Pardon me making a joke at your expense cornstalks, but...

Is this what a culture that AB tests 34 shades of blue looks like?

I think we can handle the conversion here in the HN comment section!

fwiw, when i saw the prefix and no commas i subconsciously assumed it was under 1000KB and read it wrong, until that comment made me take another look.

Ha, at first I thought "cornstalks" was a new slang reference for Googlers and was just over my head.

Well if it wasn’t, it certainly is now. Thanks for that typeformer.

Also please be aware not all locals use "." as thousands separator. About half of the world [0], including we here in Germany, actually uses the dot as decimal separator. Thus your number "4.414 MB" actually looks confusingly close like ~4.41 GB to me on first sight. An easy way to avoid this is to not rounding to three digits after your only dot or comma.

Sorry, I just copied and pasted the number as it appears on our benchmark page. :-)
