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.

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

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 satellite

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.

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.

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.

Amazon and people who have been hit by this seem to disagree with you: "Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance, from the time an instance is launched until it is terminated or stopped. Each partial instance-hour consum

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 expen

SpaceX own the first stage. You pay to get your payload delivered to a specified orbit. You don't actually buy the rocket. It's like flying, you buy a ticket, not the plane.

The stage had lateral velocity when it landed plus it came down at an angle, so one or two legs took all the energy of the impact and collapsed. They are not designed to support a beating like that.

They are low profile since they can be folded against the body of a missile/rocket. They also have good aerodynamic properties at hypersonic speeds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_fin for more info
