Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Its like that in vietnam too, 6 hours is 8 or 9 in good conditions and riding double the speed limit.
Last month, google maps tried to send me down a road that is under water for 3 months of the year, after several miles of construction.
I switched to waze after google kept routing me off the highway and through dirt trails between farms or dense, winding neighborhood allys to avoid interchanges. At one point google hated a highway so much I had to put traffic stop every 20 miles or do or it would tell me to turn around and make a 1 hour detour instead of following a straight, empty highway.
God forbid you turn off navigation and just look at the map
Good luck finding a recently updated map LOL
Also, I often drive alone, and when I have a passenger she's literally blind and isn't helpful for map reading.
I've been a Waze user for 15 years and it's fucking great.
probably worth knowing that Waze is a bit sus, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/waze-israel-terms-of-service/
It has also been owned by Google for years, so I don't know if its navigation really differs that much.
I'm in no way suggesting you need to use one, but... Are you under the impression that paper maps became difficult to source?
