Hi everyone,
I thought there was more than one flair that could have possibly be used for this article.
If someone have a better suggestion, please let me know.

I have used 'pirate' sites to archive tons of older material, you just gotta look for it. Thought that said, IA has a much bigger collection

It does not have lower interest rates then the IMF. The reason they couldn’t secure a loan from the IMF. The IMF required Sri Lanka to have a series of reforms to manage their deficit. The IMF knew they wouldn’t able to pay back without a series of reform. Only a predatory entity would lend to a government who can’t back, maybe it’s coincidence China got the 99 lease on the port.

Reply to Elon Musk's Neuralink Seeks Surgical Partner for Human Trials, Report Says | The FDA reportedly rejected the brain implant company's first human trial approval bid, but the billionaire's biotech venture has kept trying by Hrmbee
>Neuralink has been claiming human trials are just around the corner for years now. However, the company hasn’t yet gotten U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to put its brain computer interface (BCI) devices inside human skulls. In fact, it only filed its first application for such approval in 2022—despite Musk publicly claiming human tests were forthcoming in 2019, according to another Reuters investigation. The FDA denied the company’s first bid for human trial approval last year, according to that early March report. > >Yet that rejection doesn’t necessarily mean Neuralink won’t eventually reach the human trial stage on its extremely ambitious quest to cure a wide array of ailments and disabilities—from blindness to paralysis—with its brain implant. That the company is still actively searching for an institutional partner for conducting human procedures suggests that Musk and other Neuralink execs remain confident in their device’s path forward. > >Gizmodo reached out to Neuralink for more information, but did not receive a response as of publication time. As with Musk’s other companies, like Twitter and Tesla, Neuralink almost never replies to journalist inquiries. Barrow Neurological Institute also did not immediately respond to Gizmodo’s emailed questions. > >To Reuters, however, a director from the Arizona treatment and research center said that Barrow would be well-equipped to conduct brain implant research along the lines of what Neuralink is hoping to do.
It will be interesting to see what these particular developments might be, It looks like these partnership explorations are in advance of the regulatory approvals that have so far been denied to the company. And in light of the various investigations underway regarding their practices, it seems that at least in the near term that permission might not be forthcoming at least in the United States.

Will the battery in my Mac M1 Pro will last longer than 3 hours running Teams meetings now? Teams has been an absolute disaster of an application when it comes to performance.

He's not asking google to recommend the pc. He's asking google to pull objective articles that could lead him in the direction of making an informed decision.

You need proof that Amazon sells low quality shit? And that google has become cumbersome? and that Facebook force feeds you shit content that you don't want to see? lol wat? Are you going to tell me next that there's no proof of planned obsolesence or right to repair issues?

I've lost all interest in theatres.
My screens and sound systems in my house are phenomenal.
I can enjoy any food or drink I like and pause if desired.
Theatres? They're for live musicals and the like.
If it's a movie? I'm staying home.

There's no incentive. Play dumb, sellout all your customers for a ton of short term cash, oops! We didn't mean to!, roll everything back and wait for your customer base to build up again, repeat indefinitely. Until we get some laws that are more than a slap on the wrist for big tech companies.

Construction part is somewhat right, but it has been going on for a bit. The killing part is totally wrong, they are just going to kill by working them to death or working them without safety gear.

There just isn't enough that people want out of a social media platform
They really don't need to be that complex, that's the problem, capitalism won't let us just have a good tool, it needs more

In my experience, that would have the opposite effect. It’s trained on all code in its corpus, meaning it’s more than likely going to spit out something no better than the average developer.
