Maybe that could be a legitimate source of revenue for free-to-play games, if it was a consensual agreement. Gamers typically have high-performance hardware, so why not use excess capability while playing a game, as long as it doesn't interfere with gameplay. Sure, cryptocurrency is generally not worth the electricity it wastes to produce. However, it may be a better alternative to ads or traditional payment schemes.
I feel like anyone who is afraid of "3D-printed guns" has never: (1) used a 3D printer; (2) shot a firearm. Regulating things without understanding them has always been the hip thing to do, but this is silly, because it will never be prevented through regulation.
How are these walls reinforced? Typically you need rebar in a concrete structure to prevent it to becoming ruble - especially in area that has any seismic activity.
This, 100%. From the images, it looks like they are building 0.5-1m thick walls with internal structure that emulate the structure of cinder blocks (maybe 30% infill). They are also embedding some thin wire as they lay the concrete, but I don't see how that's going to do much, especially since it's not affixed in any way to the other layers. For a three story house, as shown in their renderings, that seems somewhat suspect.
Maybe the Netherlands have loose building codes.
