Google age discrimination case: Supervisor called me 'grandpa', engineer claims

I had the pleasure of interviewing as a 50 year old in Los Angeles last year. Phone interviews and tech screenings would go great, once they saw my grey hair in person for the on site interview, ghosting was the norm. I dyed my hair brown and landed a job the very next interview. Apparently a small investment in dye can reap dividends :)

How long until we can build R2-D2 and C-3PO?

No. We. Can't. I attended the 2015 DARPA Robotics Finals.

These robots couldn't open a door knobwithout falling down out of confusion, nor drive a buggy around 5 obstacles over 200 meters. We are about as far from these two droids as we are from recreating einstein in a test tube.
