I wouldn’t say so. In essence, every employee is paid to solve business problems.

This was the first I'd heard of Long Now, but upon reading the article, I had assumed the leading 0 was representative of the infinite continuum of 0's in-front. But all the repetitive 0's had been slimmed down to one, like :: in IPv6
