> When I click on the embedded map, it expands. But there is no link on the lower left allowing me to open that view in Google Maps.

...

...

> And the button bar below the search box, which contains items like Images, News, Videos, Websites does no longer contain the Maps entry, which would take me to Google Maps.

Both these statements appear to be false.

When I use a VPN with an US IP-address, then it's like yours. That's why I know that it's expected to be found at the lower left corner.

It's broken in Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Poland, apparently the entire EU.

When I change my "Results region" in the settings from "Germany" to "United States", "Switzerland" or any non-EU country, then the issue is fixed.


Does having an "open in maps" link somehow violate GDPR? No idea, but that's a plausible extrapolation from that (very irritating!) pattern.

Gotta love quantum computing false fronts :)

An academic architecture almost always has the following basic characteristics:

1) It offers both superior control and convenience.

2) It is simple to comprehend and cheaper to operate.

3) Systems are connected to each other with drawn lines.

4) The architecture "Decouples" systems to make them simpler, not more complex.

5) Data structures map cleanly to each other, with no loss.

6) Data structures are 1-dimensional collections of "fields".

7) The architecture is not used in production. No organizations depend on it economically.

.

On the other hand, a practical architecture can be distinguished by the following characteristics:

1) It is used in production. People rely on it daily.

2) It is expensive, and needs constant human attention to balance control and convenience.

3) It has no optimal state - only varying states of failure.

4) Its systems have myriad ways to connect. Some are incompatible with others.

5) Data structures are messy and arbitrary. Some are provably incorrect.

6) Unicode in particular is a problem.

7) It is not comprehensible by any single person.

.

With apologies to Admiral Rickover :)


Nope. Appears to be IP matching.

Served its initial purpose, but the domain will expire in 60 days. Not sure if worth the renewal.

"As flight testing increased to the higher Mach numbers, new problems arose. One, which today may be considered simple with our modern computer techniques, concerned the remote gearbox. The gearbox mounts started to exhibit heavy wear and cracks, and the long drive shaft between the engine and the gearbox started to show twisting and heavy spline wear. After much slide-ruling, we finally decided that the location of the gearbox relative to the engine was unknown during high Mach number transients. We resorted to the simple test of putting styluses on the engine and mounting a scratch plate on the gearbox. We found, to our astonishment, that the gearbox moved about 4 inches relative to the engine. This was much more than the shaft between the engine and the gearbox could take. The problem was solved by providing a new shaft containing a double universal joint."
