That’s offensive to the innovation happening in crypto to be honest, compared to the lack of it in the non-relational database world

Tell HN: My CEO wants to shut down the intern program and use Devin instead

This summer was supposed to be our startup's first intern program ever, but I overheard my (non-technical) CEO mention the other day that she wanted to potentially axe the program (rescinding the 2 accepted offers so far) and just use Devin instead. Not sure how serious or not the statement was, but there weren't any laughs that followed and I thought the comment was in extremely poor taste. Just wanted to rant.

Username checks out

I can agree with you on all points above, but why is it more important to keep freedom from tyranny instead of keeping our environment healthy? If climate change ruins the earth what’s the point of freedom anyway?

How is proof is stake wasted effort? What human energy is required there?

Ask HN: Is crypto still bad for the environment?

I remember lots of discussion on how crypto was heavily impacting climate change a few years ago, is that still the case? Was it debunked? I don't see any consensus after some google-searching
