mircea_popescu: inasmuch as bitcoin protocol happily handles half a bitcoin
mircea_popescu: the satoshi name is not documented, other than through ancient convention

mircea_popescu: someone should make an ipo of a totally insane thing and just keep posting wall of text after wall of text of completely rambling, nonsensically, perhaps machine-generated text whenever someone says something
mircea_popescu: didn't they call a general mobilisation nobody showed ?
mircea_popescu: seems to have started jan 2013, then taken a 11 month break to december
mircea_popescu: JEFFREY SCOTT OWNBY. Ex BFL VP ?! you gotta be kidding me.
mircea_popescu: "The controversial owner of MPEx is" o look, i r controversial nao.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> a master machinist eats very well even today. << yes, but he's not in a union is he.

mircea_popescu: basically if you try to fly a boeing behind another you'll just fall
mircea_popescu: in order for it to generate enough force to keep all those tons in the air it has to have a certain density and flow pattern

mircea_popescu: there are occasionally accidents where a car follows a leader too close and ends up losing contact with the ground because of the disrupton in airflow

mircea_popescu: in fact, it's unsafe for them to be even within one kilometer of each other.
mircea_popescu: isthisreallyreal you need to stfu and read now, before you go on everyone's ignore.
