I came across a functioning coder today asking if a kilogram was 1000 or 1024 grams.

Yes they did ask, yes they verified, yes they accepted 1000 grams.

I swear ten thousand years in the future some fucker will 'oops, black hole!' 'cos they began in comp sci and learned kilo = 1024 first and NOBODY WILL CATCH IT. Humanity will be WIPED OUT because YOU LOT KEPT THIS SHIT UP.

@NanoRaptor conversation never to have at your cartel meeting for $1024 please.
Is that with or without the plastic wrap? Send them to pick up a metric crescent wrench.
Is that the actual or nominal kilo?
