No need for any actual person to obtain quotes from either.
Here's how it works, "According to sources..."
That proves it. It is definitely true because our sources are experts.

Researchers have used a simple inkjet printer to print a "bio-ink" of cyanobacteria onto a conductive surface, creating a biophotovoltaic cell. They still need to figure out what to do with the magentobacteria and yellobacteria
It was either that, or "We shall call them bacteries". Running a little low on humour in the Insider cube this month.

computers get viruses and printers get bacteria? white collar workers prepare for a new meaning to the medical term "staff" infection.

One of our biggest complaints with Microsoft in recent years has been their tendency to persistently start over, generally leaving users and developers stranded on newly created dead ends such as Windows Phone 7 or Silverlight. With some definition of 'decline' I am not aware of

|
|
Decline: when your company makes 99 gazzlion dollars instead of 100, they are in decline. (See also Apple and Intel.)

Nope, that isn't it. My biggest complaint and one I have heard from many others is you make stupid decisions regarding functionality. For example, someone there thinks it is a good idea to wake up a sleeping laptop (one that has its lid closed) and have it download and install "updates." All while its lid is still closed. That is so ridiculously stupid that it is difficult to believe. Had I been in charge I would have fired the individual(s) who advocated that.

Didn't you run the medium article MSPU quoted without adding anything of value to earlier in the month?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not to my knowledge (that article doesn’t look familiar), but I do have to say everything is looking like a fog these days.

Ok. I know I read the article; and I get 80-90% of my programming news from here; so it's my default I know I saw this somewhere assumption.

[^]Quote: According to new research from Chainalysis, a digital forensics firm that studies the bitcoin blockchain, 3.79 million bitcoins are already gone for good based on a high estimate—and 2.78 million based on a low one. Those numbers imply 17% to 23% of existing bitcoins, which are today worth around $8,500 each, are lost.
Quote: Finally, there’s the question of what became of the bitcoins belonging to Satoshi, the pseudonymous creator of the crypto-currency, who has not been not been heard from since 2011. Chainalysis says wallets associated with Satoshi represent about 1 million bitcoins (the company will provide a more specific figure later this year), and that its model assumes that those coins—which date from a time when it was easy to mine 50 bitcoin with a laptop—are gone forever. This assumption is a big one and, if it proves to be incorrect, the number of circulating bitcoins could suddenly increase significantly and deliver a shock to the market.
