  • Thank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:

    As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:

    Private posts from public accounts
    
    Posts on deleted or suspended accounts
    
    Unanswered asks
    
    Private answers
    
    Explicit posts
    
    Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.) 
    





  • I’ve heard a lot about Palestinians using solar to power several electronic devices in Gaza but it was primarily from Arab media sources like Al Jazeera. While this was on the much more corporate and mainstream news it was easy to miss without actively looking for it. You bring up a good point and I wonder if there’s more use of solar energy happening there, especially in dire conditions, that we’re missing out on as it’s not typically covered by major news sources. Hopefully we’ll be reading more stories like this in the future.


  • It says the technology is similar but doesn’t get into any specific comparison so I don’t exactly read it the same way. This is a very brief and basic article that may not answer all your questions. I’m sure there is more to come.

    It does go on to say:

    According to the study, the device is more efficient than other existing atmospheric water generators because it uses a “novel rotating operational strategy, in which one module works in the desorption, while the others work in the adsorption simultaneously … to keep the device harvesting water continuously.”

    The technology could also be used for purposes ranging from dehumidification to agriculture irrigation to thermal management for electronic devices.

    It also mentions similar devices being used in areas such as Sand Branch Texas outside of Dallas. Your question is import and and while I can’t answer it as thoroughly as I’d like I imagine these issues were in consideration when working on this and whether or not they’ll be successful is something we’ll find out soon.

    Would be interested in hearing more from the community.
