You could try xx.network. In my experience, however, it is especially difficult to let others use a new app in addition to all the other variants that people often already have.




A bit unrelated, but this submission was top 3 on HN and suddenly seems removed from the /news page?


This isn't the first time I've seen negative articles about cryptocurrencies suddenly drop down the rankings on this site:

To bad, would love to see more discussions on this.


Because HN is a centralized platform and its owner has a big stack in crypto. So such "regulation" is logical.

Ironically, isn't it?


The real irony is that each "crypto bad" thread on HN is clearly someone's paid shill. Because every time it reiterates the same extremely primitive misconceptions about crypto. Surely there are some real useful woke idiots on HN but I refuse believe that they constitute a voting majority.


That's right, edited the headline.


I don't have a high blood pressure but I do use a CPAP device for handling my spnea. Currently using a Philips Dreamstation. After it was diagnosed I immediately got the device and ever since my AHI dropped from about 50 to 2 or 3 an. I wonder if it is possible to ever get off this device. Would this breath exercises help in reducing the AHI?

Some actions which I have experienced in a positive way of reducing AHI: - Hiking / workout before going to bed - Quit consuming drinks containing alcohol.

Any other suggestions would be great and very welcome!


Obstructive sleep apnea is terrible. I am thin but have a malformed throat/jaw so I have OSA. Fortunately, mandibular advancement devices worked well for me but you can only use them for 8-10 years before they permanently adjust your bite. I used one religiously in my late 20's early 30's and it was great, but I have since moved to CPAP full time using nasal pillows and a chin strap off Amazon to keep my mouth closed. I also sleep on a 7deg straight incline (whole bed, not wedge). Putting all these things together works wonders for me. I am also APOE3 heterozygote so I am super fastidious about proper sleep hygiene to ensure lymphatic clearance of beta-amyloid plaque. The no alcohol before bed is super important, but I have a hard time holding to it--I'll get there eventually. Overall, there is nothing to do about it. The only surgical options are terrible and the new electrostimulatory devices are promising but new and therefore long-term effects are unknown. I hope we reach a point where there is a "cure", but for me it's doubtful.


Hello there I actually have a Phillips DreamStation Auto BiPAP Hum Dom (DSX700H11), thats connected to the DreamStation Hum Core Pack DOM (DSXHCP), that I’m currently trying to find a new home for. It was my fathers, he recently past an the machine cost us a small fortune because at the time he had no INS. Anyways if anyone is interested please contact my via Email. My Gmail is the exact same as my user name on this site. I appreciate any feedback as far as where else I might been able to recoup some of my money spent as well as help someone that may not have the right resources to set one through there INS or what not. Again that’s, and sorry to interrupt your conversation! Benenati2323
