Exactly. I’m still missing the comical “or else…”.
You owe the Russian government $20 that’s you’re problem. You owe the Russian government $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 that’s their problem.
that’s you are problem

For those wondering how the hell the number got so stupidly large, starting somewhere in 2022:
The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.
By week 20 Google was already “owing” over 1 billion dollars and over 1 trillion by week 30. So expect the funny number to keep growing just because.
In any case, I don’t think Google will come back to Russia anytime soon. Probably nothing to be gained there anyway.
Doubling every week means an interest rate of almost 5 × 1017 %. That can barely offset the ruble’s inflation.
I thought some court clerk had fallen asleep writing out zeroes and that’s what they’d ended up with.
Lmao
That’s… More than all of the value of everything on earth, combined.
By a lot.
They were smart and accounted for 6 months or so of Russian inflation as their currency collapses.
N = { value of everything in the Earth’s crust, including art, wildly inflated for tax purposes }
N^2 < [(this fine)/(the U.S. GDP)]
This number is so comically large it only makes sense in astrophysics.
Miss me with that astrophysics ish. Come holla when you on that Ramsey theory and Graham’s Number.
rips bong
We are the projection of a higher order dimension, being sucked into a higher order dimension black hole.
We passed the event horizon which gave all static mass a direction of motion from which they cannot escape.This is the arrow of time.
It wasn’t everything all at one point for the big bang, it was just the tip of a higher order dimension iceberg. This 0-100 moment is what caused the CMB.
All of this information is being compressed. The universe is not expanding. The only thing that expands is the nothingness between all massive objects as they further compress towards nothingness, giving the illusion of infinite accelerating expansion.
All invisible forces, from the 'dark matter’s to electromagnetism, are dimensions projected into this Allegory of the cave of a universe we’re stuck in.
Miss me with that real shit let’s get high and make shit up.
On a serious note, you should learn about Graham’s number, it’s legit mind-blowing.
I’m familiar, been watching mumberphile for close to a decade 😎
Edit: shit, over a decade. I saw this vid when it was new…
You, uh… You do a newsletter?
Value is relative. My cat is worth way more than that.
I would sell my cat for a bag of pretzels.
I would sell your cat together with the cat of the guy above you for a single pretzel.
I wouldn’t give a quarter of Earth for that much. 😤
Depends on the currency.
No, it literally does not.
That’s how ridiculous that number is.
Convert to Shiba Inu, Dodgcoin, idc. Still not even fucking close.
The the infamous Weimar Republic mark was only one 4.2 trillionth of a dollar. This is a quadrillion x quadrillion dollars.
It’s closer to quintillion x quintillion.
Just like 6 orders of magnitude larger.
To put that into perspective, the World Bank estimates global GDP as around $100 trillion, which is peanuts compared to the prospective fine. Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow.
Seems a bit suspect.
this also puts in perspective how dystopian all of the “this person might be the world’s first trillionaire!!!” articles are
Seems a bit suspect.
Typical for the Russian legal system
Lol it’s not an onion article!
How do you do this as a country and think anyone will respect anything you threaten again?There’s still a window you could “fall” out of…
Like seriosly, how would google pay more money than the world has? At least pretend to be serious, and fine them for a few billions only
Google buys Russia
Oh this is even worse! Imagine if we transitioned to Nation Company states!? The United States of Apple…hey. We don’t gotta change anything…USA! USA!
There’s a reason why all the cyberpunk stories are about corporatacracies and/or spacefaring feudalist states running human society in the future. Life imitates art.
Neal Stephenson has entered the chat.
I don’t see the problem, it will be just like the days of company towns, except way bigger, they will control the banks, hospitals, prisons and military, and you cannot leave unless they let you!
You laugh, but we’re getting closer and closer to this every day
It is de facto already the case, thanks to bad campaign finance laws.
Probably on the cards at some point when a company exceeds the gdp of a country.
It’s essentially an asset purchase
It’s much cheaper to buy the politicians than the whole country.
