Dang, I missed this by roughly an hour :(
I still remember when we were at 1.2 billion seconds. Time flies.
While we're still here: my favorite way to appreciate the scale of million and billion is with seconds: 1 million seconds is approximately 12 days, whereas as 1 billion seconds is approximately 31 years.

- Someone 3y agoEasier to remember: “pi seconds in a nanocentury”
- x-complexity 3y agoLucky you: When I finally got onto HN, it's already been 2 hrs since then :(
