in every codebase i've worked on, there is a shameful file that looks like
second = 1000, minute = second * 60, hour = minute * 60
behold, the end of needing that file: the Temporal.Duration API (now supported in http://val.town)
second = 1000, minute = second * 60, hour = minute * 60

it's really like zillow for private company stock, and has a similar vibe of increasing dopamine but the reality of the numbers is limited at best, the uncertainty bands around their day-by-day valuations of private companies are surely gigantic
