MIT’s New Desalination System Produces Freshwater That Is “Cheaper Than Tap Water”
(scitechdaily.com)
MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids the salt-clogging issues of other designs. Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun. In a paper pub...
There's been a lot of noise about systemd recently, and I would like to filter out that. I'm somewhat interested in linux in general, so I don't think filtering on the linux tag would be a suitable work-around.
Doing a "comments and stories" search for "systemd" gives about twice as many hits as ...
