At the SQL level, the ST_AsGeoJSON(record) variant will convert a tuple that includes a geometry and any combination of other columns into a GeoJSON output.
GeoJSON is not TopoJSON. Saying that is "falling down" is like criticizing a zebra for not being a giraffe. GeoJSON is a mapping of the (non-topological) "simple features" model into JSON, full stop. It does that fine.
I feel this howl. I found that sales work was forming relationships so that you could make promises, personal promises. And what drove me out of it was that, beyond a certain point, there was no way I could guarantee that the promises I was making would be met. There was too much uncertainty, too much risk. But the client, in their heart, wanted you to look them in the eye and say "we'll get it done". Real sales people could do that and then go home to dinner and bed and a good sleep. I would do that and then go home and stare at the ceiling for 12 hours.
In 1984 the idea was there were not enough people to listen to everyone, all the time, but the mere possibility was enough. Of course, for us with AI, things are considerable worse. Also, tele screens were mandatory. We are not there with cell phones in a de jure sense, but certainly there in a de facto sense. Of course, if enough people carry phones, it doesn't matter if a few stragglers don't, they will get caught in the net unless they live as hermits, in which case who cares about them. All the pieces are in place, there is no reason we cannot have a global North Korea.
Last couple times over the border the officers have pointed a camera at me (travelling on US passport), so I assume my mug is in there. Seems completely routine and universal at airports now? I wonder if the original passport photo has similarly been scanned at this point.
