There's a broader outage somewhere, and I've had degraded service on Google Meet today. Thought it was my speed, but speedtest.net is down too! https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/speedtest.net

Ahh I didn't catch that last bit. Individually disabling "system services" in location services doesn't disable ALL system services. Yeah that's confusing/should be changed.

Not sure I see much of a story here. Turning off location services globally works as expected, but turning off location services app-by-app lets the system itself still utilize location services (for unknown system things): “We do not see

This already happens pretty well with Apple Maps. (I think Google Maps does something similar too.) You just have to check the map for your parked car’s location.

If you want to contribute/bring value, learn as much as you can about the company. Why are things structured the way they are? What needs to happen for the company to be successful? What things are that way “for a good reason”, and wha

You're correct that Amazon should be smarter about some recommendations. I'd say give them the benefit of the doubt in that they may have found an algorithm that works most of the time (or at least when it comes to their bottom li

Amazon also doesn't know if this is a single use or consumable item. Some things have significant marginal utility beyond 1, and others can be consumed and need to be reordered. (Charging cables, Amazon echo for multiple rooms, paper g

From the description of events, it seems more likely that the thermal runaway already started. The CPU detected the critical heat and shut off, as it is designed to do to protect THE CPU from damage. The problem is that it wasn't the C

Perhaps it would be boring if all cars are running the same basic strategy. If competing teams get to tune their strategies and counter-strategies I can see this being quite popular. After all, there might be bigger crashes.

My guess is that the "communication" is fairly basic (e.g. position, speed, acceleration - nothing a human driver couldn't observe), rather than information about strategies (e.g. "I am going to attempt to overtake on th

Can we get the title changed? The current title does not provide me with enough information to know what the article is about. How about, "Doctor diagnosed with rare Castleman disease leads charge for cure"?

That's the interesting part. Individually, people declare their aversion/immunity to advertising. As a whole, marketers measure the lift and attribute revenue to efforts across a segment with high statistical confidence. Either th

For you I'd suggest checking out what Pebble has been doing. Battery life is about 7-10 days on some models, and has an 'always on' display.
