Challenging Mayor de Blasio Over Times Square Plazas
The idea of ripping up the pedestrian spaces and forcing people to dodge traffic again runs headlong into a policy to improve safety.Cities need red light districts.
Managing them when they cannot be publicly recognized is the problem.
I do not have a solution.
Attempts at public management are political death.
Los Vegas keeps the houses out of town and still has trouble.

Bill Cunningham | It Bag
A molded rubber bag, designed by Robert Verdi and the Great Bag Co., mixes style details from the Birkin and Kelly bags from Hermès and is a hit of the summer.The need is obvious.
It is fascinating that gender stereotyping has collapsed.
Irony is dominant in this molded design.

A Lawyer Quit Her Job to Start a Climate Museum in New York
Miranda Massie says describes the environment as a civil rights issue on which the survival of the species depends.Miranda Massie is welcome to try.
I am unconvinced that a museum is the right medium of public education.
Museums are temples of minor gods.
This does not fit with an objectionable process we must attempt to limit.

As War Sows Chaos on Ground, It Can Lead to Cleaner Air, Study Says
A paper published in the journal Science found that Middle Eastern cities involved in wars or other crises showed fewer pollutants in the air.
"Steven Cohen,
executive director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University,
warned against seeing the decline in some pollutants as any kind of
positive sign. “War is always an ecological catastrophe,” he said. Even
if some air pollutants are reduced as economic activities decline, he
added, dangerous chemicals in the land and water “are likely on the rise
due to the use of modern weapons of war.”
Dr. Lelieveld agreed. “This is not the ‘silver lining of war,’ ” he said. “It’s just an indicator of what’s going on.”"12

Your Brain, Your Disease, Your Self
What kind of neural damage threatens your identity — and why?"What we found runs counter to what many people might expect, and certainly what most psychologists would have guessed: The single most powerful predictor of identity change was not disruption to memory — but rather disruption to the moral faculty."
"Morality" is learned.
It is thus a subset of memory.
The article and the study it derives from are products of bad modeling of personality.

Vague Disclosures by Highflying Mutual Funds May Put Investors in Peril
Leveraged loans, a kind of obligation held by floating-rate income funds, carry risks that are often not fully disclosed to investors."It’s unclear what, if anything, the S.E.C. will do about these lapses. Perhaps the funds will fix them on their own. But it seems obvious that investors in leveraged loan funds deserve better disclosures about their risks."
Take her advice. Run from these funds.
My internet is still down.
