Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince posted a graph to both Threads and Twitter today (Cloudflare’s communications VP Daniella Vallurupalli confirmed it was him) showing what he says is Twitter’s DNS ranking from January to now. It’s, uh, not a great story! Twitter alternative Threads, meanwhile, has been growing explosively — it’s less than three million from the 100 million user mark. It debuted on Wednesday.
I wonder, how many schools could you build for $44billion?
A random online estimator told me about 27m for a high school in the US. So like 1466 if you round that up to 30m for easier math.
They built a new elementary school down the road a few years ago. It cost $63 million, so about 700 of those.
Might make sense. Cost seems to be 250-800 per square foot depending on construction method and quality.
The example I looked at was for a two story 130,000 sqft I think. But some districts shovel all students into one mega school, so they would be huge and much more expensive.
