Books has become e-books.
To some extent
but have you been to a hip bookstore recently? They exist, and are very much alive.

My comment from another thread: https://startrek.website/comment/16491624
tl;dr: tiny production, would be astonished if they got $6k out of it, and that's not counting time, props, transportation, etc.
Compensation for engineers in the Bay area will average much higher than $200k, and that's not counting benefits (medical, etc.). So cost to the company will be way higher than 200k/employee.
For a project that has hardware, there will be large expenses associated with that
custom silicon has huge setup costs, for example.
There's so such thing as starter "discard"! Add water, oil, sugar, salt, baking soda and you've got some vegan sourdough pancakes. Or use any of a number of other recipes
but no sense in wasting it.
They specified 1 significant figure
at that level it's the same.
This is the same argument used for blaming the cost of college on government loans for education, for $$$ housing prices in cities that offer low income subsidies, for food prices due to food stamps...
That's because you're thinking of trucks used first and foremost for heavy duty "truck stuff." That is not the only market for trucks, at least in the US: https://www.thedrive.com/news/26907/you-dont-need-a-full-size-pickup-truck-you-need-a-cowboy-costume
According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.
0-60mph is mostly deprecated these days in favor of 0-62mph, which just so happens to be the same as 0-100km/h
what a coincidence!
A six/seven figure donation for these companies is...nothing. While I'm all for grabbing my face eating leopard popcorn, I'm not sure I'd say this falls under that category. This amount of money doesn't feel like trying to buy favors
more like "please don't specifically target us with your wrath of incompetence."
Once I pulled an HDD out of an old TiVo for a desktop build (Gentoo, I think
this was a while back). I called the machine "voit" because it was an anagram of TiVo
but I particularly liked that it's a homophone for Voight, of Voight-Kampff fame.
