Is this astroturfing? I thought the term referred to fake grass roots movements (Astro Turf being the brand name for that fake grass you sometimes see). As a previous commenter said, this is more like grey/blackhat SEO.

Will there ever be a consumer offering along these lines? (i.e. i am travelling around and don't want to have to get travel SIMs in every different country I visit).

It may well be an emergency, but inconveniencing [1][2] the very people you are attempting to persuade (the voting public) is not a strategy that is likely to work. In my opinion it will make them deaf to the underlying message (Although, I

Every time Purism is mentioned on HN there are always people chiming in with negativity around how it's not open or secure or free enough, based on some unachievable metric of those things and with an side dose of utopian fantasizing.

I think my comment deserved to be down voted because it is of poor quality for HN (not the sentiment but the way it was expressed). However I will keep it here as a prediction of future events.

All the issues the author talks about are valid, however, the idea that no one warns you about them is wrong. If you do even the most basic research into Event Sourcing you will find people warning of these trade offs (foremost amongst them
