2 x 10^34 for those people who like to use numbers to represent numbers in a sane way.

I think this is why they usually go after the people distributing the data for copywriter infringement, and not the people who use the data.

It may not be stealing, but it definitely is copywriter infringement.

I think all of your points were covered in the video, sometimes almost verbatim.

Going into debt is how they “print” money. Those are the same thing. Having debt isn’t necessarily a bad thing though, but creating too much money can increase inflation. If not handled carefully it would collapse the economy as you elide over.

Market cap doesn’t say how much cash they have available. For that, look at cash on hand which publicaly traded companies need to report

MS has about 75B cash on hand, so they could afford this themselves. They will probably argue that it will bring jobs and expertise to the state. Also, it’s a loan, so the interest will generate funding for the state as well. nevermind, not a loan from the state, so no interest would go to the state.

The question is moot from both sides of the deal, but understanding why is important.

For something like a game, you will only ever pay approximately what you think a game is “worth”. How you determine that value is entirely up to you and should be based on your own opinions and beliefs. Therefore, if you derive value from supporting niche developers, that’s great for you and you should continue to do so as you wish. If you don’t value that quite as much, then wait for a sale price that does.

Your individual decisions will not affect the decisions of publishers and developers.

Their decisions will take into account the total profit that they think a game can provide over its lifetime. This is determined by the initial price and sales as well as future discount prices and sales. The way they estimate the potential profit of a new project is based on past data. If they see most of their sales at launch time, they will price the game accordingly. If they see more revenue over time from sales, then they will price the game accordingly. As long as they continue to hit those goals, then they will continue making products for those audiences.

Therefore, the best way to support the projects you like is to buy the game when the price justifies the value to you. That is buy it whenever you want. The only way to not support (I am purposefully avoiding the word hurt) the publisher and developer is to pirate the games.

Read and find out

No, because he was no longer the chancellor when he was fired from his position as a professor.

He had 2 jobs, chancellor and professor. He was previously fired from the role of chancellor. He has now been fired from his role as professor.

RAFO.

The sentence, although confusing, is correct.

I’ll start by saying do not do this, but even if it was wired wrong and neutral was connected to hot and everything was properly insulated, then the breaker would trigger pretty quickly since it would be a short.

If the breaker is faulty, then there could be a bigger issue, but that’s fairly unlikely.

Yeah, I have to take breaks sometimes and be in the right mood. I find that I like to play more when I’m going through a boring patch at work and I need something mentally stimulating.

Everything except the losing interest part is what people love about factory games. So while they have your interest, realize that you are absolutely playing them “correctly”. But if you don’t like iterating your designs (not everyone does, and that’s OK), then these are probably not the right genre for you.

Don’t give them free advertising then.

Do you mean geologic, not geographic?

How does that work though? Sedimentary rocks formed in the last 100 years must be way deeper than any of the soil that could be affected by the atmosphere?

Or am I overthinking this and you’re saying that there’s an indicator in recent soil deposits that correlates to radioactive testing.

You say that likes it’s a bad thing, but you’re describing a “fan”, someone who likes a thing and wants to spend their disposable time, energy, and money on that.

I don’t say this to specifically defend Disney, but rather to push back on the hyperbolic language. As an example by absurdity: you could say that the RIAA pushes band, string, choir, etc classes in grade school onto kids to get them hooked on music so that more kids will be hooked on music as adults.

Are you completing them quickly and correctly? If you are, that might be the issue.

Try making mistakes and then undoing them, as if you mis-clicked.

He’s the Pope, he’s literally the head of the world’s largest group of people regularly practicing the lack of critical thinking.

You should see an increase, but likely small. Since the end point increased and since the curve only increases between upgrades, that means that all points before the end point must also increase. However, most of the benefit is now granted in the first half of the upgrades possible, so at your level the increase per level will be smaller than it was before.

It is my understanding that the statues that he’s being charged under do not depend on the classification of the documents. The problem is that the documents belonged to the government and were not returned upon multiple requests. Therefore, even if the documents were declassified, which they were not, the same charges could still be brought against him.

Can you renovate your current home to get another bedroom and maybe some more common space?

You could probably get a 2nd mortgage for a project like that but if you aren’t familiar with them then you should speak to a financial advisor (one that has a fiduciary duty to you). This may allow you to keep your existing mortgage and rate on the first loan and only pay the higher rate on the 2nd.
