alt Hacker NewsFood doesn't come from remote mountainous areas. Farm fields may not have cell service but living way out there isn't required even for farmers. I grew up on a farm so it's funny when people on the internet try to educate me about farms as if I've never heard of them.

We should still be supportive of people who want to live in the mountains. I'd like to think that we as a society enable people to live how they want to live. Given that technology has allowed us to deploy broadband internet access pretty much anywhere, there is no good reason to deny them of e.g. web-based banking just because of some stupid SMS confirmation. Hardware 2FA keys are cryptographically superior AND usable by people in the mountains.

I must be imagining the farms that I pass in the mountains in the middle of nowhere when I go backpacking. Surely your argument isn't, "My farm was here, so it's impossible for other farms to be in different locales"?
