able to change the speed limit control on the screen. This could actually fix two major issues, current speed limits being wrong as the entire neuro-net could be updated in real time, like in Waze, and the system can properly adjust to user preferences as it would know what said preferences are

    Shouldn’t Tesla fix its navigation issues instead of terrafab first? I know many like my fam that paused FSD subscription due to continuous navigation intervention. I man even Mapquest is more accurate. Hear me out: solution? Terra Giga Map Fab. A 335 football field long factory that will be the platinum (not gold) standard of all mapping. Compute won’t be a problem for this either because the terrafab 1 will then be joined by terrafab 2 which will be 10x larger for colossal compute power. I know I know you are asking “but why not just license and integrate Fkn Waze?” Well, for that we have to wait for Elons master plan 18 due in 2029

    🚨 99% of local SEO advice is noise, and most people focus on the wrong things. Agencies sell you on content calendars, blog posts, backlink packages, and social media management. None of it moves the needle for a local business. Here's what actually does: 1. Google Business Profile This is where local search is won or lost. When someone searches "plumber near me" or "dentist near me," they are not going to your website first. They are looking at the Maps pack — and the Maps pack is powered entirely by your GBP. The businesses that rank there have: → Every service listed as a category → Professional photos (updated regularly) → 100+ reviews with a 4.7 or higher rating → Posts going up weekly → NAP (name, address, phone number) data that matches everywhere on the web Most local businesses have a half-filled profile from 2019 and wonder why they can't rank. 2. Website structure Not blogs. Not word count. Structure. Google needs to understand what you do, where you do it, and who you serve. That means: → A dedicated page for each service (not one "Services" page that lists everything) → City and neighborhood signals embedded in the right places → Fast load times and mobile-first design → Schema markup so search engines can read your data correctly Your website is not a brochure. It's a signal to Google that your business is exactly what someone in your area is searching for. 3. Citations Citations are every place your business name, address, and phone number appear online — Google, Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, Alexa, Waze, Yelp, Facebook, and 40+ other directories. When those listings are consistent and accurate, Google trusts you more. When they're inconsistent or missing, your rankings suffer — and customers can't find you on voice assistants, GPS, or AI search. Most local businesses have never touched their citations. Half of them have wrong information sitting on directories they don't even know exist. That's the entire playbook. GBP → you show up. Website structure → Google understands you. Citations → Google trusts you. Everything else local agencies sell you is secondary to getting these three right. Fix the fundamentals. The rankings follow. Don't overcomplicate it.
