We are trying to bring together the past and the present (realtime) memories together with http://momment.com
Other great example is http://1000memories.com but this is more of analog memories to digital artifacts as far as I see.

The list is becoming more of a reflect of HNSearch outputs[1][2].
The idea is that there are many cool stuff hacker news members did that we are not generally aware of (but hidden on the user's bios), and we can showcase them.
This is not 1000memories[3], but I find it nice that we can live forever through our creations.
On the other hand, this is a reflect of community, and if it decides it is no longer appropriate to list the members who left us, I'll respect it.

http://1000memories.com does a good job of collating the information, but you're right, a print version would be awesome.

I think they got the stat from this article: https://fstoppers.com/other/stats-how-many-photos-have-ever-been-taken… , which claims they got the stats from this other article (which ublock origin blocks for me, so I didn't open the link) http://1000memories.com/blog/94-number-of-photos-ever-taken-digital-an…
According to this page, the number is closer to 12.4 trillion: https://photutorial.com/photos-statistics/

Our product has evolved to become the 'new shoebox for your old photos'
Our business cards feature photos of us as kids, similar to our team page:
