问HN:为什么运动中的数据不普遍以比特为单位进行测量?
静态数据(存储中的数据)通常以字节为单位进行可靠测量。而动态数据(传输中的数据)在大多数地方(如互联网服务提供商)以比特为单位测量,而在某些设备(如一些网络设备)中则以字节为单位测量。
对于动态数据来说,使用字节似乎与广泛接受的标准有所偏离。
也许有其合理的原因。为什么在通常期望使用比特的地方选择使用字节?(特别提到你,TrueNAS。)

Data at rest (as in storage) is reliably measured in bytes.
But data in motion is measured in bits in most places (ISPs) and bytes in some others (some networking gear).<p>For data in motion, bytes feels like a divergence from the widely accepted standard.<p>Maybe there are good reasons. Why are bytes chosen where bits are commonly expected? (Looking at you TrueNAS.)
