Must try that place as soon as I can travel

I've always wondered wtf this term meant. This is a great article about these issues. And if you think it's a boring tech issue:

Bitcoin, as a system and community, largely seeks to maximize censorship resistance through decentralized transaction selection over any other goals. Sadly, today, bitcoin’s transaction selection is also highly centralized in the form of pools. Luckily, there’s no strong financial incentive for this, only historical technical reasons. While this allows us to massively re-decentralize bitcoin with only technical tweaks to the mining software stack, any financial disincentives to adopting such technology would absolutely destroy bitcoin’s long-term censorship resistance. So much so, that I’d argue that if we end up in the same place as ethereum is today, we should simply give up on bitcoin’s censorship resistance axiom as we simply will not achieve it in any reasonable way.

Oh course this is the next step. These people are control freaks.

• What happens if you are a woman are being chased by a violent boyfriend?
• What happens if you need to get your child to the hospital and there is no time for the ambulance?
• What happens if you need to speed up to avoid being hit by a reckless driver?
• What happens if someone hacks the database that communicates speed limits to the cars and creates gridlock?

I could go on. The incentives in a democracy lead to this type of bill being created. The stack of laws on the books is massive. So as a politician seeking to move up in status what do you do? Well you look at a problem or even perceived problem and propose a solution. It doesn't matter if your solution makes sense, has unintended consequences, or even makes any difference at all. What matters is that your voters think you care. That you are "doing something".

When election time comes up this dude will point to how he tried to make the roads safer because he cares about your kids. He will say other nonsense like this and gullible people gobble it up.

Its also beautiful for those that see the problems with his proposal. They can run against him saying how horrible this idea was. Or that he didn't get it passed. He's not effective.

The whole affair is tiresome.

And for those thinking, well this is California. California is just about 5-10 years ahead of most states in their stupid legislation. Your governments are not for the most part heading in the opposite direction. Conservatives will not save you. They are just... going the speed limit. They do not recognize that the problem is bigger than "the democrats". They are part of the same problem.
