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.
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.
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
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.
…rubles
50 dollars
Russia helping the US government force google to boycott russia.
Russia just can’t help making a joke out of itself…
They must have taken into account the future inflation rates when they expect to receive the payment…
Texaco when you call them out for enslaving people
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.
It’s no surprise there aren’t any good standup comics in Russia.
The best comic relief they have is running the country lmao
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

Exactly. I’m still missing the comical “or else…”.
Lmao
That’s… More than all of the value of everything on earth, combined.
By a lot.
I wouldn’t give a quarter of Earth for that much. 😤
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.
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.
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 seriously, how would google pay more money than the world has? At least pretend to be serious, and fine them for a few billions only
