The value which these well known companies and their dubious CEOs provide is actually wafer thin, and is more about holding back or preventing change than enabling it. Other systems exist operating within a very different economic mode, and maybe in hindsight 2017 will have been a turning point.

This fundamental inconsistency never occurred to me

A friend once pointed out to me what a marketing coup the term "identity theft" was for the banks.
There is no such thing as identity theft. There is only companies' opening accounts in the wrong people's names. The culprits are companies who do an inadequate job of making sure their customers are who they say they are.
And yet the cost of this incompetence is borne almost entirely by someone who had no direct involvement in the actual crime.

@vfrmedia @stefanieschulte @jerry quite common in Ireland too. I had a great chat with a taxi driver last night. Was telling him about recent move, he told me about a concert he's going to. Sometimes people complain about taxi drivers talking to much when they wanna tune our. I'm surprised this isn't a thing in USA
@AkuAnakTimur I don't think they are required to link to the OSM.org site. It's a little bad form for Mapbox to give them the all clear to do this though. 😡
@AkuAnakTimur the #OSM licence requires that the attribution be shown so that regular users are likely to know that its from OSM. So hiding it away probably doesn't count. 😉😉

@garbados @bob @bhtooefr it's been a while since I did it, and only briefly. Plus I'm on a phone now.
But I think this Blog post explains how to do it. It's part of Tor.

@dgold ah OK. When you said scoring, I thought you meant like reddit votes.
The first thought you have is what you were conditioned to think.
Your second thought defines what sort of person you are.
