Environmental Answers for Data Centres and Cool Ray-Bans
Manage episode 364545392 series 1273210
Hi there!
On this episode, Nora rediscovers Modern Farmer, and this article on using the waste heat produced from server farms to provide needed heat for greenhouse farming. Researchers Jannah Frenzel and Sarah-Louise Ruder point out the potential benefits, but also note that this is not a magic bullet: there remain potential issues with agricultural labour practices and the environmental impact of greenhouses.
Cathi points out that iconic sunglasses company Ray-Ban is experimenting with a new line of concave glasses frames. Gimmick or cool new aesthetic?
Cathi also has an update on her ongoing hands-on experiments with text generators. This time, it's the Chrome extension Monica.
