so that's 3.9T since March 4th. Doubling. Not "order of magnitude"
- gumby 6y agoThis is a site for computer nerds, and to them doubling is an order of magnitude. (Well at least to the subset who think in binary. For those who prefer hex, even a factor of 10 won’t do it).
- r00fus 6y agoOrder of magnitude = 10. Binary order of magnitude = twofold = 2x. Mixing terminology as it suits oneself is considered deceitful and/or manipulative. Making excuses for someone who does this and doesn't restate/recant is also bad form.

- base698 6y agoMaybe he was talking rate? 2T seems off the charts if you're talking the normal events, looks like 2008 made it jump 1T to 2T in 2 months. This jumping 2T in 1 week is a little off the charts.
