Also the currency in Google Flights... It always defaults based on your IP geolocation.
Defaulting to local currency is good since people usually book in local currency, putting switch button at the end is really bad though.

Oh wow. Guess I need to get a job at Apple just to add a `Mark all as read` button to voicemails.
And the ability to undo deleting voicemails. And record voicemails client side using AI transcription to deliver thnesss

There's no such mapping, you could do a text search and if the item name matches then maybe US ASIN 2785334 should correspond to UK ASIN 3894948, or maybe some third party just named something ambiguously. They're essentially GUIDs and essentially separate businesses.
Sorry this is just not true. ASINs can be the same cross marketplace. There are lower level identifiers available if needed

Ive lived in Australia for 45 years, everything is in km.. never had to touch it for miles. However i did go to the US and it showed units in miles on my phone which made no sense. In Gmaps, Tap your profile picture, then select "Settings" and "Distance units". Choose between "Automatic", "Kilometers", or "Miles". Pick the units you want.
That's in the mobile app. In the web browser, there's no such setting. Or at least, none that I can find.
It "seems" persistent for me.

My biggest Amazon annoyance. I'm often looking for some product, reading Reddit and other reviews. They usually link to amazon.com. Then it asks me to switch my profile to American/$. But then in order to order I need to switch back to Germany/€. It's just super cumbersome. Just let me view stuff from any region without switching profiles. If I order from that region you can tell me to switch profiles. But not just f…
It doesn't work in all cases, but I can often replace the .com with .ca. It doesn't guarantee availability, but can at least check if the same listing is available on the Canadian store.
There was an old legend for an Apple bug (but I can’t exactly remember what). He complained about this macOS bugs for years. Worked for Apple for a couple months, fixed the issue, then quit.

Imagine the data they must have on the speeds people actually drive on every mile of every road, they’d easily be able to warn you not that you’re “over the speed limit” as in driving 70 on the freeway, but more usefully, if you’re in the top X percentile of speeds usually or even currently driven, which actually is a decent measure of unsafe was and would also be a great predictor of likelihood to get a ticket.
I share your intuition that your likelihood of getting a ticket is related to the speed of other vehicles. Presumably, police choose to prioritise ticketing the worst offenders when there are too many offenders to handle. But I don't share your intuition that safety is also relative in that way. If you're driving dangerously (too fast, or while drunk), you're driving dangerously, even if everyone else is driving dang…
It's fine to point out that many people are terrible drivers and that a given crash that happens is more dangerous at a higher speed and if everybody were to drive under 60 at all times we'd all be safer, but clearly that will never happen unless we install a totalitarian government, put governors on all cars and give prison time for disabling them, with enforcers stationed everywhere to monitor. But no democracy would vote for that, so I don't think it's worth spending much mental energy on such hypotheticals.
> encourage
I think just the opposite: My feature would encourage people like me, who drive a "fast car" and can occasionally accidentally go too fast if a road is especially uncongested, to slow down to the speed that is customary or that others are driving, by reminding me that I could get a ticket and that driving faster than everyone else is dangerous.
