  Thanks to the nationwide T-Mobile outage that just happened, I am now forced to deliver my first child on the side of a highway in Rhode Island. Our Waze app disconnected halfway through the ride to the nearest hospital. Please pray for my wife and I on a safe delivery.

  🚨 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.

  1. Waze the speed trap app that saves you $200+ in tickets per year. The 2026 CarPlay interface for Waze is cleaner than ever, offering crowd-sourced data on speed traps, potholes, and traffic jams without cluttering your digital real estate. Waze is the one CarPlay app every driver should install regardless of whether they use it for navigation. Waze is the go-to CarPlay app for drivers who regularly deal with heavy traffic. Its community-sourced reporting system alerts you to accidents, road hazards, speed traps, and police presence in real time, often before other apps catch up. Real-time alerts from other Waze drivers: police ahead. Speed trap. Red light camera. Construction. Hazard on the road. Car stopped on the shoulder. Object in the road. You're driving 72 in a 65. A Waze alert pops up: "Police reported ahead." You slow to 65. You pass the speed trap. No ticket. The driver behind you without Waze gets pulled over. One avoided speeding ticket: $150-300. One avoided red light camera ticket: $75-150. Waze is free. The math is obvious. Beyond speed traps: Waze frequently finds faster routes than Apple Maps during heavy traffic because its routing algorithm uses real-time data from millions of active drivers, not just historical traffic patterns. If a highway exit is suddenly backed up because of a fender bender reported 3 minutes ago Waze reroutes you before Apple Maps knows it happened.

  How my car crash happened At around 5:10 I was driving in Jackson on East Veterans Highway and I missed a left turn into Bowman Road, instead of doing the right thing I decided to make a “k turn” (the road wasn’t wide enough for a “u turn” since it was just 2 lanes, 1 each side) So I looked both ways, there wasn’t a car in the incoming lane for a while so I was safe there, there was a pickup truck behind me by quite a distance and against my better judgment I decided to make that “k turn” Anyways as I’m in middle of doing it and I’m in the OTHER lane I suddenly realize that the pick up drunk that was behind me is now trying to cut me off and was speeding at a much higher speed on the OTHER lane Before I knew what was going on he (I assume it was a man) went straight into me and I rolled over at least once and was then held upside down by my seatbelt Anyways I then hear a voice (I think from Waze) “were you in an accident?”, I said “yes”, “would you like to call emergency services?” And apparently they dialed 911 from my phone

  @Asor1113 @DoctorTurtleboy @ALL_WEDO_ISWORK Ok, so now it happened outside before Karen even got back to Meadows? What a fascinating goal post shift. The problem with that is the dog would've had to attack and incapacitate him within about 20 seconds. Here's why: The high accuracy Waze data shows the SUV coming to its first and only complete stop in front of the house by the flagpole at 12:24:38 a.m. John's phone then recorded no movement for about 7 minutes as he sat in the car with Karen. At 12:31:56 a.m., a brief 20-second step event began as he exited the car. And at 12:32:16 a.m., his phone stopped moving until 6:04 when the 3 women found him and called 911.

  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.

  @naomirwolf @Uber Occasionally I have opened up the Waze App and had the volume on low so that the driver knows I'm comparing their route with the route from Waze. I stopped using Uber after the driver started pulling away from the curb before I was fully into the backseat-- and the door was still open. He only stopped when I yelled loudly. I use Lyft instead. All good, no problems.
