-To order these distances strictly, it is now enough to check that, for every $r>0$, the set $A \cap [0,r]$ is finite. But $A \cap [0,r]$ corresponds to the number of points in $D \cap B(c,r)$, which is a compact set containing no accumulation points. Hence it is finite.+To order these distances strictly, it is now enough to check that, for every $r>0$, the set $A \cap [0,r]$ is finite. But the cardinal of $A \cap [0,r]$ corresponds to the number of points in $D \cap \overline{B(c,r)}$, which is a compact set containing no accumulation points. Hence it is finite.

-  * One can avoid Baire’s theorem by using a measure-theoretic argument. Let $\lambda_d$ be the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Since $\lambda_d(H_{a,​b})=0$,​ we get $\lambda_d(\bigcup_{a,​b \in D} H_{a,​b})=0$. Hence $\bigcup_{a,​b \in D} H_{a,b} \neq \mathbb{R}^d$.+  * One can avoid Baire’s theorem by using a measure-theoretic argument. Let $\lambda_d$ be the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Since $\lambda_d(H_{a,​b})=0$ ​and $D$ is countable, we get $\lambda_d(\bigcup_{a,​b \in D} H_{a,​b})=0$. Hence $\bigcup_{a,​b \in D} H_{a,b} \neq \mathbb{R}^d$.
   * For $D = \mathbb{Z}^d$,​ one can construct $c$ explicitly, for example $c=(\pi,​\ldots,​\pi^d)$. Then, for $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}^d$,​ the equality $\|c-a\|^2=\|c-b\|^2$ becomes a polynomial equation with integer coefficients having $\pi$ as a root. This is impossible unless $a=b$, since $\pi$ is not algebraic. However, this explicit construction of $c$ does not generalize (or at least not simply) when $D$ is not $\mathbb{Z}^d$.   * For $D = \mathbb{Z}^d$,​ one can construct $c$ explicitly, for example $c=(\pi,​\ldots,​\pi^d)$.
