What is the current best webcam out there for zoom meetings (assuming you're not using a DSLR)? Anyone using continuity camera as their daily driver?

It’s insane how anti-progress forces have managed to infiltrate every part of SF. The latest madness is the SF bike coalition coming out against the *only* cars that are pretty much guaranteed not to kill cyclists. https://sfbike.org/news/the-sf-bicycle-coalitions-stance-on-robotaxi-expansion/

Six Seasons is by far the best cookbook I've ever bought. Recipes aren't hard and are exceptionally delicious.

I think the joint Satya/Zuckerberg interview today in Stratechery cements Ben Thomson as the new king of tech media (if he wasn't there already).
