50 dollars
Please learn to exponent. 20 • 10^33^ So much more clear
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.
It’s click bait. Using exponents are not as eye catching.
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.
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.
Just wait a few more weeks. Eventually when the value reaches ≈ $5.93 x 10^66
then, paying in gold, that would be such a huge ball it would create a black hole in which we could send putSSin and any other russians who would like to be crushed … or more simply crush him by any other means.So what does this mean for any existing business they do in Russia? I’m thinking mainly android / play store and things like YouTube?
They stopped any business in Russia in 2022 acvording to the article.
Guessing consumer products are still working though. Would like to know as well!
And was there somebody representing Google in the court? I doubt it.
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
Is that in USD or in rubles?
First one, then the other.
Dogecoin
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.
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!
Robux since that’s more valuable than the Russian ruble
Do you think they accept Linden Dollars?
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.

Let’s try one of their favorite retorts. No, u!
the internet in russia must be so good now
I play a lot of deadlock lately and i wish it was worse.
That equates to 1 googol rubles
Texaco when you call them out for enslaving people
considering the track record they should start putting “courts” in quotes when discussing Russia.
That’s in Ruzzian Rubles, in the civilized world we refer to that as: two flat stones.
I might expect this kind of pissantry from North Korea, but Russia?
You’d think Mr. Google would just have a little accident out an 8th floor window.
