I’m failing to understand why we would need decimal units at all. Whats the point of them? And why do the original units havr to change name to something as ridiculous as “Gibibyte” while the unnecessary decimal units get the binary’s old name?
Reject MiB, call it “MB” like it originally was.
If that’s Bitcoin then this would actually give you, at the current exchange rate of BTC to USD:
0.000000000002557444% USD. If you got that card once every milliscond, you would need 31 years to have 2.5$.
I doubt you’d be rich with one card except lol.
What part is wrong then? That’s pretty nuch what they say in the article.
If I understand this correctly, they are only using it to track terrorists who actively participated in a terror attack, right? What’s the big deal then…?
Why would I use spaces if I use tabs? Also, it seemd like a huge waste of time hitting the space bar so many times…
I see two issues with that:
No liability. Got your food 2 hours late? Better yet: Didn’t get your food at all? Guess you lost that money.
Pricing. If drivers are able to make their own prices, they will probably start undercutting each other, resulting in very low fees for the drivers. Also, it would be very intransparent to userd how much the delivery will cost.
There is a split in gen Z: The ones who didnt use a computer growing up and those that did have one (and also the time to mess around with it). But I feel like you cant group them together.
Except gen Z didn’t grow up with just an iPad, at least not the majority. A good amount of people had (or have) access to a laptop or family computer. Thats why I say that the gap has just gotten wider. Some people, eg. the ones that just had an iPad and all they ever did was social media and mobile games - sure, they know very little about computers. But the ones that did use computers (and thats not a small amount) do really know how to use it - which is not limited to the more or less office-focused skills of older generations.
I dont think this is the case. I feel like there just is a much wider gap because some people grow up without a computer (they may have one but not see the use of it) and others do. I bet you’d be surprised both at how non-tech-savvy and at how tech-savvy some genZ-ers are.
I have had people asking me for help because their “keyboard was capitalizing everything” (caps lock was on) or being amazed by touch typing. But there are also many people who are (at least somewhat) tech-savvy and it’s not so few people either.
… that you CANT see through walls? Seems like a downgrade to me…
Well, thank you for taking the time to write this detailed explanation!
Windows and MacOS use the abbriviation “MB” referring to the binary units, correct? How come that these big OS’s use another unit than these large international bodies recognize?
On a side note, I’ve always found it weird why HDDs or SSDs are/were sold with 128GB, 265GB, 512GB etc. when they are referring to decimal units.
