@kev The differemce between 1m and 1b is quite a lot. 1m seconds is 12 days, 1b is 32 years!

@kev indeed, that's why you don't put 1 billion files in the same directory. ever

@kev I would say that it is a very large number and a very small number at the same time...- 1 billion bytes is a gigabyte- Apple has a market cap of +- 2.5 trillion. 1 Billion will buy you a 0.04% stake in apple

@kev 1 billion is also interesting in regard to languages. In German "billion" is "Milliarde" and "trillion" is "Billion".

@kev > Spending £1 billion (or $)You're thinking about spending Fosstodon's revenues ? 😜 BTW, 1 billion € is the French Sea Ministry budget for a year, with 80% allocated to pay the retired seamen's pension's.https://www.budget.gouv.fr/budget-etat/ministere?ministere=45208

@kev It's more fun to flip it, one billion transistors 2nm each in a row will equal 2meters. That's about as long a normal person.
