"The financial system is built up in layers of abstraction over some vast and unwieldy machinery... Sometimes the machinery pokes out a bit through the fabric of the abstraction." What does that remind me of? Maybe the concept of

By coincidence, I happen to have backups of /dev/null. Of every computer, every nanosecond since the beginning of the Universe. From this and all possible Universes.
