mircea_popescu: they do this thing where they give it @2 cents/kwh to old geezers etc. so some very passible welfare sort of hting
mircea_popescu: then again romania has excellent infrastructure, lot of hidro, lot of nuclear.
mircea_popescu: well i tell you, in general a student chick is either living in a four to the room dorm or else five-six chicks in an apartment, here. giving her her own place is a larger step up than her education would afford.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't think it's significantly different, tbh.
mircea_popescu: in short : breat is a poor comparison point (partly because most women being able to bake bread keeps bakeries honest)
mircea_popescu: well... what's a gallon of milk there ? it's about 7 bucks here by now.
mircea_popescu: with drugs, 90% of the population ends up costing more than it's worth, and half of what by such a wide margin even salami is a poor use.
mircea_popescu: mno. normally the population is more or less balanced, ever the marginally worthless can pull their own weight. get a job, pay the rent.
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if a teenager in 10 actually ever had actual drugs of any kind.
mircea_popescu: leave aside if they actually had been stealing your trash for the past 5 months.
mircea_popescu: yeah, except until the cops ransack your place and find 5 sets of opened similar packages cause your gf can't be bothered to take out the trash
mircea_popescu: the judge will warn you and let you off if its your first time
mircea_popescu: and for the cost of a drink you can send someon to bed.
mircea_popescu: if you're a dweeby teenaged male with no social circle this won't stick,
mircea_popescu: so your defense hinges on the jury buying the theory someone is stalking you.
mircea_popescu: they do, but people don't hate their neighbours inter-city.
mircea_popescu: someone with no prior contact sends you some lsd, you probably bought it.
mircea_popescu: good for you, but still, anon dork wants judge to believe someone hates him enough to blow 10k on it ?
mircea_popescu: all the elements of plausible deniability as reddit imagines them.
mircea_popescu: hahaha i never heard of it, but hey, whatever floats teh boat.
mircea_popescu: just as long as the original fingerprint quoted in the warrant signs for it.
mircea_popescu: it merely says X can't come and say here, i have an assigment by nubbins, on his warrant, so please accept MY pgp as a valid signature to redeem shares.
mircea_popescu: o. you're reading the "no third party assignments" to mean you can't have someone else's X ?
mircea_popescu: you can redeem just fine, you just can't redeem to your own account if you don't have one
mircea_popescu: you notify s.mg that X mpex account will be taking Y share delivery on this here warrant of yours.
mircea_popescu: so on paper 1 it says "we don't handle third party assignments" and on paper 2 it says "this is for buying directly"
mircea_popescu: it's your damned business to sort it out, and s.mg isn't getting involved.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the idea is that if you decide to trade it to x, and x to y, and y to zee,
mircea_popescu: quote the contrary, mpex processes assignments between the holder and s.mg
mircea_popescu: so yeah, s.mg would at no point be processing assignments of the warrant between its holder and mpex.
mircea_popescu: well... he's not about to take her on a date, so it's moot.
mircea_popescu: this strikes me sort-of like the girl going to the gynecologist who says "don't let anyone stick his thing in there for two weeks", at which point she replies "are you anyone ?!"
mircea_popescu: and i suppose mpex would be a 3rd party except it seems moot ? what's the case, mpex wants to buy your warrant outside of itself ?
mircea_popescu: this separation is actually one of the best things bitcoin is doing, even if few people had so far teh mental penetration to realise it.
mircea_popescu: just like the receiver gets no say on whether he receives or not.
mircea_popescu: because bitcoin payments can not be refused by the receiver, it logically follows that any published address will be treated exactly as the owner describes.
