It's shocking to me that I recognize every person on this diagram except for the very center.

Calculating the digits of pi seems like a poor benchmark for comparing various languages in the context of backend web application performance. Even the GitHub readme points out the benchmark is entirely focused on floating point performance.

How exactly do Democrats block movement back to the left? What does it even mean to move "back" to the left when the goals of the left are things we literally have never had before?

All circles are flat.

Yes, it's equally as unrealistic as leaving money idle for 532 yrs.

The only point I was making was that multiplying $5,000 a day by so many years is a silly comparison as it ignores the dominating factors to building wealth.

Billionaires shouldn't exist but also they don't exist because they stuff X dollars under their mattress every day.

Not really with that amount of time. Suppose you put away $1,000 a year for 532 years, at 3% you still end up with $225 billion.

The deposits are completely dwarfed by the compounding interest. If you only start with $1,000 and add nothing else but let that original $1,000 compound at 4% you'll have over $1 trillion.

Yeah, I had to go down to 3% for it to even make sense.

But if you made just 3% interest on your money as you deposit $1,825,000 annually, over 532 years, you'd end up having $410 trillion dollars or more than 2,000 bezos.

If only this meant the removal of the annoying tiles for games that show up in the app above everything else (often using up the entire screen) even though I've never tapped on them once.

I don't want your games Netflix. I barely want your shows.

What? The first ordinal you start counting at doesn't change the total count, and alternatively the last item would be indexed at 2 if you used 0-based indexing.

Rectangular prisms have 6 sides though.
