Yes.

It takes one to know one, yep.

The visualisation of the detail in the groove is pretty eye-opening, seeing how much ”data“ is being stored as soundwaves in between the main grooves is astounding.

Very nice, i have a book in my library which you’ll find interesting.

Sadly it seems this book is rather rare.

Thank you for this! I had come across it by name before but totally forgot about it until you mentioned it again. I'll have to hunt it down, seems like some antique bookshops have it for a reasonable price.

I have found a pdf, it was on the InternetArchive, but got taken down there. AA has it!

I always wonder about when there is a cutoff about the grift, i mean there has to be a point when enough is enough. Who cares if its 4 or 5 billions in the end, thats more money one could reasonably spend in a lifetime. What drives this greed?

Power. People who want power need status, and money is the ultimate symbol. They can never have enough power because of their dark triad personalities.

The idea of winning. They have to keep winning because the idea of losing threatens their identity, which is in being a winner.

If I understand Trump, he wants to be the richest man in the world. It is another matter if can achieve that. But his ego would definitely want that.

Great article, thx for sharing it! What i want to know, where exactly is this city? I mean geographically, i even could not locate it on GMaps or the like?? I mean, i get it, thats the whole point isnt it? Still curious.

that's the work site. The residential town is about 10km SW of that marker.

Damn, that looks awful, those tailings alone…

And it looks like they have their own dedicated coal powerplant.

Yes，and I feel it's the sweetest home for many years.

Why?

Because of the cost of making and detonating so many bombs.

An App i suppose.
