I think so too, the problem is the reigning narrative right now is arbitrary redistribution of wealth because "capitalism has caused all ills in the world" - which isn't driven by sensible people like you or the parent poste

The gaping hole in your average communist's redistribution pipe dream is always supply and demand, which cannot be explained away - so you conveniently ignore it and think there's some magic reality where everyone is happy with li

I'm not nearly as successful as you but agree wholeheartedly - there's 8 billion humans on the planet with constantly refreshing interests, and it's absolutely preposterous to think this doesn't provide a recurring, incr

Airalo has decently cheap eSIMs, at least for the US (much cheaper than buying from the big telcos), and a part of the appeal is not having to hassle through buying and installing a chip. I can buy the Airalo eSIM before boarding the plane

Nice and hands on but feels very early 2000's. Nothing about cloud, AD, limited discourse about vulnerabilities which dominate (at least) the enterprise security space. Given how frequently the cybersecurity shortage is talked about on

I'm not disputing any of that, was just angry about someone offering information about how they found relief - and receiving a bunch of downvotes for it from trolls who didn't appreciate the method that worked for them.

then you should address your complaint to /u/nurettin and tell them they shouldn't be posting personal anecdotes about what works and what doesn't I don't think its in the spirit of the HN board but I guess we can e

The post I was responding to said this helped them cure sleep apnea, but it was being heavily downvoted. Almost as if people don't want to hear a health-based solution may work. You lashing out adds proof to this.

It's good. People need to become angry at the culprits who have rotted society with all kinds of destructive ideals. I'm not a SFer and not even American but can recognize these names as some of the most ideologically twisted hack
