    @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.

    @waze @Lean78 Hi Dani, Sorry that the link you shared has no content to continue/explain/report the issue. Just a couple of known issues with any 'next' or 'continue' button! It is a waste of time. It looks like you need clearer internal procedures to handle this.

    ๐Ÿšจ 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 โ€” and the Maps pack is powered entirely by your GBP. The businesses that rank there have: โ†’ Every service listed as a category โ†’ Professional photos (updated regularly) โ†’ 100+ reviews with a 4.7 or higher rating โ†’ Posts going up weekly โ†’ 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: โ†’ A dedicated page for each service (not one "Services" page that lists everything) โ†’ City and neighborhood signals embedded in the right places โ†’ Fast load times and mobile-first design โ†’ 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ†’ you show up. Website structure โ†’ Google understands you. Citations โ†’ 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.

    i complained about this in a reddit convo i was having and someone tried to argue that drivers use waze to avoid traffic? even after i'd given multiple examples of drivers not understanding me saying "just turn on broadway instead" it's such a problem i hate it

  • Covert61
    Definitely Not Allen Covert (@Covert61) reported

    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?

  • UpgradeAmerican
    AmericanPowerUpgrade (@UpgradeAmerican) reported

    @SDembraski Would love if it pulled into MY driveway, not my neighbor's. Parking is a real issue โ€” we need handicap placard support for spot selection. Navigation also needs work: FSD constantly takes scenic routes out of parking lots and even my cul-de-sac (starts a right turn, then yanks left to loop around the block). Surprisingly, Google Maps and Waze have the same problem.

    @jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?

    The @waze app has become a PAIN in my *** over these past few months. At first I thought it may have been a CarPlay issue or due to my data, but itโ€™s not! It doesnโ€™t update in a timely fashion like it used to and I end up having to bust a u turn because Iโ€™ve gone the wrong way

    @leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.

    @Suzybeau1 @WBergeson11310 @BostonDefender I'm saying you can't compare Life360 with Waze because Waze has better service, just like Verizon and AT&T have better service than U.S. Cellular and don't have the dropped-call problems and don't have the infrastructure the major networks have.

    They simply slow down when police are spotted or WAZE warns them, then they speed right back up.

AI models are accelerating weekly ... from LLMs to AI agents to full orchestras of them running directly on our phones and desktops. Chatbots everywhere. Humanoids on the horizon. The world feels like it's spinning faster than anyone can track. Drones are no longer science fiction; they're reshaping warfare in real time, from Ukraine to the Gulf, amplifying chaos as conflicts escalate with tools we barely understand yet feel powerless to slow. Societal distrust is deepening. People fear massive job losses, bleak prospects for new graduates, and mounting risks around privacy and safety. Many believe governments are hopelessly behind and regulators simply cannot move at the speed of the technology they're supposed to govern. On this, they're not wrong. But here's the truth: AI is already everywhere ... we spread it around, ourselves. Every tap and swipe has been training it for years. Auto-correct, Grammarly, Amazon purchases, tap-to-pay, social feeds, Waze, Netflix โ€” the list is longer than most of us care to admit. We've flooded social media with graduation photos, videos of family vacays, and parents' obituaries; freely, eagerly, in real time. We recycled passwords across hundreds of accounts and clicked "agree" without reading a word. Identity theft and privacy violations? We continue to feed this machine through digital non-hygiene akin to the plague. It's already a buffet for AI-enabled fraudsters that we've served up. Corporations built platforms we loved: convenient, free, endlessly scrolling, and we accepted the trade-off with eyes at least half open. The business model was never hidden. We just chose not to think too hard about it. We spread the J-AI-M ourselves, every tap and swipe, 7-24-365 for years. The workforce consequences are no longer hypothetical. Copywriters, paralegals, customer service agents, and new grads are feeling the ground shift. The economic upside of AI is real, but it's flowing overwhelmingly to shareholders, not displaced workers. We need retraining pipelines, and we needed them yesterday. The promise is equally real! AI is transforming healthcare, will accelerate clean energy, 10X our climate change fight, and take us to other planets. The j-AI-r is open; what's inside is not all bad. There is more real hope than ridiculous hype. Do we push for algorithmic transparency laws? Demand digital literacy in schools and workplaces, not just how to use AI, but how to think critically about it? Support liability frameworks that hold developers accountable for measurable harm? Insist that workforce transition funding be tied to the companies generating billions from automation? Yes, no, what else? We made this J-AI-M. We spread it everywhere. We must be honest enough about our own roles to navigate what comes next ... wisely. ๐Ÿค” Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

    Alan (@bitforth) reported

    @GergelyOrosz I am not surprised because I happen to have friends there. Google also uses them, Facebook names them differently but it's essentially the same thing. Especially in RL, the FANG documents, and so do most large tech companies. I would even challenge your claim that PRDs decide what should be built. In most companies, the core decision already exists before anyone opens the document either because a big customer problem has escalated, or an executive has set a priority, or sales demand a feature, a competitor has moved, or a small group has already agreed on the direction. A PRD RARELY creates that decision. They're mostly artifacts that large organizations require to make work visible to people who are not in the room where product decisions happen. You worked at Uber. You should know this better than most... the actual decision gets made in a meeting, a Slack thread, or a conversation between a few senior people. THEN the PRD is written just to formalize the decision, gather approvals, assign ownership, and create evidence of cross-functional collaboration. During calibration, that artifact becomes proof that someone โ€œdrove alignmentโ€ across six teams. The strongest case for a PRD is pretty much to stop people from building 6 different interpretations of the same idea, but then again... Google uses them aggressively and it is almost the perfect counterexample. It launched Allo and Duo while Hangouts already existed. It later killed Allo, split Hangouts into Chat and Meet, and eventually folded Duo into Meet. It ran Inbox beside Gmail for four years, then shut Inbox down and moved parts of it into Gmail. It acquired Waze in 2013, explicitly kept its product team separate, and still develops both Waze and Google Maps as overlapping navigation products more than a decade later. I am 100% SURE all of those teams had detailed PRDs. In fact, a polished PRD can make duplication worse. It gives every team a coherent narrative, supporting metrics, a roadmap, and a professional-looking artifact with which to defend its territory.

    @GretchenVoss64 Laposata looked at no evidence. Scordi Belo said it was both likely and unlikely that he was hit. Also couldnโ€™t say for certain as positioning not known. AARCa testing did not even use the weight and size of Officer Oโ€™Keefe and frankly a little bit shadyโ€ฆ all those deleted signal messages and โ€œ billing โ€œquestions. . They did state though that Karen backing into Johnโ€™s traverse did not cause that damage. You all love to parrot โ€œ he was not hit by a carโ€. He easily could have been side swiped and that is not impossible. Google accidents by side swipe. I believe in the timeline, tech stream data, Officer Oโ€™Keefe phone data, including Waze. Most importantly, per MS Read herselfโ€ฆ on video and in written words.. her tailight was broken at 5:08 am. Before CPD ever got the call and beofre MSSP got the call. Voss got it right.
