<br>
This is an example of the first way I and I think others in the<br>
humanitarian world need to use OLCs to evaluate them for what they can<br>
or can not solve for humanitarian and other use cases:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://twitter.com/BlakeGirardot/status/1028689726088388609" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/BlakeGirardot/status/1028689726088388609</a><br>
<br>
We need to deal with them at scale, not at the "look up" an individual<br>
address process which is trivial to solve.<br>
<br>
That is really the first step, for folks to learn the grid and it's<br>
inherent scale steps and how that translates into OLC codes of various<br>
lengths.<br>
<br>
