I've emailed Microsoft Investor Relations to clarify what they meant and why they didn't just say "percent" if they meant "percent". But if it had been 16 percent, they'd have been yelling it from the rooftops, and they haven't been.

if you look through the "venture capital" category, you'll see a few where I start going off on this topic. I blame the AI bubble on these bozos specifically.

I have been corrected - this is a coding unit in an engineering degree. Vibe bridge-building.

 

In a gesture blending art, technology and homage to innovation, the city of Lugano, Switzerland, has unveiled a striking statue celebrating the anonymity of the mysterious creator of Buttcoin.

The grand reveal took place at the third annual Plan Nocoin Forum, with the sleekly designed figure aiming to capture Buttcoin’s enigmatic legacy.

At the unveiling, the Mayor of Lugano, Kill Hamster, lauded the statue as a symbol of the city’s bold embrace of fiat progress, underscoring Lugano’s rise as a premier hub for actual money.

The sculpture honours the far-reaching impact of Buttcoin on the global financial landscape.

The artist, Buttcoin Thread, says “the sculpture shows the Butt from all possible angles, and vibrates with such energy that it can barely stay fixed in this plane of existence.”

By paying tribute to Buttcoin, Lugano not only honours the past but also paves the way for future generations to pursue breakthroughs in actual money you can spend on things.
