I think you are misreading that. They didn't "occur", because the hits weren't carried out. At least one, if not all the hits were contracted to an undercover FBI agent, which is how they caught him.

For some reason, one of my fondest childhood memories was using the ship debit card my parents gave me to buy many of those circle personal pan pizzas on the top deck of a carnival cruise. Cruise pizza is no joke!

It will actually be staked currency, not outstanding, and it's more than 51% because Eth2 is sharded (64 shards at the moment) and randomly selects committees to verify blocks, so you'd need to hold enough validators (each holding

Impossible's goal isn't to make food for vegetarians, it's to try to replace meat for meat-eaters by making the facsimile very close, the ultimate goal being about the environmental effects. Something like 70% of water usage

I was expecting the solution to be mirror your generated pages on IPFS ( https://ipfs.io ), so they just don't go away at all (as long as someone has them pinned). The proposed solution set seems extremely convoluted and don&

Sure except that's like trying to ban alcohol, and we all know how that worked out. It's far too easy to get your hands on, especially for criminals who are sufficiently motivated.

I keep re-reading my post and idk how it reads as a claim that Carmack is going to re-invent the field or something. All I'm saying is it's possible for him to become a player, just like you suggest.

This doesn't surprise me at all. He went on a week long cabin-in-the-middle-of-nowhere trip about a year ago to dive in to AI (that's all this guy needs to become pretty damn proficient). (edit: I'm not claiming he's a f

The things you all listed are possible pathways to the goal. All he said is he wants to start working toward the goal. This guy is serious business, he's never been one to spew BS. He's a real deal, no bullshit computer scientist
