I can loan Google the $5 if they need it.

They should have just committed to the bit and demanded a googolplex of rubles from Google.

for the record, that is $10,779,224,060,605,347,000,000,000,000,000,000 (american) dollars

That one guy is pitching in $5 so now Google owes $10,779,224,060,605,346,999,999,999,999,999,995

I will pitch in .000000000000000000000001 Bitcoin, so that’s either insignificant or enough to pay off everything, I have no idea!

Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca on 29 Oct 2024 15:45 next collapse

About 200 million trillion times the entire global GDP

lanolinoil@lemmy.world on 29 Oct 2024 19:53 collapse

they should just print company script and send it to them

on the other hand, when Putin’s done killing off most of their own present and future workforce in a senseless war and completely tanking his own economy, that might be the equivalent of like $3

Putting everything else aside:

Why do they think they have any right to be platformed by Google, a private American company?

Can I demand that anti Putin content be platformed on VK or they have to pay me genuinely absurd fines?

fl42v@lemmy.ml on 29 Oct 2024 17:00 next collapse

You can, but why’d you want to platform something on a social network singlehandedly lowering the IQ of the whole IP address block?

ATDA@lemmy.world on 29 Oct 2024 17:14 collapse

I don’t want to be your friend. I’m going to fine you weekly until you are!

sem@lemmy.ml on 29 Oct 2024 14:56 next collapse

What do you think, how long should we wait until the overflow in the debts database makes the value negative?

palordrolap@fedia.io on 29 Oct 2024 19:01 collapse

Who knows what data type they're using. Based on the values given, it's already getting close to 128 bits, and most languages don't have a data type that large in their standards.

I figure it will be more like "Vasily! Print another page of zeros!"

toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 29 Oct 2024 16:09 next collapse

I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?

Railcar8095@lemm.ee on 29 Oct 2024 21:58 next collapse

I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)

mostlikelyaperson@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 2024 09:12 collapse

Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.

TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org on 29 Oct 2024 17:13 next collapse

The amount is doubled every week until the decision is fulfilled, with no limit on the total amount.

When you skipped the day they went over exponential functions in algebra.

kokesh@lemmy.world on 29 Oct 2024 17:43 next collapse

I predict they get jackshit

Adderbox76@lemmy.ca on 29 Oct 2024 20:28 next collapse

What is that, about tree-fiddy American?

djsoren19@yiffit.net on 29 Oct 2024 20:53 next collapse

honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it’s about as likely as 2 undecillion.

Jrockwar@feddit.uk on 29 Oct 2024 22:55 next collapse

If they keep duplicating the ask, soon they’ll be asking for a googol from Google. Hehe.

resetbypeer@lemmy.world on 30 Oct 2024 06:51 next collapse

Sounds like Russia is a little on cash…

Not a fan of Google, but they look probably like this: <img alt="" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSULIM-FEgvXGb1kQi-6fY6skJToKqORx0iSATK33Q&s=0">

So that’s like what, $20 American?
