I’m going to set up a desk and work out at a parking spot for a couple hours to show that parking real estate can be used for better purposes.
Wish me luck.
France produces 70% of its electricity from Nuclear and is planning more reactors.
As a result, air pollution and carbon emissions are way down when compared to France's neighbors.
This is the test drive. Planning on moving to Embarcadero / City Hall next Monday or Tuesday.
Respond if you are interested in getting a nearly free desk for a couple hours!
I wrote about how the Micromobility industry won't evolve like Uber and Lyft.
Prepare for there being a lot of scooter and bike companies, not one monopoly...
Solana can be hard to wrap your head around but once you do, it's pretty simple!
So I wrote an explainer of how the Solana Programming Model works targeted towards people with some software experience.
Here it is:
And a summary 👇
I used to think that every innovation needed to be a ~tech~ innovation.
But so many products today are culture innovations.
@SubstackInc
didn't create new tech for paid newsletters. They made it culturally OK to start a paid newsletter.
Congrats to
@atherenergy
who raised $50m to build the future of electric mopeds on India!
I visited
@tarunsmehta
and their showroom a week ago. Very impressive.
They're like the Tesla of India. Except their version of a premium price point is only ~$2k
It's shocking how much better for the world MIT is than the Ivies
- no legacy admissions
- makes lecture content available online for free
- more math + science, less BS
- no law school
(I'm obviously very biased.)
Scammers on Solana have been creating sites promising that you enter a raffle.
The scam site tries to fool a wallet by delegating all of your tokens so they can transfer them later.

I would love to see a VC firm that donates a high % of returns to non-profits.
The non-profit VC would attract a ton of funding and get into hot deals.
I'm in SF and I woke up with a 100ºF and coughing. I think I may have COVID-19 since I traveled to New Mexico via SFO last weekend.
It's pretty mild and my roommates are helping me out.
I'm planning on self-quarantining in my room for the next 14 days.
Today we're launching
@nftoken_so
— a simple, cheap NFT standard for Solana.
The best part: it's already live. You can create an NFT in a few seconds and then see it in your Glow wallet.
Lime is threatening to sue Scooter Map and asked Apple to take SM down. Bullying tactics 😢

I'll be in LA for the next couple weeks then I'm headed to NYC. 😍

is **not** about affordability in San Francisco.
It's about how we can **better use our public spaces**.
Some affordable cities still have dangerous, unpleasant streets.
Today, we launched the next iteration of
@LumaHQ
— a community home that brings together events, resources, and a member directory.
We've been working with a beta group of educators, professional groups, and spiritual leaders.
Ch-ch-check it out!
Today, you can use Scooter Map to find and unlock scooters to ride!
Stop fumbling around with multiple apps and spend more time scootering 🛴🛴
Would love *your* feedback on Product Hunt:
Chernobyl - 31 people die from initial blast
San Francisco - on pace for 49 deaths from vehicle crashes this year
Can we stop dramatizing nuclear accidents and focus on saving the lives of our friends and family who dare to walk outside?
The first group WePark event happens tomorrow!!
Table, chairs, WiFi all provided. Come by 😅😁
When: Tomorrow, Monday 12pm - 4pm
Where: SF City Hall Plaza
What: You having a great time in a parking spot

Daniel I personally responded to you pretty quickly and I thought we were working thru this together?
For reference, the next screen looks like this — we try to explicitly state how much you are paying and that payments are non-refundable.
A bit disappointed you are trying to
Are you throwing public / semi-public events over Zoom?
I made a little RSVP website generator: paste in your Zoom info and get a nice shareable event webpage.
Comment / DM me and I’ll get you in the beta.
Solana Pay lets you buy things with Solana instead of using credit card / debit card.
💰 much cheaper tx fees than credit cards
✨ easy loyalty rewards and discounts
🦁 programmatically airdrop your best customers NFTs
Now we just need to get more merchants on board :)
I've been training to run faster and today I finally broke 4:50 in the mile!
I ran a 4:48 on the East River in NYC 🏙️.
It's been super fun. For the next thing, I'm going to try and qualify for the NYC Marathon!
Just landed in NYC! Ubering to my place now.
I’m going to see how many days I can live here without driving.
In SF, I could do a week or two. In LA, barely a day.

It feels like there's a new scooter company every day. How does this happen?
I wrote an overview of how to start a scooter company:

Solana Pay lets people claim airdrops, buy things in person, and redeem event tickets.

We started this to help a yoga instructor friend who was laid when quarantine started.
We've hosted 1000s of events, but we haven't seen "How enterprise CEOs can stay funny on Twitter"... Want to host it?
On my walk home I met Maurice a.k.a Mo Gamer.
He sets up his van in a parking spot with Nintendo 64, GameCube, TV screens and folding chairs.
People in the area can hang outside, play games, and leave a tip.
Breaking news:
@sfpublicworks
moves Clinton Park boulders back onto sidewalk after they were rolled off last night. The controversial rocks were placed in an effort to block homeless, drug dealers. More coverage soon
The current Solana NFT spec leads to bugs, vulnerabilities, and slowness.
So I wrote a new spec that is faster, safer, and better for devs.

The wallet experience on MetaMask / Phantom is broken.
Your "Activity" is a list of transactions hashes. Then when you click on one, they just link you out to Etherscan / Solscan...
We're excited to give you more understanding of what's actually going on.
Blockchains are for machines, but wallets should be for humans.
Glow beautifully and clearly renders your transactions, so you always know what's going on.

Bird just announced Bird Platform — allowing independent operators to buy branded scooters at cost, an admin website, and access to their charging / ops marketplace.
Then Bird will take 20% fee on each ride.
This is super interesting.

No! You should only go to a hospital if you really need to. If you can stay home, you should stay home.
At a hospital, you'll be taking up another bed and have a chance to get infected w/ other diseases and to infect others.
Would love to see a calendar app with this workflow:
- take screenshot of meeting request (text, email)
- open screenshot in calendar
- calendar parses screenshot context and populates event

Scooter economics. Scooter economics.
Depending on who you ask, they are either very good or very, very bad.
There's truth to both sides. Shift a few levers and scooter companies will turn a cash cow into a leaking piggy bank.
I made a fun calculator:
