Why are we going back to 1990? It all depends on what we're after.

Anyway I'd make a name for myself in the VX scene so I need lots of documents, research papers, and source codes. Probably about 10GB. WinXP32bit ISO. A list of things to bet on/invest in. GIMP source code and all the libraries required i.e. open source programs that are way more advanced than their closed source counterparts e.g. the linux kernel (we'll work something out). Tons of windows exploit codes and binaries. Metasploit/pentesting material etc.Lectures of RMS. We're probably up to 25GB at this point. Rest is for porn imo.

That's why you're supposed to bring a database of the actual stock prices and volumes of all companies between 1990 and 2016, so you can observe any deviation and compensate for it.

Its likely that you'd still have advanced warning of any market crashes that would affect your stocks, which of course is extremely valuable to have by itself.

to be completely fair, a "700M" cd is actually 807M (360000 2352b sectors), cd-rom adds extra ECC over the original cd-audio standard to make them better for general data storage
cd also uses EFM (eight to fourteen modulation) to help scramble the data such that you avoid strings of ones or zeros, which are difficult for the laser to track, after EFM, there's actually 1.38G worth of pits/lands (bits) on the disc surface

You'll be sitting on your music for several years. MP3 wasn't invented until 1993 and it wasn't really popular until 1997. I don't even think the decoders back then supported the fancy VBR encodes of today.

It really depends what you want to do.

You could in theory bring with your music from the future and release it as your own.
Releasing things like movies/music too early will get you way too much attention, years ago elite torrents was shut down for posting a torrent of the shitty star wars prequels, think what might happen to you.

Wikipedia seems like the most valuable resource to bring with you to the past, but who knows how it will be viewable (if at all) back in 1990, until you get a computer that can read the data it might all just be from memory util then.

How will I view 32GB of data in the 90s? Back then my PC had one 8GB hard disk that had to be formatted into two 4GB partitions. Will I have 50,000 floppies?

I would bring a list of companies and when to buy shares of their stock. e.g. Apple, Google, etc. And winning lottery numbers.

now I think about it I would prevent every significant political event that resulted in the blackening of sweden and europe as well as the muslimification of europe.

I'd pour my money into creating a larger western millitary that goes into Iraq and North Korea and completely overthrows their governments.

I would remove every gun and bomb from the middle east.

I would implement strategies in africa that would prevent them from migrating to western countries but still allow them to make a future for themselves by giving them education. I would completely ban their ability to ever leave their continent though.

The butterfly effect is so serious, that the moment you set foot on the ground, the air pressure will cause little changes around you, which means that in the short term, someone who is boiling water may boil it for 0.004 sec more. A sound may arrive a couple of miliseconds later or earlier. A fly, insect or something else small and living will slightly deviate from the path. Your footprints will crush bacteria, which will eventually affect microscopic life (though this is more long term). You breathing in the air will slightly change the airflow around you as well. You emitting heat, taking sunshine, producing smell. All the variables coming from you, just from existing in the past, will irrevocably change reality from reality that would have been, even without doing anything.

The stock markets are the biggest effects on this reality, while you may be able to avoid the ripples from reaching the stock market, before you can play it. The moment you play even once in that game, you will nullify the rest of your charts.

The best strategy that you could do, is first of all maximize your path to a stock exchange, and to a bank where you will put your gold bars in storage, so you can minimize the speed of the change that your existence has on this reality. It may allow you to avoid the stock market from changing.

And then, you just find the biggest fucking thing that you can exploit, and go all out, get the top bucks for as much as you can.

At that point however, its mostly over. Your playing with the stock market will have affected so many lives, so many things, that your charts will be useless. At that point, you should just get on your ass and look for smaller things, like horse races in some backwater towns that dont have good internet access, or dont rely on variables from the outside world that much (like them being a logistics hub)

Come the fuck on. Like living in the woods outside a one horse town until the apple stock you bought rises in price will affect it.

The whole point of pulling a Tannen is to NOT end up with the same future. If you're careful and try not to interact with people or places people go, you should be pretty damn golden.

Besides, there's more stuff to bet on than stocks. You could observe football games develop, make a theory on the deviation from your sports almanac and hedge your bets thusly. Germany might not win against Uruguay in '98, but that doesn't mean they won't win the world cup in '02 or whatever, you know what I mean.

Besides, if you go back with fundamental research data you can effectively boost science twenty years "for free", without having to build the LHC.

Imagine what the alternative machine would look like...

that's a ludicrous strawman of the butterfly effect though.
it isn't "jobs looks at the stock and kills himself", it's "the stock rises, a series of events occur diverging from history as we know it resulting from that, eventually leading to the series of events that causes jobs to kill himself."

it's a chain of events. you can't take a single link in the chain and say "this definitively did it all." doing that is like saying "steve jobs quitting apple = the iMac."

what makes you think things like (especially) lottery numbers which depend on sheer randomness will end up the exact same twice? what makes you think that you winning the lottery instead won't have an impact on history either? what about philanthropic efforts that the other winner would have taken part in? or the different businesses and industries his money would have gone into? or the people subtly influenced by the simple action of watching you win it on TV instead of the other guy?

Because ultimately, you really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Say that guy didn't give any money to charity, then what? You're both just buying different things. Sure you could argue that the guy would lose his job instead of winning the lottery and become a terrorist or something. But you can't really know. It's a thought experiment, and it'd be foolish to take the philosopher's route and go "U CAN'T KNO NUFFIN"
