We’re starting to see annual subscriptions roll in, all paid entirely in crypto. Thanks to @eleniloop and @jeffcang for all the help getting set up.

I’m rooting for this to succeed because I’d like to see high-speed rail transit become a thing in the States. https://apnews.com/article/high-speed-train-vegas-los-angeles-brightline-595913ff2fa3d9001fb89bfab4e6c4d2

Tesla’s profit decrease is not actually that concerning imo. I’m no Tesla fanboy by any stretch, but macroeconomic issues seem to have driven the profit decrease more than anything else. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/23/tesla-profits-drop-55-company-says-ev-sales-under-pressure-from-hybrids/

CarPlay is by far the best infotainment experience I’ve seen in a car. But as this article alludes, it’s a risky bet and I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple stops supporting it within the decade. https://www.theturnsignalblog.com/apples-risky-bet-on-carplay/

I can’t believe Zoho was founded in 1996 and has over 100 million customers and is still relatively unknown. I probably only know about them from when I was running Graphite Docs. https://restofworld.org/2024/zoho-google-workspace-alternative-africa/

This comment from a BookScan analyst on a Substack article about book sales is fascinating https://open.substack.com/pub/countercraft/p/no-most-books-dont-sell-only-a-dozen?utm_source=direct&utm_campaign=comment-list-share-cta&utm_medium=web&comments=true&commentId=8883524

Just started Masters of Doom. I’ve read so much about idSoftware lately that I wanted to hold off on this one, but now is the time.

In honor of Ghost planning to become even more open with activity pub support, here’s an oldie but a goodie. A storage adapter for Ghost that leverages IPFS. https://github.com/PinataCloud/pinata-ghost-storage

I’ve been a fan of Ghost since they launched and have used them multiple times for my writing in the past. Pretty interesting to see them planning to support activity pub. https://activitypub.ghost.org/

I’m not sure how practical it actually is, but pretty interesting to think about using a vector db as your only db if you’re a small dev that already has to use a vector db for your product. https://zilliz.com/blog/using-your-vector-database-as-JSON-or-relational-datastore

As a kid I split time between Arizona with my mom and California with my dad. I remember being absolutely amazed when I saw my first grunion run one year in San Diego https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240419-californias-beaches-are-home-to-wild-fish-orgies-during-the-grunion-run

The romantic notion of having your book published by The Big 5 is a pipe dream. But isn’t that how all creative endeavors work? Long shots that you take out of passion and hope for the best? https://www.elysian.press/p/no-one-buys-books
