Everything can be hacked, but there is a big difference in difficulity. In the realm of cryptocurrencies we have Bitcoin that hasn’t been hacked even once yet. However people keep giving their wallet keys to other people or just have them in insecure places. This is how every single Bitcoin theft has happened. The wallet keys were stolen.

This story here is more of that. People gave their wallet keys to this BadgerDAO organization. The organization protected the keys with beginner level security "expertise" and thus they were stolen.

To me the more interesting story is that Vince Zampella is the founder of Infinity Ward, the original makers of Call of Duty. He is the dude who worked on the first classic Call of Duty games, all the way up to Modern Warfare & Modern Warfare 2.

Back then the storyline was Call of Duty vs Battlefield, with fans arguing which is the better shooter. Thus now it’s rather ironic that Vince has ended up in charge of Battlefield.

The current ARM situation might indeed be just fine for them. However if Nvidia wants to invest heavily into ARM chips, then this purchase would be a way to secure that foundation. Because otherwise some other company might buy ARM and then start the squeeze on Nvidia.

It’s in reference to Google constantly showing popups like the one in this article telling you how much better Chrome is and how you should switch. These popups appear on Google websites, including search and GMail.

The hashrate will probably be halved.

They can’t keep the price down. As you lower the price, the GPU becomes profitable for miners. Thus, as they are forced to sell the card at a higher price anyway (to ensure that miners don’t just buy all of them) they have an opportunity to add more value. Adding more RAM is the easy choice, because RAM is useful for gaming and video production, but totally useless for mining.
