    That is a cool visualization. Punched in my grandparents' town and a bunch of the slices stretched 1500km over three states away. A lot of the US is big and empty.

    Moore's law for 10-15 years was more like 20-100x ram sizes, not 2-4x. Performance, storage, etc is definitely getting better, but it's a different scale of improvement
