Out of curiousity, why did you google that phrase?
I'm going to guess it was "that's a cool phrase and I've never heard it before"
I would have guessed, "because it's an egregiously mixed metaphor"

Making a physical product that may have to be tailored to varying specific requirements could be difficult, meric above mentioned technology / skill transfer where an assumed solution may not have an optimal effect, or be even be disastrous - I'm sure they're honing an experience set and training and maintenance manual. Sewage works may be a tangential example. Many sewage treatment plants basically work by sifting h…

Step 1, find 0% humidity, where are you going todo that where people are living? Strawman.
I believe that my argument remains a solid, semi-logical rebuttal (it does depend on some physical intuition) to the claim that we can fully trust the original article's claim that the effectiveness of the device depends only on the temperature differential at the location where it is deployed. At the very least, the claim needs to be demonstrated in the field or explained by some documented physical phenomenon befor…
Say that instead. Arguing that it only works in high humidity environments while using 0% humidity as your basis isn't sound.

#84Seems like something that just needs to be 100% open source, with designs freely available to the public. If it works so well, it really ought to be utterly free to construct, since it will have such a significant impact on peoples lives to be able to have such access to fresh water.
So whats the problem here? Isn't this science free, already?
