A local start, given Netflix has real estate in LA: using these skills to develop better consumption services for unreliable internet users toward developing better tools for distance learning for LAUSD. Lots of students are falling behind thanks to issues with poor unreliable connectivity due to the expenses associated with having broad band internet. In march, 17% of LAUSD families had no internet at home. Today, more have bought internet plans, but given the job lossess suffered by the working poor, these are probably the cheapest internet packages available. Given how JS heavy these online education sites are, this is a poor experience for students who are already dealing with the stresses associated with being on the bottom of the economic totem pole in a high cost of living city. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-09-21/online-l... |

Might as well suggest that HFT finance firms enter a business of providing fast and reliable internet service to rural areas, because their employees have an extremely high expertise in providing bleeding-edge insanely responsive internet service from the exchanges to their offices (not kidding at all, they legitimately drilled through mountain ranges[0] and set up microwave towers just to get an edge over competitors[1])
