I have a cookbook (not a recipe book - there's a difference) from 50 years ago (with the latest edition being 2019) and it's amazing. No need to go for modern hipster recipes that don't teach you anything...

Exactly because you'd be the exception there's almost zero chance you'd ever get to that point. Most people simply don't have a need to try to become even more wealthy after a certain point.

Like, when all your needs and wants are met, and you still have plenty of money to live that kind of life for the rest of your life, and your family also has enough for a comfortable life... Most people prefer to have less stress, they work less or not at all, or you venture into stuff that maybe makes less money (or none) and you do it for other reasons like altruism or just having fun.

To want to be worth billions takes a completely different character, one that craves as much wealth or power as possible.

And if it doesn't find sources it can just make shit up! ;D

They do make excellent rubber duckies.

This is the way. (At least for a server)

Are they legal in any EU jurisdictions? I'd hope not.

Not to mention half of their TOS being illegal/unenforceable in the first place.

As someone who has implemented shopping carts, invoicing solutions and banking transactions I can assure you floats will be extremely painful for you.

A huge benefit of big decimals is that they don't allow you to make a mistake (as easily) as floats where imprecision just "creeps in".

The website generates a random value, your government signs a cert for that value. That's what makes it single use and zero trust.

MAS has activation for the 3 years (or maybe even 6) of the extended support too...

The fucked up part is nowadays third parties like banks or sometimes even governments make apps rely on Google services, so you can't use an ungoogled phone for stuff you actually need for life...

It's a bailout where the taxpayers actually get something back.

How is it legal to bail out whole banks or other large companies and not get anything in return?

Sure I can use my bank's website (and it's a shit experience) but they still want me to have their own app for authentication... Don't even offer anything else at this point.
