In its quest to be the largest company without a single "employee," Uber outsourced security at one of its San Francisco parking lots to a 300 pound egg-shaped robot . Silicon Valley startup Knightscope created this creepy albino conebot as an alternative to security guards because there's
So... if Theranos actually got every test exactly wrong, couldn't they have fixed it by just inverting every result? Arguably their testing was 100% accurate and they just didn't know how to read the results.
I've done a lot of work proofreading financial filings of corporations. Board members are sometimes hands on; more often, they are lending their allegedly illustrious names, for which they are richly compensated. Those who serve on enough boards never have to do any work, apart from showing up for board meetings.
I assume this robot has been trained to give extra attention to people of color, you know, for security purposes. I'd feel safer if it kills Black & Hispanic teenagers on sight just for cutting through the parking lot. (Also, can we program this robot to identify transgenders? It should call them out and bully them for being weird.)
I happened upon her visage on the cover of a Forbes or Inc issue in the magazine/newspaper pile near my dad's reading chair, and being a mean girl who grew up in Shallow Alto as well as being a Cal graduate and a doctor who is sometimes asked to draw her patient's blood for testing (and has sometimes yielded only a few drops on some occasions since I rarely do femoral sticks in my office, I read the article with some interest. Despite all the buzz surrounding Kissinger and Frist being investors and her dressing all in black so that the person she speaks to focuses on what she says rather than wears, I could not find where the hell the 'genius' was that was being hyped. I understand about protecting intellectual property, but it looks like yet another set of emperors new clothes (although she is probably one they want to see nekked.)
I bought one of those coaguchek meters (that use a drop of blood for coumadin monitoring and are apparently as accurate as the tests in the lab [for the office] off ebay. The test strips cost almost as much as the meter itself and the one time I used it, it gave me an error message each time, thereby assuring me that I wasted my money.
my son got a "unauthorized use of scissors" remark on his kindergarten daily report (I thought his "bangs" looked a little shorter than usual and recalling my first grade school photo with a few wispy self made "bangs," I figured he was right on time.)

Beware of robots bearing gifts.

Too true. Automation could be a great thing if the money it saves went to the workers it replaces. Sadly, the money always goes to the stock markets.

North Carolina could use them as robo-toilet-police. These guys are missing out on a big market!
Without even thinking? They really are cut out to be bad cops.

try like $250 or more per hour including travel time.
It helps sometimes, like when the dog cleaned up the barf that the kids...never mind.
