I think you misunderstood my point.

I'm not saying the price can't increase, I'm saying that dividing coins does not reduce scarcity.

Edit: Updated my original comment, turns out I'm the one who misunderstood your point. We actually agree.

Edit:

After rereading the article, I now understand that you were referring to this quote in the article : "The circulation number is not enough".

You are right, the fact that it's divisible render this point moot. I thought you were saying that dividing coins somehow decreased scarcity (Yes, I've seen many people argue that, believe it or not).

Original comment below :

I find it really mind boggling that some people don't understand that dividing a pizza into 100M pieces does not give you more pizza.

There is a purpose, but it's not HFT... It's orbital mechanics.

You can't have efficient coverage of the whole planet without launching all of your satellites at fairly high inclination (>45°). There will be more satellites per area near the poles and so that's why Starlink will be available at very high (and very low) latitude before it's available at the equator.

If you are late to work because your car won't start, say a bad starter or a dead fuel pump, would you really tell your boss that your car had a "catastrophic" failure?

Was it a malfunction?

Are you serious? The car decided to turn and hit a divider at 60mph without ever attempting to brake.

The reason the driver is required to pay full attention is because the software malfunctions in some cases.

I understand that, but it's not Spacex that lost the payload.

> Sources say the secretive Zuma satellite was lost by SpaceX

> As of right now reviews of the data indicate Falcon 9 performed nominally

Headline is in complete contradiction with the content of the article.

> Well, you are asking for perfect security.

No need to read the rest of your comment. I'm not biting.

Nobody is asking for perfect security.

We just expect a company that stores the highly personal information of hundreds of millions of people to have better security than that of a random blog site maintained by one guy in his basement.

> he should study biology

He has a master in systems biology from Harvard.

Dr. Jordan B Peterson a misogynist? Give me a break.

Because, as far as we can tell, everything that is part of our universe is governed by physics.

Our brains are part of this universe, and conciousness is dependent on our brains.

AWS charge by the hour, as soon as you power up an instance you are charged a full hour.

If you start and stop one instance 60 time in an hour, you will be charged 60 hours.

So scaling down on a dime and scalling right back up is more expensive than doing nothing.

You are getting downvoted because you look like someone full of themselves.

You admit you did nothing... and that your cofounder did everything... but you refuse to attribute the success of the startup to your cofounder and instead attribute the success to yourself.

You have the audacity to claim that the startup would have been worthless without you, but ignore the fact it wouldn't even exist without your cofounder.

Plus you quote yourself.
