gollark: Anyway, by perpetuating the "GB is base 2" thing, you aid the confusion which allows HDD makers to ship mildly less storage than they otherwise might, and which is generally kind of irritating if you need precise units in things.
gollark: If we amputate 8 fingers from all humans by force, we will finally enter a golden age of binary prefixes.
gollark: Specialized binary prefixes let you use base 2 if you want to for some reason but use the more consistent and easier to manipulate base 10.
gollark: Programmers like base 2, but all other stuff is mostly done in base 10 and the prefixes were designed around that.
gollark: Because it's the standard for other units and we use base 10?
