Adobe’s new iOS camera app created by the creator of the Google Pixel’s cameras, Mark Levoy, brings me back a decade to an underpowered DSLR.
Pics from (beta) Project Indigo are punchy & resolution is meh (most come out 9-12MP), so the result are photos you’d find in a “Summer NYC 2009” photo album

"Looking at dollars and cents, highways are a poor economic investment. They occupy nearly 25% of U.S. urban land—an area equivalent to West Virginia and valued at $4.1 trillion—yet their supposed benefits don’t justify these enormous costs."
It's time to start removing highways. For real this time
Removing highways can breath new life into cities—so why are cities so slow to actually do it?

After smelling the gasoline fumes coming from leaf-blowers & seeing the workers without masks, this is even more of a reason for local municipalities to ban them. There’s no way inhaling those fumes are good for the workers. 😞

It grosses my out when people loudly proclaim how much they want to inflict gory violence on those who do bad things (or, in the case below, anyone with a mental illness, even if they never act on it).

Single-payer scaling is odd. You'd expect association w patient volume.
The VA has ~1.3K health care facilities, 400K employees & serves ~10M patients, with a $270B budget.
UK's NHS has same number of facilities, 3x the employees, & serves 5x the people with a total budget 20% lower.
