The biggest case against crypto seems to be proof of work is inherently bad, because wasting power is bad for the environment. This completely side steps the fact that the entire world is moving towards carbon neutrality in electricity generation, in which case power consumption will no longer be an environmental issue. I'm yet to hear a convincing argument against proof of work under the assumption of carbon neutral electricity generation.

Honestly, any ODFM system is so incredibly resilient they will work over nearly any medium. I've tested powerline ethernet airgapped, and it still faster than the WiFI on the embedded system I was testing.

The drug policy is well known, but the speed traps is new and amusing. It reminds me of the horn activated red lights in India. Genius idea.
