Na cestách i necestách,
čas vždy nosíme s sebou.

Osobní měna s hodnotou nepřímé úměry.
Čím méně jí máme, tím vyšší má hodnotu.

Ale: „Memento mori memorare novissima.“

Co má pravou hodnotu jež přetrvá?

One of the issues with What3Words.

German hiker in the UK: I need help. My what three words location is
///aufgetragen.bauxit.lockt

Rescue: Wait a minute, I can't enter that. Can you change your What3Words app to English.

(A couple of minutes after fiddling with settings)

The German hiker sees
///analogy.guidebook.trickling

I don't know these words. Maybe Anal loggy guidebook treekling.

Rescue: Hmm, "Anal loggy guidebook treacele-ing" That's four words. Let me try the first three...

In OSINT Challenges news, I pulled up @gralhix's exercise 013 only to find it's no longer possible due to Google's polite sensibilities. I reviewed Gralhix's walk-through anyway and was happy to learn something new: the what3words geocoding system.

Something I might have normally dismissed as mumbo jumbo turns out to be a precise and easy-to-communicate way of sharing coordinates.

I can imagine various scenarios where this bit of knowledge might come in handy in an #OSINT investigation.

It's that time when you start to wonder when the latest red splashed accounts from #w3 #what3words will land.

Will they have run out of cash or will another investor have piled in?

Will revenues pass $1m?

Will they report early or wait till October?

TIL why Google has not thrown in any support for "What 3 Words"... they have their own competing system "Plus Codes"

This turns out to be something I've looked into because I independently came up with a similar idea around 2007. Mine had five words, more fidelity, support for multiple dictionaries or language, z-axis positioning, and checksum words.

https://blog.google/around-the-globe/google-asia/how-plus-codes-helped-create-new-home-addresses-in-india/

#what3words #pluscodes #geospatialpositioning

#What3Words is a brilliant addressing system, but its key disadvantage is you need a company's permission to use it, which they only grant if you either don't use it very much (maybe?) or you pay them. #Pluscodes, on the other hand, don't have that problem, and one can figure out that 8DC9+A2 is right next to 8DC9+A3.
