You could probably deploy most of the courseware using Netlify for a few grand per year. Then you could put that 50 billion in an endowment. I don’t really know how those work, but I’m guessing with a 5% return you’re making 2.5B/year giving you an extra 25k teachers at $100K each. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugaku_(supercomputer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugaku_(supercomputer) Update: frontier [1] is faster and cheaper but my point stands.
