So, our entire digestive system is technically the "outside" of out bodies. Our immune system keeps most little breaches that might happen under control. There also a healthy supply of "good" bacteria inside of us, that usually helps keep "bad" bacteria from taking hold.

The goal of those wildly inaccurate ads is simply to get the person to click the ad and download the game, and hope they'll stick around and keep playing the game even if it's nothing like the ad depicted it to be.

The goal of mobile game ads is to get a new player who will spend some average amount that is less than it costs on average to get a new user.

Cost to get user < Revenue per user = profit

They're discs that store and read data using pits and lasers. The main difference is that BluRay uses a blue laser instead of a red laser, or bluray uses a higher frequency/shorter wavelength of light than DVD for its laser. This allows a BluRay to hold a lot more data than a DVD. Why a DVD only has a SD resolution movie on it but a BluRay can have an HD to 4K movie on it.

Edit: Added Higher frequency and Shorter wavelength.

A video that is very "in demand" will distributed it to data centers and "peers" across the world. Peers meaning YouTube/Google makes agreements with ISPs to host popular videos on their servers which are as close as possible the end users, this applies to pretty much all big streaming services.

Streaming doesn't require the server to send the whole video at once, it only needs to send a steady stream of little chunks of the video to each individual viewer every so often.

With a compiled language, the human friendly code that gets written is compiled in advance before the code can be run, which may take some significant amount of time depending on complexity, into generally faster and more efficient "machine code" which is what computers actually understand.

Interpreted languages don't get compiled, their code gets translated on the fly between the human friendly code and and what the machine can understand. The advantage of interpreted languages is that they're generally easier and you can test and work out bugs more quickly without spending time compiling.

As a trade off, the interpreted languages can take significantly longer to run the same functions. Which isn't a problem on the small scale, but and add up a lot with more complexity.
