Their toilet isn't working.

I was thinking along the same lines...

I'd say let the CEO do it. And when it goes south - which it will - make sure the CEO is held personally accountable for any misdiagnoses and deaths.

Wow, some pythonistas are sure touchy about their dog-slow language...

Back in my day, when my daughter was a kid, it was easier to keep tabs on what she was doing and who she was talking to. There were no iPads or smartphones.

I got pretty good at those Disney games like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.

Screw the solar-panel-deploying robots... it sounds like what we really need are Dyson-sphere-building robots!

This doesn't seem like particularly new tech, just a tweak on what the automotive industry has been using for several dacades. I'd also be curious if that "twice as fast" calculation takes into account the time necessary for setting up the necessary rails etc. required for the Maximo robots to operate.
