I've never heard of what3words before now and read up on their site. It's a fun idea but I wouldn't say its invention or even novel, just convenient. I'm not surprised they're relying on litigation to try and fend off competitors.

The second is 3600 miles east. It's an almost intentionally terrible system designed for people to be reliant on their services.
- rhacker 7y agoIt would be cool to base the closeness on word2vec somehow. Though, I'm not adept in either space to do that.
