I'm done with the conversation.
People are just being haters to hate.
Just asking for a use case.
Scott did you even watch the video? A case was directly presented in the video.
I didn't watch the video (at work) can you fill me in on the use case?
Every 3 meter square is assigned a combination of 3 words at random. That 3 word combination of 40000 words is unique in the entire world.
So if you remember your 3 word address, it's the only place in the world with that combination. Meaning you are in a universally unique location that can be given to someone.
Hey I'm at lolly.ranch.frame, see you soon.
Rather than "hey I'm at 154 elm street" which there are possibly hundreds of 154 elm streets or even multiple in the same region.
No I got that... what was the use case they supplied?

Regions that are margially developed, like Brazil. There may be a few streets in an area all interconnected. But thousands of homes in that region.
Where people are literally walking through someone elses' home to get to the road.

Remember that to use the three words, the person had to...
- Have a GPS coordinates
- Have access to the three word conversion system.
- Convert and memorize the three words.
- Convey those three words manually.
- Have the three words received and memorized.
- Have the person have access to convert the three words back to something useful.
- Get the GPS coordinates from the system
Or without the three words...
- Have GPS coordinates.
- Send GPS coordinates.
- Receiver must have GPS access.
The three word system requires all the complexity of the GPS system, but then adds many more dependencies that aren't useful.

You are assuming that people will be using old fashioned addresses, why? If the three word system depends on something else that already has been replaced, that makes it useless. The people in those remote locations can just send their GPS data today. Problem solved.

Why would I be assuming this? This way clearly stated for locations that don't and can't use old fashion addressing as it doesn't work in that region of the world.
FFS man watch the video and come back to me once you've seen the tree. The trees were shown, very clearly.
-
Let's get back to... what is the use case for this bizarre system? Give example cases where it is in some way useful. But no example can include any case where GPS would have worked in the same situation.

But no place needs those. So that defines the system as useless. I HAVE watched the video, that's why I knew it was useless years ago.

Have you watched the video? If so, and you feel there is value to the system, explain what it is.

I already have watched the video, the value is for places like gutty cities in Brazil etc.
Not for highly developed parts of the world.

That's my point exactly. The need for addresses is a solved problem that doesn't exist today. So, given the stated dependency of the three word system on something that doesn't exist as a problem, I assume you now agree that it is silly and pointless?

We jsut showed why that is wrong. So we agree, it's pointless.

What value does it have then? Why not just use GPS? I'm not "hating" on it... just seems like a solution looking for a problem that was already solved by a better more reliable way.
-
They claim that without an address, you live outside of the law and might as well not exist. What BS that is. The very basis for the entire video is based on an obvious falicy.

The problem is people have an incredibly hard time remembering numbers. Phones and GPS is great and all, if you have a device that is able to pull / share that information with the person you're in need or / talking too.

In the TED video, he provides examples of why he wanted this system... but in it proves that the three word system can't work. His truck driver went north of Rome instead of South. But if people get words wrong, the three word system is worse, rather than better, than other options.
-
TED talk also said that they wanted something simpler than GPS, but they made something more complex.
