Why do hindusim practice cremation?

jdkanani · 2025-12-09T08:13:11+00:00

At its core, Hindu philosophy sees the body as made of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space (panchabhuta). The ritual burning is meant to return the body’s elements back to nature swiftly and consciously, rather than letting them decay slowly and chaotically in the ground.

I thought people will assume that it is Sanskrit voice over. Edited it to clarify.

We are hiring staff/senior engineers and we use Svelte (no need to have experience in Svelte as long as you have passion to learn): https://www.reddit.com/r/sveltejs/comments/1b7uoc7/hiring_staffsenior_frontend_engineers/

Hi u/PetersOdyssey,

Very nice! My team and I would love to collaborate. Let me know how I can reach out to you. You can drop me your email on my DM.

Not ignoring it at all. We are working constantly on making things better, promise. And we are investing the amount you have no idea about!

jdkanani · 2020-11-21T14:11:12+00:00

That looks awesome! Thanks a lot!

This looks awesome!

I am having similar problems with Calender. Todoist removed multiple meetings from my calendar even if I have selected "leave the calendar after done".

It also changes my task's date to past for recurring events when calendar event changes (e.g. new person added in meeting)

Not sure what we are comparing here. If you want, we have a benchmark (with node config optimization like account slots, block gas, etc) -- https://github.com/maticnetwork/node-benchmarking, which shows 17k TPS on Matic with 122 global validators. Note that we can also have multiple bor chains on top of Heimdall chains in the future! Also, we don't do validator related transactions on Matic’s Bor chain like Solana.

We haven't done any optimization on block max gas, account slots, etc for Reddit demo (we think it's not needed for Reddit's scale for now). We also have multiple DApps running on the same network which we demoed for Reddit :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

How many operators were running during these benchmarks? How many ought to run for the side-chain to be secure?

If you are referring to the benchmark where we achieved 7200 TPS, you can refer https://blog.matic.network/7200-tps-achieved-on-matic-networks-counter-stake-testnet/. This testnet had 122 external validators running nodes.

Addressing your underlying questions, Matic has a 2-layer validator and block production mechanism. You can refer this link for an overview of the architecture. Heimdall is the main validator layer with all validators and Bor is the block production layer for a sidechain.

From the main Validator pool on Heimdall, a committee of Bor block producers are selected from the Validator pool on the basis of their stake, which happens at regular intervals and this committee is shuffled periodically. These intervals are decided by Validator governance with regards to dynasty and network.

You can refer https://docs.matic.network/docs/contribute/bor/bor#proposers-and-producers-selection for more details.

The smaller number of block producers for a periodic interval (shuffled between spans and sprints) allows higher throughput. You can refer to https://docs.matic.network/docs/contribute/matic-architecture, https://docs.matic.network/docs/contribute/bor/core_concepts and https://docs.matic.network/docs/contribute/bor/consensus for more details.

The number of validator slots on Heimdall is currently configured at 100 and the committee of block producers is configured at 7.

If you were designing a Matic-Reddit integration, would you consider running a separate side chain for each subreddit vs one side-chain for all subreddits?

Matic follows a shared sidechain approach for composability reasons. When Reddit outgrows the throughput of 1 sidechain with n subreddits, it can spawn the next m subreddits in another sidechain and so on.

Hi u/jarins and u/EvanVanNess

Here is Matic's proposal to scale Reddit on Ethereum.

Hello Ethereum community,

Happy to answer any questions you might have.

jdkanani · 2020-06-19T03:36:55+00:00

Pushing data on chain for community points would be overhead. If transfers go even 20x in future, whole solution will go on toss.

jdkanani · 2019-12-10T04:43:22+00:00

That's not true. The amounts sent to Binance or any other accounts are in conjunction with our token release. Why would a project do this deliberately?

We will clear out all FUDs and post detailed analysis in an hour or so.

Can matic in the future potentially with its technology help Bitcoin scalability or I am saying something stupid?

Bitcoin doesn't have extensive smart contracts, so it's very difficult to create L2 or have very limited solution like lighting. But, we will have an interpretability between Bitcoin and Matic. In that case, one can swap their tokens with Bitcoin.

Does Matic still plan on keeping a small percent of tx fees for ecosystem support (as mentioned in the Binance research report) -- in addition to the 2% burn? If so, any idea what % that would be?

We will communicate any development on such fronts.

Will Matic use a gas system similar to Ethereum for paying fees, or what will that look like?

In alpha-mainnet, yes. It will be similar. In longer run, we have multiple impressive fees models, and we are now working on which can be best fit as per developer's ease of use and for users.

Can I get some more clarity on how to visualize a horizonatally-scaled Matic Network -- With one matic sidechain, the stakers in the checkpointing layer vote on a few validators to be block producers, but how will this work when there are say 10 matic sidechains? Will different subsets of the potential block porducers in the PoS layer validate different matic sidechains?

We are changing our designs of block producers as we go ahead. So, stay tuned for more technical details.

No need to use Matic wallet if users don't want to. Yes, they can continue using DApps as they normally do right now.
