"We estimate the supply-side value of widely-used OSS is $4.15 billion, but that the demand-side value [replacement value for each firm that uses the software] is much larger at $8.8 trillion.

"Ein Film, in dem AfD-Aussteiger über ihre Erfahrungen berichten, wird im ARD-Programm vorgezogen, dies führt zu einer Programmänderung am heutigen Abend.

The distant future, the year is 2025. Your daytime job is moving Bejeweled tiles in the Metaverse.

You unlock your first paycheck. There's a flash of animated confetti and the number: 7.2 billion flooz. It's enough to buy yourself a brand new NFT. But which one to choose?
