Four links I liked

• #Bitcoin an even bigger waste of energy than previously thought. Some people claim that running the currency (if it is one) right now use up as much energy as running Denmark. After careful consideration, I prefer Denmark.
• A long, thoughtful essay on Brexit, written from a semi-Canadian perspective. Well worth your time.
• Another little Brexit gem: “did the SNP’s mixed signals encourage those for independence to vote for #Brexit”? I’m not convinced (have a look at the confidence intervals), but it is an interesting piece.
• An act of sheer (political) beauty: German artists build “Holocaust memorial” outside far-right politician’s house
