A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Or 150 TB, for the correct way to write it.
Yeah but that isn't as impressive sounding.
Did you know the wayback machine saves 150,000,000,000,000 bytes worth of webpages every day?! If you stacked 150,000,000,000,000 bytes end to end, they would reach from earth to the moon and back SEVEN TIMES! That's enough bytes to fill 18 American football stadiums!
But how many Olympic sized pools? That's the only measurement I learned in school.
I can only tell you in dishwashers.
It’s 800k ford explorers
Can you convert that to bananas?
Nah never do that. The curve brings trig complexity into the equation. Bananas are used to measure curvy things. Like wheels, roads, and boobs.
My bad. I assumed the web has waves with how many people surf it daily.
Pfft, the wayback machine saves 1,200,000,000,000,000 bits every day! That's way more impressive then your piddly 150,000,000,000,000.
If you earned 100,000 bits every day since the first day the Earth existed, you wouldn't even be half way there today!
