You mean $100B in cash. Yes - it's obvious that there are bad practices at work here - in particular no strict static analysis. I agree there's little excuse

You mean $100B in cash.
Yes - it's obvious that there are bad practices at work here - in particular no strict static analysis. I agree there's little excuse for not adding machine processes that could have helped.
But adding human processes costs time and agility, and as you point out, money cannot replace these.
- ballard 13y agoBritish million = American billion = 10^9 MM is used to denote an American million = 10^6
- omh 13y agoAre you sure? The old 'British Billion' was 10^12, but even that is rarely used any more. I've never seen an 'M' suffix used to mean anything other than 10^6.
- rdl 13y agoM is widely used as "thousand" in specialized contexts like "CPM" and "RPM" within the advertising/accounting space.
- Toucan 13y agoI don't think that's right. 10^6 is a million in both languages. 10^9 used to be a milliard in British English but is no longer used. It is now referred to as a billion. 10^12 used to be a billion in British English but is now referred to as a trillion.
