  @msiziworld Waze is a community app.. it constantly needs people/users to update on any issues on a particular route… if no one does anything.. it’s simply useless!

  @teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.

  @mrfundman They should use Waze. If there's something wrong with the map, just click report and a volunteer editor that lives in that area will fix it within a few days. That includes speed limit data which Teslas have issues with.

  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

  @AnthonyCumia Spot on for the 2nd half. Here’s the problem with the 1st part, “speeding violations” mean cameras where they keep lowering the speed limit after people’s waze app lets them know when there’s a camera and they stop ripping people off

  @LeviKriel @T_Tremaine10 @JacintaNgobese Waze wa dramatic nawe, who said anything about spilling blood? When has demanding what's rightfully ours become a problem? illegal can never be legal, how many more kids have to die, who's child has to be trafficked for you to wake up?

  @emollick And I'm convinced that Waze does the opposite... Always prefer the slow route through a residential neighbourhood so the users feels like they're taking a "shortcut".

  @Proctor4Gov @Maggie725496820 Slowed down in speed for 0.6 seconds but didn’t record any collisions? If she hit John on the road moving in the opposite direction of the flagpole…how ******** did he end up over by the flagpole? If Higgins jeep was parked at the mailbox how come she didn’t crash right into it? You see how other details matter when you’re trying to claim this ridiculous collision? If the TL collided with his arm how’s he get the cut on the eyelid and nose and such bruised knuckles but zero bruising on the arm where he was supposedly hit? The marks on the arm (32) caused by only 9 little holes…no tearing, no leftover pieces in the sleeve…again, **** your janky Waze correlation and address the injuries.

  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.

  Can I vent ??? As a person from the townships who moved to the suburbs.. I'm struggling with Police visibility.. my brain associates cops with trouble.. I'd only see cops when they are WORKING.. here they just around, nje.. Just parked nje. Waze shows 9 cops.. nje just present

  @ardeiusmaleus @catgirlprostate np! if you want to see how they mapped it you can go to the Waze Map Editor, login, and if you go near a part of the map not part of your current environment it will prompt you to switch. eventually I think they will merge everything but idk

  @LeinadFre @FPSCANADA_SS_ZZ @koshercockney Just a taste of Israeli technology inventions: Computing and Software: Israel invented the first commercial firewall, ICQ (the first instant messenger), and the Intel 8088 processor that powered the first IBM PCs. Medicine: The PillCam is a pill with a tiny camera you swallow to check for gut issues. Other tools include the ReWalk robotic suit that helps people with leg paralysis walk again. Agriculture: Israel is the home of modern drip irrigation (like Netafim). This system sends water drop-by-drop straight to plant roots to save water in dry climates. Cars and Road Safety: Waze uses data from drivers to map the best routes. Mobileye makes computer vision chips for cars to warn drivers about road hazards. What have you done? Antisemitism, although you certainly didn’t invent that. 🙄

  @constans Israel has prominent Jews working for it, an office in Tel Aviv, has acquired Israeli startups (Waze, Wiz), etc. If these ghouls go looking they can always find a reason to protest any large company over the Omnicause. See also Starbucks, Coca-Cola, ...
