I don't think they care about the budget. They probably care more about impressions and clicks. So, just use an adblocker, to lower their ad impressions.

Don't such satellites have a major flaw, that they revolve? Considering that earth is spherical, those satellites can only monitor some half of the earth each moment, given their sensors have such high FOV.

What would happen if all users start using adblockers, or the value of ads starts to fall?

I do not support the current, ad-driven, model of the internet. However, since the costs of subscriptions are increasing, while salaries are going downhill, it is apparent that ads is (seemingly) the only viable choice for now.

In the economy we currently live in, all of world's wealth is slowly moving to ad networks.

Even donation driven models are currently straggling. Just look at the fediverse. The people donating to their instances are not enough to sustain them.

Capitalism has absolutely destroyed everything. The greed of stakeholders has milked most people. At some point people will stop buying the useless things or services promoted via advertisements, just because they will not be able to afford them. Then, no subscriptions, no point of advertising, no donators, no people hosting fediverse instances, just world hunger.

Judging by the colors, this is a new photo. It's not yellow.

So, you guys never had to live in a badly designed apartment, because you couldn't afford a better one.

I have been living like this in Greece for about 3 years.

Solution:

collapsed inline media

Explanation:

  1. in order for the straight lines to be 90 deg with the circles, they must be radii of circles with same central point

  2. the length of an arc is defined as c = r * θ (where r is the radius, and θ is the angle)

  3. we define the inner circle with radius r₁ and its arc L₁ = r₁ * θ₁

  4. we define the outer circle with radius r₂ and its arc L₂ = r₂ * θ₂

  5. Because of (1), θ₁ + θ₂ = 2π

  6. To create the shape, L₁ = L₂ = r₂ - r₁

If you start replacing and solving, you will get a 2nd grade quadratic, which has a positive and a negative solution. The positive solution is that magic number.

Could have avoided "!" altogether, and send "For you I have 720"

You can install and run v3.1 in DosBox. In case anyone wanted to keep using it.
