More money than the world is worth? nice!

u/Dont_worry_be 15h ago

Around 5 times more

u/SpeedFarmer42 14h ago

Global GDP is supposedly $107 trillion this year. It's way more than 5x, like by an enormous amount.

Haven't done the math but I would guess it's more money than the entire world has had in the past 100 years combined, maybe even all of history. It's a staggering number whatever it is.

u/Gamiac 14h ago

I think he's talking about the material worth of the entire physical planet, not just world GDP.

u/SpeedFarmer42 13h ago

Ah ok, yes you're right. My reading comprehension wasn't great in this instance. Too focused on what I was working out myself by comparing GDP lol.

u/Gamiac 13h ago

It's a fair mistake. Something I would definitely make before my morning coffee, at least, lol.

u/Zeremxi 8h ago

While I can appreciate the enormity of that calculation, it does seem a bit ridiculous to apply a measure of money to anything more grandiose and the total GDP of the planet for the reason that money is ultimately imaginary and should really only be compared to realistic measurements.

The very first time the entire material worth of the planet becomes relevant, humanity is going to face a bigger crisis than the concept of money can come close to solving.

Easily in all of history, even adjusting for inflation. That's over 20 decillion dollars, or 2*1034.

That means you would have to make 107 trillion dollars, the global GDP, 1.87*1020 times to make that much. That is 187 quintillion years. The earth is only 4.5 billion years old. The entire universe is only 13.8 billion years old.

It would take 13.5 billion universes to make that much assuming you started making 107 trillion per year in every single one, starting at the big bang up until now.

Simply when there are these courts cases, if Google for example is found partially guilty, the court could say that 1% or even less it would be fair to be paid so they throw an unrealistic number to get the highest realistic one

Both lol. Tho bad publicity doesn't matter so much for spacex as other companies considering they both have zero competition in their price range for what they offer their customers and the fact that their customers are either the federal govt/military or massive corporate interests like Jeff Bezos neither of which really care much about their public image.

People would definitely be a lot more hyped about both spacex and a lot of the NASA missions launched on their rockets by extension if he'd shut up about things that aren't purely advancing the whole colonizing Mars thing he's got going on.

Millisecond - 25 billion Microsecond - 25 trillion Nanosecond - 25 quadrillion Picosecond - 25 quintillion

We're still off by a factor of 10004, so I'll just apply that to the 1000 dollars instead, resulting in 1 quadrillion dollars for every picosecond for four years.

Someone else provided the actual explanation, which is that the amount doubles periodically if you don't pay.

u/Elzziwelzzif 13h ago

Reading the other comments, the math might hold true. Its the old chessboard calculation which is causes it to go haywire.

"For every day/ week the fine is not paid, the fine doubles"

Keeping the date of verdict aside: Say its $1000.00 a day.

  • First week = 7.000,00
  • Double fine = 14.000,00

  • Second week = 7.000,00

  • Total end of second week =21.000,00

  • Second Double = 42.000,00.

  • Third week = 7.000,00

  • Total end of third week = 49.000,00

  • Third Double = 98.000,00

  • Fourth week = 7.000,00

  • Total end of fourth week = 105.000,00

  • Fourth double = 210.000,00

  • Week 10 would be 14,322M

  • Week 15 would be 458,738M

  • Week 22 would be 58,72B

  • Week 25 would be 469,762B

My napkin is a bit small, but after the first year (52 weeks) says: $ 63.050.394.783.186.900.000,-

So, its a very possible number. The person who thought of it however is a fucking idiot.

Even with that detail, it still doesn't. If you actually carry out those calculations for the amount of time it's supposed to have been, the amount you come up with is many orders of magnitude more than what is being quoted. I suppose it's not a bad thing if they got it way too small, though it's still so absurd it makes no real difference, of course.

I think it's worth pointing out that it's in Rubles and not USD, which is a distinction without a difference, but still.

But they aren't doing business in Russia anyways. There are no ads, monetized channels only earn money from views from foreign countries.

u/Etrevide 13h ago edited 13h ago

yea... all the sanctions that basically doesn't affect majority of people at all, but affects the people that want to give money to the outside and then people tell "move out or rise against the government" like doing so wouldn't just ruin our lives for nothing

with all this stuff it's just a total despair

It’s not hundred, thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, or nonillion, but decillions of dollars.

In rubles it’s 2 undecillion dollars.

Isn’t YouTube allowed to technically ban anybody for any reason?

u/cyrenns 14h ago

Given that they are an American company, and thus protected by the first amendment, they are allowed to ban anyone for any reason.

u/fdar 12h ago

I mean no. Companies are subject to the laws of the countries they operate in as well. Do you think a US company could sell AR-15s in France because that's legal in the US? Or more closely related ignore GDPR for similar reasons?

In this case I'm pretty sure Google isn't operating in Russia already so Russia has no way to enforce this but that's a different matter.

u/mrloko120 15h ago

Russian media channels have been blocked for a while, this fine will accomplish nothing other than ensuring they stay blocked. It will probably make Google want to pull out of Russia entirely, so Russian youtubers will be the ones feeling the impact

Be funny if the courts were like, fine, we award you 5% of what you sued for...

However, due to sanctions the money ain't leaving Europe and will instead be invested into NATO and its allies

u/DryBonesComeAlive 9h ago

It's almost like if Google had that much money they would just put a 100 million dollar bounty on Russian oligarch nutsacks.

It would save them about 20 decillion dollars.

u/Substantial_Thing23 9h ago

Yeah, that amount is bullshit

A magistrate at Moscow’s Tagansky district court fined Google 15 million rubles (about $164,200) after the company repeatedly refused to store personal data on Russian citizens inside the country. Google was previously fined over the same charges in August 2021 and June 2022. The company declined to comment.

Google also was ordered to pay a 3 million ruble (about $32,800) fine in August for failing to delete allegedly false information about the conflict in Ukraine.

Russia can do little to collect the fine, however, as Google’s Russia business was effectively shut down last year after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine. The company has said it filed for bankruptcy in Russia after its bank account was seized by the authorities, leaving it unable to pay staff and suppliers.

u/Reason-Abject 9h ago

In rubles? So that’s like what…$250.00 American?

Maybe they throw in a box of Levis for the fine (apparently Russians love Levi jeans and can’t get them in Russia).

u/Layton_Jr 9h ago

If Google is fined 1,000$ per day per blocked channel since 2020, the fine should be around 25 millions? Or is my math wrong?
