One of my primary news sources is just listening to my 7-year-olds at work. I found out that multiple West Island public elementary schools had broken heating systems today, causing students to be fully bundled up during lessons. Sound cost-efficient enough, @hydroquebec?

@scorn_hector @Will_Bartle @Iaculus @AaronBastani Hydro Quebec is a government owned monopoly providing all of province’s electricity affordably as well as selling power in other jurisdictions. Important to remember that there are many models of public ownership and old-style top-down is not necessarily the best for 2021.

@MrBounceAlot @DoctorLex @jp_koning @hydroquebec I know that they need to solve some meaningless math problem and prove that they did the "Job" (really isn't a job) to get rewards. They keep the same ledger and always agree on it. Difficulty of the thing to solve gets higher when more miners are working and vice versa.
