wow guys, erlang mosk is donating $480k of UV water filtration systems to schools in flint michigan


you know, flint.. with the massive issues with lead contamination.

quote:

The UV water purification method within the filtration systems will disinfect lead and bacteria coming from water pipes, allowing students in Flint to safely drink from school water fountains once more.

There's probably some chance another insider starts poasting. There was the guy who claimed to have a friend who was going out to audit a factory and I don't think he has poasted any more here

You cannot remove lead by UV, it must be filtered out with fine filter like osmosis. I assume that is being done.

no, i meant the part where you’re glad they died to advance a petty grievance, that’s the part they’d object to, and i further don’t think they’d be too keen on your usual deliberate obtuseness as an excuse either

I think the right thing to say might be,

"I hope that if the misdesign of the door releases contributed to the death of those kids that it draws attention to the terrible engineering of Tesla vehicles, especially the disregard for safety displayed by making exiting in an emergency significantly harder than exiting under normal circumstances."

hmm, this is less fun than participating in a tone-policing slapfight, maybe I should delete the whole post

other people did post with the conditional "if it did contribute" which is fine, the point was beeps original post was "i hope it did", which is the problem

it's one thing to say you'd like to see redress for a tragic accident after the facts are known, it's another to actively hope for the cause beforehand

People died and the best that can come out of it is improvements to the safety of the vehicle they died in.

If they died in a vehicle with safety issues so obvious that basic human intellect dictates that driving it in a dangerous fashion was even more stupid that unsafe driving alone then that doesn't lessen the tragedy, but it adds a certain irony to the claims of said vehicles "safe design" philosophy that has been used as an excuse for totaling the vehicle in a walking speed collision.

Personally I think these kinds of deaths are sad but inevitable. The whole issue of battery safety was swept under the rug in the light of a vehicle with no exhaust. And just like the people who died after X-raying themselves a lethal dose as a party gag in the ealry 20th century, dying to a battery fire in a tesla will always at least be partially your fault if you drive a 100kwh bomb on wheels in an unsafe manner additionally to the obvious issues of a car that doesn't have a door handle for styling reasons.

i think combat theory just meant "don't come back at me saying 'but the vehicle is unsafe and they were driving it unsafely' because that's an awful thing to say". even if they were being dumbass teenagers a car made in the past couple years should not roast you alive because you hit a guardrail or tree or whatever

every source I can find, including the official City of Flint press release, mentions only the UV filtration and notes that it will "disinfect lead and bacteria"

no mention of osmosis, and it doesn't seem to be a standard feature of UV filtration

i'm guessing uv filtration is cheaper and effectiveness was never a factor in the decision

It's probably UV + filtration because UV alone isn't enough anyway.

Thanks. I lost it half way. Not my intention to ramble about drivers especially after a lethal collision... It's just mind boggling to me that people go out and treat these cars as if they were regular vehicles without an engine noise without once thinking about how fuckin dangerous the accumulated power is.
