The last technique, regulation-light unincorporated areas, are hard to find. Unfortunately there are few places in the world that give this level of freedom. Only certain US states and Canadian territories have most of these freedoms.... This is why Texas, Missouri, and Wyoming are the best places in the world to build a Freestead, as they can utilize all 5 of these Freestead techniques to their fullest extent.
Why Permissionless Infrastructure Wins, by Etherelize
In 1995, much of the technology establishment was convinced the Internet would lose to proprietary corporate networks. They were wrong, and Ethereum’s critics today are likely to be wrong for similar reasons. The highest profile example was Bill Gates, who predicted in his book The Road Ahead that the future of digital commerce would not run on the open Internet but on proprietary networks owned by companies like Microsoft and Oracle.
Brilliant article. Read it all. Ethereum is like the internet, except you can invest in it.

Looking to tint my Camry in Florida, and visited the most-recommended (on Reddit for my city) installers in my area. I started with a 3M dealer, who wanted $750, including the windshield. I liked a Llumar dealer where it was only $600 for CTX. I was planning to go with the latter.
Then I compared the stats, and 3M has higher TSERs, which I gather is the most important number. Now, I'm trying to choose between those options (I want a cooler car and don't care about privacy):
Llumar CTX, $600, probably Air 80 windshield (43% TSER), CTX 30 for side windows (49% TSER; minimum 28% VLT in Florida; was thinking of using the same for all side windows for a consistent look on my White Camry), and CTX 15 for rear (53% TSER; I've heard cutting glare from headlights will help, and visibility back there isn't important for safety).
vs.
3M, $750. Probably 70% VLT windshield (51% TSER), 30% side (60% TSER), and 15% back (63% TSER).
The latter is expensive, and Llumar seems to get the most recommendations here, but those 3M TSERs are higher.
Or, a third option at the Llumar dealer: IRX for $700: 30 VLT side windows 56% TSER, 15 back window 59% TSER, and the same Air 80 for windshield (43% TSER).
Llumar seems to be the most-recommended brand around here, but 3M's stats just look better. Am I missing something? Which would you choose?
