/*
 * TODO:
 *  The current solution is not optimal, as it's preferable to buy new nodes, even if upgrading is cheaper.
 * TODO:
 *  It may be helpful to calculate the money per second of each node on average, (total mps / total nodes) and compare
 *  it to the time it would take to purchase the next cheapest upgrade, and if the average mps is greater than the
 *  negative mps of the upgrade cost, then buy a new node.
 * TODO:
 *  Potential Ideas:
 *   Find a way to calculate how much mps an individual upgrade would give, and compare it to the average mps of the node.
 *   ns.hacknet.getNodeStats(0).production
 *   If the upgrade mps is greater than the average mps, then buy the upgrade.
 *   If the upgrade mps is less than the average mps, then buy a new node.
