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.
I just feel bad for the IT guy that has to desperately make a computer system that hasn’t been funded since the invention of computers handle this bullshit math and giant numbers.
It’s a simple function, you don’t really need a whole lot of computing power to keep on track. Worst case you can simply remove the factorial and store the zeros in a separate array and tack them on in the output.
It depends on how they are representing the numbers. If they are stored as an “integer” they will overflow and wrap around after about 2 trillion. I’m not saying computers can’t handle larger numbers, I’m saying that in my extensive experience there’s always some part of older systems that generate some long-forgotten but essential report that never thought about handling huge numbers and breaks in unexpected ways.
Right, who knows if they are running the country on AS400…
Twenty Sextillion FYI

Google will soon owe Russia a googol
Doctor evil sure has went down hill.
Pinky to mouth: “20 Brazilian dollars”
I’m not going to try to figure out what that number actually is.
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.
Google Russia filed for bankruptcy last year, and Alphabet filed a claim against whatever Russian ministry is in charge for wrongful asset seizure in a US court to prevent any filings against them in the US. So nothing will ever come out of 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
there aren’t any good standup comics in Russia
I literally don’t believe this. I do believe that you won’t read about them on the open internet though. The human condition is universal, and includes humor. It’s dangerous to “other” the entire population of a country.
Also, as you point out, Ivan Standupkov doesn’t even have to be particularly good because the material that surrounds him practically writes itself.
There are plenty, and they aren’t exactly hiding either. All they need to make sure is avoid overly political jokes. You haven’t heard of them because their content is entirely in Russian.
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.
Russia just can’t help making a joke out of itself…
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
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
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

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.
You, uh… You do a newsletter?
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…
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.
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.