Yes, but most if not all countries in the world run on deficits. Not a good investment.
That might be an improvement over Putin.
30 second unskippable ad before an oligarch accidentally falls out of a window.
No. I will not live in a Shadowrun campaign without the dragons and orcs to keep me company. Just no.
Sorry bud, best RL can do for ya is kinda ok-ish VR. At least you can rock an 80s punk-glam style!
Thought this was Ludacris so I googled the Russian gdp and google networth and yeah google could legitimately bye Russia with some change.
They need Nuclear power plants and think of the passive cooling of a Siberian data=centre!
Just wait a while and I’ll be nickle. Althout Musk might be interested now.
Putin only wishes he could be bought out and become an American oligarch.
Twenty decillion rubles, best we can do is $3.50
It’s gonna be bout tree fiddy. Always tree fiddy! Gat dang lock-ness monsta!
I gave him a dollar…
I can pay two duodecillion tokens in a cryptocurrency I just made up. It is on track to overtake the ruble eventually!
That’s the exchange rate
They should start a payment plan. $5 per day.
The current amount would be paid off by Saturday, April 11, 10951628027954030802047011389440
So it’ll be paid off sometime between the last star dying and the first black hole evaporating.
considering the track record they should start putting “courts” in quotes when discussing Russia.
20 decillion is more than the GDP of the entire earth by many orders of magnitude.
But the fine is 20 decillion rubles, not dollars.
So like half a tic tac and a stick of bubblegum. Got it
Lol, such weak minded pussies, let me explain. For reference, that number is very roughly half of all atoms on earth. If you had that kind of money in cash, it would be larger than earth, it would be heavier than the sun and fucking obliterate our solar system. It’s absolute lunacy, so they could have gone further and got more out of it. Like asking for a googol dollars (a 1 with a hundred zeros), not only is it actually funny (a play on Google’s name), but that would finally be enough to nuke the entire observable universe. But no, turns out fascists aren’t creative and their statements are just the result of rabies.
Please learn to exponent. 20 • 10^33^ So much more clear
But not nearly as interesting seeing the big number. Also, who is that supposed to be clear to? The raised numbers are so small I can’t even read them on my phone.
It’s your phone! You can change the font size or your lemmy client if it renders these numbers incorrectly.
Apparently not on boost lol
Or just in the browser. Whatever app they are using is not following the same markdown as Lemmy, which supports only one level:
10^33^= 1033.
Not really. Most people aren’t familiar with scientific or engineering notation. Writing £1,000,000, one million pounds or £1Million is a lot clearer than writing £1×10^6.
My cars odometer says 91,584, not 91.584×10^3
Your examples are with small enough numbers that indeed it can also be written out. Now if you please, write out 7.45•10^16
It’s not about the size of the number, it’s about presenting information in a way that the average reader can understand. The best way to do that is to present it in the way that they’re accustomed to and I don’t think I’ve ever seen scientific notation used to refer to a sum of money.
It’s great that you and I understand scientific notation, but it’s worthlesss when you’re trying to get the average person to understand what you’re writing if they don’t know it themselves.
To make myself clear, I’m not saying that scientific notation isn’t useful, I’m just saying that most people don’t understand it.
For extra credit, 74,500,000,000,000,000 aka seventy four quintillion, five hundred quadrillion.
It’s click bait. Using exponents are not as eye catching.
Lmao broke css that’s how long the number is
Is that in USD or in rubles?
Robux.
They’ve moved on from apple gift cards?
Can’t Google just give them a box of Google Play Store cards and be done?
50% off any gacha game whale bundle, plus a
twothree month free trial of Play Pass Plus!imagine the inflation though!
Since everyone is just giving you joke answers, it appears to be USD.
I mean, I was mostly making a joke myself, the conversion rate is what 1 usd to 97 rubles?
While an entire order of magnitude is insane- especially at that large a number, the difference isn’t really meaningful.
Dogecoin
First one, then the other.
Robux since that’s more valuable than the Russian ruble
