Clearly he doesn't. Do you?
- arcturus17 6y agoI live in Madrid, which is a fairly clean city compared to other places I’ve lived. We have loads of roaches, especially in the summer. We also have absurd 4G and Wifi coverage. I can only connect to the 5ghz Wifi band at home because 2.4 is saturated by the neighbors. There are still roaches where I live... Funny thing, in the house where I grew up, I saw the same phenomenon as GP. We had constant roach infestations in the kitchen, and after years of different chemical treatments, they were suddenly gone for good. Always attributed it to an effective chemical or a random biological process. Still see them in other places in the city nevertheless. Why are we even entertaining this on Hacker News though? Show me the papers, GP’s anecdotes or mine are worthless.
- partyboat1586 6y agoBetter to counter an anecdote with an opposite anecdote than to downvote or shutdown. To some people being shut down proves they are right. Countering like you did provides a natural way to show the weakness of anecdotes.
- pas 6y agoI live in a city with WiFi and 4G (and 5G in a few spots) and roaches. I just checked the 5G map. I saw roaches where there's 5G. So if it makes some difference, it's not much.
