We try :) The only caveat is you have to be able to buy new hard drives faster than open data grows. There's at least 100 million new records a year

Ancient Greek Pelias sent Jason. We send JSON, so mostly the same thing

Doing a bit of reminiscing today about the Mapzen days, this time with Lily He's "Letter to Future Interns" It's still a great cache of advice and links for all things Pelias Geocoder, geocoding in general, and software development github.com/pelias/pelias/…

Ouch. But, honestly, also fair.

PSA: if you are using Elasticsearch for Pelias, ensure it's _not_ open to the internet. You will have all your data deleted by the Meow attack or others like it. We've already had one community member write in that they've been hit arstechnica.com/information-te…

Pelias's success is in no small part thanks to Brian opening approximately several thousand GitHub issues in 2015-2016, covering most of the state of Florida, which to this day allow us to continue to improve our geocoding results 🙏 Thanks Brian

A great question from one of our community members: "What's the best way to contribute missing addresses" We wrote back with several different options for contributing open data including OpenAddresses and OpenStreetMap, and when to use them github.com/pelias/pelias/…

Our friends at ReachNow have confirmed what so many of us already know: address quality in OSM in Germany is pretty incredible. Cool part is they used the Pelias `pbf2json` tool to do it. medium.com/reachnow-tech/…

The Geocoder gem supports Pelias too, of course! github.com/alexreisner/ge…

If you like reading about the internals of a geocoder (of course we do!), then this post on how Algolia Places works/worked should fascinate you thanks Jason Bosco for the share laptrinhx.com/behind-the-sce…

We love hearing about people using Pelias. If you're using it for a personal project, for a business, a non-profit, in government, anything. If you wrote your masters thesis about Pelias we DEFINITELY want to hear about it. We just saw this today: liu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva…

You love to hear it! x.com/tonialaribe/st…

You know it!

Congrats to our friends at Nominatim for their v4 release! Big things happening in the geocoding world nominatim.org/2021/11/03/rel…

Though Pelias uses Elasticsearch, we do not believe it is possible to exploit the new #log4shell log4j vulnerability through Pelias Please follow this GitHub issue for the latest details and updates github.com/pelias/pelias/…

For your Friday geocoding fun-fact we give you 6 1/2 Avenue in New York City atlasobscura.com/places/6-1-2-a…

How does a geocoder decide what results to show and in what order? Here's a brief overview tacked on to the end of an _excellent_ thread about speech/text processing by John Wiseman
