1. 600M IPs attached to the [Kansas] home were 10 orders of magnitude
higher than at any other location
X. 17M IPs located in Pav’s home in Ashburn.
Am I missing something obvious? 600M is 10 orders of magnitude higher than 17M?
- giaour 11y agoI bet the home in the #2 slot has 60M IPs associated with it. The author is just misusing the term.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y ago2. location here has probably 60M associated IPs
- dfc 11y agoThat does not play well with my concept of orders of magnitude.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoWhat is your concept?

- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoOh I just misread the sentence. Of course it should be one order of magnitude.

- cellularmitosis 11y agoLooks like the author corrected the article.
- dfc 11y agoWhere is the correction? I just grabbed the article from two different IPs and it says the same thing. Do you think that 600M is 10 orders of magnitude larger than 17M?
