That's 1 million kroner per day, just fyi
thanks for the catch - my doubts still stand though. Meta will likely drag this through the appeal processes for as long as it takes.
That's quite a lot considering there are only 5 million people in Norway.
is that 94 USD or 94000 USD?
Not sure if you’re trolling but . and , are used reversed of us Americans in Europe.
It doesn’t seem to be in the UK: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/Manchester.html
or in Ireland: https://www.spiritmotorgroup.ie/premium/used-vehicles/
I’d say it’s language-based. In English, 10.000 means 10. In many other European languages, it means 10000. In some languages I speak, large numbers are separated with a comma every fourth numeral.
In any case, it’s a good idea to follow the conventions of the language you’re using if your goal is to communicate with all of its speakers and not just a subgroup.

That's why nowadays the recommended thousands separator is the blank space, to prevent this kind of confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Digit_groupi...
By the way, honest question:
> In some languages I speak, large numbers are separated with a comma every fourth numeral.
Which languages are those? I live in Japan, and whereas the spoken language separates numbers by myriads (as do most other languages in East Asia), numbers are usually written down with commas every 3 digits, which is really confusing...

According to some of my friends with kids there, Japanese public schools used to teach putting a comma every 3rd digit but for the past few years have been using a comma every 4th digit.
That has to be a pretty recent development, because I have lived here for 5 years and I have never seen a number written like that.
Sometimes you will see numbers written with the corresponding kanji after every four digits, like 1億2345万6789, which I like because it quickly tells you the magnitude, but it is not very common.

I’m sure there’s exceptions. Come on, are you really telling me if you saw the number 10.000 you would think $10? 10.00 or 10,00 fine. But 10.000?
I wouldn’t assume it’s currency if there weren’t a dollar sign, but yes. To me, 10.0, 10.00, 10.000 and 10.0000 all look the same and I wouldn’t hesitate to see them as 10. The only difference is that more zeroes implies more precision.
10,00 looks like a typo, either of 10,000 or of 10.00, but if I saw it surrounded by a bunch of German text, I’d know it meant 10.

I couldn't tell if the extra zero was a typo or not. People say stuff like "$94.00" a lot
...I wasn't trolling.

Meta is ordered by a district court to pay Norwegian crowns 1 million (USD ~94.000) (edit: per day) for not offering an opt-in model regarding behaviorbased ads. Not sure if Meta is sufficiently intimidated by this to change its ways though.
