It does seem to have died down in recent times as most people now know the pros and cons of a Tesla, so the FUD is less effective and hurts their credibility.

It's more likely that it died down because Musk effectively poisoned the brand in the eyes of the company's target audience - few people care about Tesla anymore.

It's becoming quite clear that semaglutide works by reducing the addiction component of eating, but also affects other addicting substances.

And the nausea discussed apparently counts if you have one episode of nausea or vomiting in a given year. I've had that without semaglutide often enough.

That it doesn't work on Alzheimer isn't a huge surprise to me, the latest research indicates there is a far higher likelihood of Alzheimer being caused by an immune response gone wrong, than by being fat. However, the things that make you fat may also moderate that immune response.

TFS appears to be attempting to conflate the phone-buying habits of individual consumers with business hardware replacement cycles and productivity. It appears to be complete garbage.

I am left to assume this was shadow written by someone in the marketing department from some large tech company - e.g. Dell, Samsung, Apple, Google, Microsoft.

As an aside - it seems pretty wasteful (and pointless) to replace your smartphone even after 29 months, let alone every 22 months.

I do recall one lecture where the professor started by writing up a brief overview of stochastic processes on the whiteboard and then turned around to us, the first words out of his mouth were "don't panic, we can get through this"

The lecturer is there to read the room and be responsive to what's necessary to get the points across, otherwise may as well just read it in a book

Not that there aren't some great books that have been better than some lectures I've attended and for all I know AI can get to the point where it is responsive, and more than just broad-brush to the whole group, individually
