   I meant dumb as simple in a technological sense. The idea is quite attractive but there are so many problems with their wordlists and algo that I don't consider it a system worth using, even it was not proprietary and unlawfully patent

   You are making point (location) in polygon (building) queries anyways, if I understood you correctly. GNSS can be off, there is not much you can do about this for free. Any other location-description will be the same. You cannot fix GNSS ac

    That's written by an opinionated R person/book-writer and stays on a very basic level of anecdotes and hearsay. Some comparisons are super short-sighted. For example the author seems to consider searching pypi for keywords are rea

    Good for you. How is your FTP file synchronisation going? Sarcasm aside, surely you know how much of an outlier you are. Your comment sounds pretty limited on empathy for other lifestyles.

    "brand value", "online reputation", bah! Those are meaningless words for a customer who cares about the actual quality of something. New owners not having the same standards and ethics is more common than not. (Can go bo
