        They had to pick a period where 32 bits would last long enough. If they had started with 64 bits, they could have used a start of time much further back.

  Most of that time is irrelevant to me. Let’s just start it in 1970. And I need more precision, so can we do milliseconds instead of seconds?

  This would go great with my idea of everyone having a GUID instead of a name.

  Maybe where you’re sitting. But my frame of reference has had slightly different time dilation than yours.
