Her worth is far beyond that of rubies.”

It is @base internal Hack Week this week! I am building an app that will pick and buy Based Meme Coins every day on my behalf. Following the Smart Wallet Session Keys integration guide was super easy. https://smart-wallet-docs-git-conner-session-keys-coinbase-vercel.vercel.app/guides/session-keys

Geopolitics

One meta-note on the situation, is that in my timeline I have seen exactly zero non-western people defending Durov's arrest, but quite a few western people.

Definitely don't want to say that they don't exist (after all, my timeline is biased just like anyone's), just this is what my sample is so far.

IMO this is another example of the decoupling of liberalism and westernism that https://x.com/MacaesBruno often talks about.

Warpcast Experiment: Boosts! 

A boost gives your account more distribution for 24 hours. Each day, we'll give out 10 boosts to accounts that: 

- Have < 10k followers 
- Have casted recently 
- Have not received a boost recently
- Post bangers (manual judgement)

The surprising thing I believe now after coming back as CEO of YC:

The size of your round doesn’t matter. Having 70 mo runway gives you a lot of shots but it doesn’t get you product market fit.

The thing that matters: you must be a great builder solving a real problem.

Never gets old seeing these minivan stickers

if you got a basename today:

- you were here on day one
- you are one of the first builders
- you are bringing the world onchain

where we go from here is up to us, together.

i dont understand

how did Kamala, within one week, propose all of this:

- federal price controls
- increase in corporate taxes (shitting on small businesses)
- 25% unrealized gains taxes (for very rich people)
- highest cap gains taxes in history

hubs

Please upgrade Hubble to 1.14.4 which implements storage changes defined in https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/191

We'll min version on Monday at the latest so all hubs will be ready for Aug 28 when storage units were originally scheduled to expire.

If you are manually calculating storage, you'll need to update your logic. You may find the new helper functions implemented in the hub-nodejs package useful https://github.com/farcasterxyz/hub-monorepo/blob/main/packages/core/src/limits.ts

Storage extension is going out 

Please update your hubs to 1.4.4 before Monday to avoid any disruption
