I also feel like this about them, but I don't really have much knowledge on the subject. Do you have any experience or references that this might be the case?

It seems to me that you're demonstrating that What3Words doesn't provide precise coordinates on the globe to 3 decimal places. This is not surprising, given that they don't intend to do that, they chop the globe up into squar

If you're working with three words I don't see why base 26 would be relevant, I think you'd be looking at n^3 where n is the size of the set of words that you're considering. So wouldn't you just, split the 2-sphere

What's the definition of 'failed state'? For example Venezuela had hyperinflation a couple of years ago and people couldn't access everyday essentials, Colombia was sending toilet paper as aid. My personal experience is

I think they've learnt by to ignore feedback that they're pushing people too hard. Then over a period of years they learn by experience that they can get what they want out of people if they continue to push. So they have first ha

Oh I thought elections were usually in May?

Well if someone else was going to do it then I'm sure my brain would have been fine and there would have been no need for explosions. It wouldn't be that straightforward to find someone to translate a thesis though, you'd nee

Yeah if you look down, it used 920 in g and 0.02 in mg that's where the extra factor of 1000 came from. I think the 0.02 should also have been in g.

I would rather go with the large number of research groups who have scrambled to try to reproduce the results. They clearly did not estimate the probability to be 0. I don't see how any (correct, informed) predictions from the market c

I think they cater mostly to people whose first language is not English. Maybe they are still keeping intelligence on those people, but there is a legitimate need there

You're saying that, if this had been real, the stock market would have known about it before the scientific community? How exactly? The markets do predict things but they can't synthesise correct information out of nowhere. Wall S
