On: Fallacies of distributed systems

Even if they're swapped, the maths doesn't work out - the ratio of squares is 1:42 while the ratio of latencies is 1:1500.

You're off by a factor of 1000: 150 ms / 100 ns = 150e-3 / 100e-9 = 1.5 million. So it's even worse!

I am aware just didn’t want to correct the person correcting the inaccuracies. I suppose I could have given the red squares a unit value in the illustration.

Definitely true! Good eye. Drawing out 1500 squares is tough.
