Well, I am 66 and I have recently found that I can get a 2015 Porsche Boxster S (roadster) for much less and it will get from 0 to 60 in about 4.3 seconds. Oh, cup holders are included.

This is engineering, not science.

I wouldn’t be too worried; I mean, it’s not like any of us ever had problems due to buggy software.

The federal government is financing the creation of robots that can assist the elderly and make sure they are eating healthily.

Do what? Break your jaw open and cram cauliflower down your throat?

"The federal government is financing the creation of robots that can assist the elderly and make sure they are eating healthily."

Leave it to the government to devise an advanced milking machine that is not designed for cows.

Got it. The same kind of programmers who wrote HealthCare.gov are writing it for the robots? I don't find that very reassuring at all. What could go wrong?
