Because someone submitted it, and people found it interesting and upvoted it. Did you have a different qualification in mind?

Hello $BOSS! I have a code change that is so vital to the survival of our company that: 1. It requires your immediate review. 2. If you fail to respond by Monday, I will push it to production. --- Can anyone suggest what is wrong here?

Of course there were smoking and non-smoking sections on airplanes. The same air recirculated through the entire airplane, and the non-smoking section began the very next row after the smoking section.

Yes, you could write code to do that. Or use the utilities provided in the TopoJSON GitHub and let them do it for you: convert to TopoJSON, simplify, convert back to GeoJSON. They have already written all the code for you.

It depends on what purpose you are using the polygons. In an online map you need to simplify way down. Consider these Colorado maps at two different zoom levels: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JH93ko96QcoLXuBJ9 https:/&#x2

Similarly, typical map APIs like the Google Maps API accept GeoJSON and not TopoJSON. I was not suggesting TopoJSON as a replacement for GeoJSON, but as a complement to it. With the tools on the TopoJSON GitHub, you can have GeoJSON input

Yes, the same "slivers" problem occurs when you try to simplify features in any format that uses individual polygons, such as shapefiles or whatnot. That's the only case I was referring to. I don't think I would trust a

To be clear, I'm not suggesting TopoJSON as an alternative to GeoJSON. I like GeoJSON and was loosely involved with the working group that created and updated its spec. I'm just saying that for the specific task I mentioned GeoJ

One task where GeoJSON falls down is simplification of a group of polygons with common boundaries, e.g. the 48 conterminous US states. If you start with a highly detailed set of polygons, you need to simplify them for practical display in a
