Crispy snack under the rug is a new one for me but I like it

They might have stayed in the room the whole time. Or implemented one of many surveillance tools. Use your imaginator.

This makes me wonder if Hedera Hashgraph can support this use case...

Bitcoin is to crypto what the Model T is to automobiles - first to market with network momentum. Hedera is the Tesla Model 3 - it's built ground up from first principles to be the future trust layer of the internet, especially for finance/DeFi. It's aBFT consensus mechanism is built with KYC, real-time logging, can do 10^5 TPS vs Bitcoin and has finality in seconds across the network. Hedera is seven orders of magnitude (10^7) more efficient than Bitcoin in terms of transactions per kWh. 0.00017 kWh. It is the most energy-efficient "blockchain" (actually a DAhG) in the 'verse. Hedera is supported and adopted across industries at the enterprise level, has a burgeoning retail/hacker/creator community, and strong tokenomics. (Do your own research, not financial advice).

If you are genuinely interested in the future of trust, finance, technology, and care about sustainability.... you're probably already an HBAR hodler but if not, it's set to take over.

Check this comment out in two years.

Edit: To me, the main thrust of the article seems to be nothing new. I find bitcoin to be archaic and transactions can be so slow, ETH moreso. Unpredictable fees... etc. Sustainability-wise, though, the point is moot because it's not like BTC will disappear. But sustainable DLT tech can definitely work efficiently - carbon neutral to negative.

kfrzcode··on Ask HN: Fast data structures for disjoint intervals?
Could you separate out the data structure, i.e. keep your BTreeMap<u32, u32> for intervals, but add a Vec<u32> for available slots. Update both on insert/remove, then for range queries use the Vec<u32>?

Sorry if this is dumb I'm a> not a rustian and b> not really a computer scientist lol

Stock values can plummet.
kfrzcode··on Joe Biden stands down as Democratic candidate
The minimum age requirement was intended to provide a safeguard against the election of individuals who might lack the maturity and experience needed for such a significant role.

The maximum age is a different consideration.

kfrzcode··on Entering text in the terminal is complicated
friendly reminder to always check before you slurp code directly to bash from the internet. this may have broke my (admittedly totally non standard) configuration in weird ways I didn't care to document.
kfrzcode··on Asynchronous Consensus Without Trusted Setup or Public-Key Cryptography
Hedera Hashgraph uses Proof-of-Stake consensus, stake weighting, aBFT and minimum stake threshold with node staking delegation. Malicious nodes can lose delegators. If a node doesn't participate in consensus it won't receive rewards. I'm not aware of any consensus mechanisms invulnerable to Sybil attacks but I am simple pleb.

kfrzcode··on New theory suggests time is an illusion created by quantum entanglement
Honestly, I could not. But I can refer you to a perplexity recap. I know LLM content is not allowed, so I'll quote it as a source:

    Alan Watts, in his lecture "We as Organism," eloquently explores the interconnectedness of life and consciousness. He likens living beings to the flame of a candle, a continuous flow of energy and activity, rather than static entities. Watts argues that our consciousness often overlooks the constant, harmonious processes of life, focusing instead on potential disruptions. This myopic view leads us to identify with our ego, the troubleshooter, rather than our complete organism. He emphasizes that our bodies, like candle flames or whirlpools, are patterns of the cosmos, ever-changing yet recognizable. Watts challenges the common Western notion of life as a brief flash between two darknesses, urging us to see life as a complex, continuous dance, where there is no dancer, only the dancing.
kfrzcode··on New theory suggests time is an illusion created by quantum entanglement
There are many hours of his talks that range from silly to esoteric to outright transcendent, poetry-like explorations and observations of the human condition

Highly prescient as well.

kfrzcode··on New theory suggests time is an illusion created by quantum entanglement
I highly recommend listening to Alan Watts speak on this topic; his lecture "We as Organism" is quite compelling, if non-scientific

Not least in part to DHH setting the tone years ago; but yeah naming is hard enough without "creative branding"

kfrzcode··on OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk?
Self-defense is one of these God-given rights so I miss your point
kfrzcode··on OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk?
You do not seem to be embracing an open-minded discussion about the philosophy. Why beg the question? Are you admitting the State is the authority under which you are granted all privilege to live, love, and work? Who is to stop someone if you are being attacked, and your children are at risk? Do you wish you had a permit to allow you to breath?

"self-evident," means it requires no formal proof, as it is obvious to all with common sense and reason.

kfrzcode··on OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk?
The inalienable rights of mankind are not given to us or validated in a court of man's law. This is not new philosophy and comes from at least as far back as the Greeks.

Your quips will serve you well, I'm sure, in whatever microcosm you populate.

kfrzcode··on OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I mean to say there are certain rights we all have, simply for existing as humans. The right to breathe is a good example. No human, state, or otherwise has the moral high-ground to take these rights from us. They are not granted, or given, they are absolute and unequivocal.

It's not rhetoric, it's basic John Locke. Also your trust is an internal locus, and doesn't change the facts.

Free speech is a God-given right. It is innate and given to you and everyone at birth, after which it can only be suppressed but never revoked.

It would be supremely excellent if these companies embraced the Hedera Hashgraph as a truly sustainable, net-zero (or net-negative) approach to their carbon capture tokenization efforts:
