  • Ya, I’m hyperbolizing a little bit… But not really. The 13th amendment is what outlawed black slavery in the United States… But also explicitly allows slavery in the United States:

    Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

    Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.











  • Well… The original meme is in kbps (kilobits per second or kilobaud). The quoted speeds for the tech seem to line up with kbps and not kB/s, so I think this is the intent.

    8 bits = 1 byte, so in this specific example it was very easy to convert 8 kbps to 1 kB/s to determine that it would take 8 seconds to download an 8 kB file.

    Maybe secret300 meant a 8 kilobit file, they did use lowercase ‘b’ afterall 🙂.
