With a fine of only $100,000 Norway could destroy Facebook's & Instagram's business model relying on personalized ads.

😁

For those who are dumb like I am, the fine is one hundred thousand per day and not one hundred per day (the decimal threw me off)

I did not get what you meant at first but yeah most of us europeans us “,” as a decimal and “.” to make bigger numbers more readable

Is this is how it is taught in schools as well? Doesn’t the scientific community use the symbols in the order, i.e, “.” for decimals and “,” to separate thousands, etc.

Most international standards say that either “.” Or “,” can be used as a decimal separator and a space should be used as a thousands seperator.

If people want to use thousands separators (and they should, if they want to not-use prefixes like kilo, Mega) they should use ’ so for example 100’000 $. Zero potential for misunderstandings.

I’m a big fan of just using spaces, so $100 000
