Too bad the quantization of the CD is only 16 bits, if it had been only 20 bits, CD sound could have been above all critics. Still I don't really understand people that still buys vinyl, such an obsolete technology

I think it is a matter of months, before crypto mining is banned in Europe and the US. Just because cryptomining is a bottomless well : The more crypto miners earn money, the more they invest on graphic cards and the more they consume electricity. Inevitably, there will be supply problems

Those high tower are just nonsense, from a human and an ecological point of vue, especially for residential buildings. New buildings, should have no more than six floors

New comment by boyadjian in "Macron says France will build new nuclear energy reactors"

boyadjian — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 21:50:43 +0000

For me, what emerges from this story is the lack of anticipation on the part of the French government. For years, nuclear power was discredited because it was not environmentally friendly, so we shut down power plants, and now we have to refabricate them? All this makes no sense. Moreover, the production of a nuclear power plant is very long, how are we going to do it in the meantime?

Why would you "stop working", when you have a wonderful job ? Rich people almost always have interesting jobs, so no reason to stop

The media’s handling of the Covid crisis has been dismal, no wonder, the public is turning away

I don't think it's a good thing buying a vinyl turntable nowadays. There is a current hype with vinyl, but I am not sure it will last. Many people say that vinyl has a superior sound, but this is mainly because a good turntable adds some bass to the sound (And sometimes treble), compensating the lack of bass of bad loudspeakers, but with real good loudspeakers, CD usually sounds better
