The NumbersTess ran for 20 months and generated $12,172.33 in gross revenue. We paid out $18,000 in advanced royalties to artists and spent roughly $100/month on infrastructure (subsidized initially by Azure credits). So, Tess was a net loss: approximately $7,000 in direct costs—not counting the engineering, design, marketing, and product time invested.

。关于这个话题,heLLoword翻译提供了深入分析
“斯塔西”是德意志民主共和国国家安全部德语缩写STASI的音译。其总部当年占地面积很大,占了整个柏林的利希滕贝格街区,即10365街区,有三十八栋外观相似的建筑。当年这里戒备森严,有营房、武器库、扣留所、间谍培训基地,在这个总部里一万五千名职员通过一个秘密电话网络联结起来,彼此都是单线联系,互不知情。德国统一后,在原斯塔西办公区主楼建了一座斯塔西博物馆,供人参观,可以付费预约不同语言的专家讲解。我去那天,同一组参观者中男女老少都有,还有拄双拐和坐轮椅的人,由德国历史学者当讲解员。讲解员熟知这个机构的历史,对所有展品如数家珍,并回答各种提问。
