- Someone 4y agoI think the argument is that it wastes lots of code space on uninteresting parts of the world, and also has higher resolution there. For the first, about ⅓ of the world’s population lives in 0110, and about 0 of it in 0000, 0010, 1000 and 1010, combined. For the second, I would use an area-preserving projection of earth on a square.
