I recall when I first saw Ubers’s H3[1], it really reminded me of healpix (from grad school). I know the algorithm is different but similar problem space: “given a point on a sphere, assign it to a stable cell ID” 1. https://www.

Really appreciate the link. I simply had no idea about this history. Just the sheer intellectual dishonesty is mind-boggling.
