I honestly thought this was about the graphic API and resource management, I'm impressed by my own restricted imagination at this point.
When I read this, my first thought was "wow, this must have been really hard to anonymize, if he wasn't careful to remove/change enough details people could figure out who the garbage man is". Well, not so much... > So of course Sayyid was aware that I was researching and writing about him. At the same time, he is not literate, so there are serious limitations on his understanding of something like a New Yorker story…
It sounds like Sayyid knew about the story and it doesn't sound like Sayyid is trying to maintain any sort of anonymity, so what is the ethical problem you see here?

I was a Cairo or so further out of date than you were. :-)
I came to this article hoping to learn something about public policy, esp. regarding privacy. Whatever insights into those topics there might be are too buried in story for me to find them easily so I stopped reading.

1. Go to Africa.
2. Put an elephant in Cairo.
3. Start at the Cape of Good Hope.
4. Work northward in an orderly manner, traversing the continent alternately east and west,
5. During each traverse pass:
* Catch each animal seen.
* Compare each animal caught to a known elephant.
* Stop when a match is detected.
6. If you are in Cairo, then there are no elephants in Africa (other than the one you placed there).
