I really like base-2 prefixes in writing, e.g. 1 KiB, 2 MiB, 3 GiB and so on. It's way more explicit.
However, SI units are k M G and so on. Switching between lowercase k and uppercase Ki keeps tripping me up.
It's common in technology to deal with incredibly large numbers, so you eventually develop an intuition for different orders of magnitude.
Perhaps we should use the same prefixes elsewhere? E.g. the world has 7.5 gigapeople and US national debt is 22 petadollars.
Firefox increasingly supports -webkit CSS prefixes: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Compatibility/Mobile/Non_Standard_Compatibility (which is why vendors no longer like prefixes)
