It was actually "defending again I here" which equates to "reguarding" but never mind you got it anyway

Movie Quote Of The Day
Count Armand, with his fancy wine and his frufru accent. Nobody leaves my tequila worm dangling in the wind...
Which movie?

Sounds like Zorro: The Gay Blade (1981) - IMDb[^] with Gay Hamilton - sorry, GEORGE Hamilton - as a Zorro dressed in pink. Definitely one of the worst movies I will ever admit to having seen (and that only very reluctantly)!

George Orwell Moment of the Day:
So, the alarm rang on my smartphone this morning. Nothing much to say about that, I had set it to do so. But when I switched it off, I immediately got a message from Google Maps that I had never seen before. Something like: "Traffic is light today. It will take you 1 hour and 5 minutes to get to work". It even showed me the route to my work. 
I normally don't take my car to work. Actually, I have only done so once. So HOW THE ELEPHANT does my phone know where I work??? 
Sure, I have the company name on my Facebook profile and LinkedIn. But in both cases, it shows the address to the headquaters (which is in an entirely different city FAR from here) - and the address to "my" workplace is not mentioned anywhere.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone!

At least it still thinks your work place is your work place. I heard of someone where the algorithm thought that his work place was his home due to the amount of time spent there.

That would be Griff and Nagy...
Do you think that's it? Geo-positioning? It knows where I am most of the day? Didn't think of that, but that might explain it... Still scary, though!
As for the "work" thing, that's also relative. This is merely where I spend my time...

In some ways it is useful as it lets me knows what traffic is like , in other ways it sucks because Google know everything about my life.
This is how I think Google figures out your workplace:
(1)You move from location A to location B regularly.
(2)You move from location A to location B in the morning and return to location A in the afternoon.
(3)You spend a good few hours of the day at location B.
(4)You spend the night at location A.
I do wonder if a person who is a night-shift worker would have their workplace marked as home and vice-versa?
[edit - corrected (3) to location B]

You might be right, but that must be an ENORMOUS amount of data they have to analyze - and quite fast too to get it as close to real time as possible! I get scared just thinking about developing a system that could predict such things...
But then again: All actual work scares me, so if I had to do it as a hobby, it would probably be better...

They really don't, you know! The conversation between your little machine and Google's big machines may be going nineteen to the dozen all day but nobody in the real world is listening. You really aren't that important. Your insignificance knows no bounds! Deal with it!

Did you never wonder why googlemaps can show you a quite accurate picture of the current traffic on your desired road? That's because google pings the location of the phones and sees wether you are on the road or staying in one place. The traffic is basically a result of all smartphones (Andorid) that passed this road or are on it

Well i guess not, since you stay there several hours they can estimate you work there

What!!! If Waze tells me it is more than 30 minutes, I would wait until the rush is over! (it is normally under 15 minutes)

I was tempted to make a joke here, but it would most certainly have been in the poorest of taste, so I will refrain from that, and instead I'll congratulate you on having such a short way to work.
Actually, I myself used to live only 5 minutes from work, but then I just HAD to go move out in the country side. Nice nature, but it's prolonging the commute considerably.
The MOST ANNOYING thing is that my company had promised to provide me with a parking space, but not yet done so. So until they get their collective fingers out, I have to take public transport, which takes me TWO elephanting hours each way (as opposed to around one hour each way in car as mentioned)!

You may move the joke to the soapboax
The really nice thing of being 15 minutes from the office is that I'm living in the middle of a forest - definitely country-side
