Waze is quite a different experience than Google Maps when driving, so it’s made sense to keep them as two separate apps.
Google Maps is “I want to get from point A to point B in a normal way.”
Waze is “I want the most aggressively quick way; no back street is too small for me.”
I feel like OP has gone too far with the editorialised headline this time, as the only thing that’s happening at this point is switching Waze over to use the standard Google ad platform rather than their custom system.
Same here. Aside from one of the injections (brief stinging/pinching pain in the roof of my mouth), the entire process was painless and I didn’t even need painkillers afterwards.
That said, I can see how there’s a lot of room for different experiences between countries, different orthodontists/dentists, and even between individual patients depending on which tooth and how bad the decay was.
My fiancée has passed her citizenship test and is now just waiting for the invite for the formal ceremony. And in the same week, her sister has received final exam results and is all good to graduate later this year. And we’ve got Paramore tickets for when they’re coming to Sydney in late November.
So it’s been a good week.
Today I’m back to work, and I guess tonight is the one night of normal before the weekend chaos starts tomorrow night.
With APAC concerts only happening in Japan, Singapore, and Australia, basically half the region wants to come to Australia for this. I even found an article from India about how to buy the tickets for Australian shows (since Taylor apparently never goes to India).
Hopefully this makes it a little easier for her fans to get tickets tomorrow.
I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.
Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.
Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.
Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.
Root blame is probably Telstra doing some corrupt dealings with the Liberals so they could sell their copper network to nbn co.
nbn co never would have needed to buy the copper network if they were simply replacing it entirely.
I worked in the service activations and assurance side of nbn co right when FTTN was starting to roll out. Install issues suddenly stopped being “delayed because no one was home” or “lead-in conduit needs replacing” and suddenly had about a dozen different reasons.
For the entire time I worked there, fault volumes for the FTTN network were consistently 10x worse than FTTP. For example, there might be 0.02 faults per 100 active FTTP premises, and 0.2 faults per 100 active FTTN premises.
Edit: though with some more thought on the original point, I think it was majority just the Liberals wanting to do something different in classic oppositional politics.
Tumblr CEO David Karp reported to Yahoo’s Simon Khalaf, founder of the analytics platform Flurry (also acquired by Yahoo). In an anecdote from an unnamed former employee, Khalaf walked into one team meeting about Tumblr saying the popular blogging platform was “going to be the new PDF.”
“It didn’t make any sense,” the employee recounted. “We’d walk away scratching our heads.”
I’m with them on this. That makes zero sense.
