"Run in Google Colab" notebook no longer works

"Run in Google Colab" notebook no longer works as the julia-tpu-binaries can no longer be downloaded from:

https://storage.googleapis.com/julia-tpu-binaries/julia.v1.1.0-kf.tpu3.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

You get the following error when trying to download:

<Error>
  <Code>UserProjectAccountProblem</Code>
  <Message>User project billing account not in good standing.</Message>
  <Details>
    The billing account for the owning project is disabled in state closed
  </Details>
</Error>

I just run into this issue, too. Really a pity, as everything else looks super well setup.
I also looked for alternative locations of these binaries but couldn't find any.

@Keno Can you take a look? It would be great to get the examples working again

We never really got this working reliably and eventually the credits I had gotten from Google to play with this ran out. I don't think I'll be able to invest the time to revive this as is. Maybe in the future once we have better compiler infrastructure that no longer requires hacking up Julia to get this to work.

Just wanted to note that at least right now it should be easy to get a lot of free TPU compute from https://sites.research.google/trc/
