Yes, it does mean throwing your vote away under Hare RCV. People who ranked Begich second had their vote thrown away when he was eliminated.

People who ranked Begich second had the vote for their #1 pick counted. A vote that is counted in the final contest of an election is not a vote "thrown away" even though the person they voted for lost.
