Wanted criminals have already been tracked using biometric imaging, but now an Irish company is targeting dairy cows with a new form of facial recognition.

Irish company Cainthus appears to be ‘raising the steaks’ in facial recognition with an unusual plan to roll out the technology to dairy farms around the world.

The data solutions company based in Dublin has partnered with agriculture giant Cargill to produce a predictive imaging system that can identify cows from their facial features and hide patterns. The software will also provide dairy farmers with data on their animal’s temperature and food intake.

I'm definitely bullish on this idea.

  Let me tell you, I'd recognize Elizabeth Beck anywhere. I have nightmares about that disgusting whack-job. She was crazy! And she represented her clients very poorly. She lost the case and I got legal fees, OK? If she needed a break to breast pump or whatever, I mean -- well, that's unusual, we're in a legal proceeding -- but you know I've had more unusual things happen. But I'll tell you what she wanted to do. She wanted to breast-pump in front of me during a deposition. And I said, that is just horrendous that somebody can suggest that.

    In the past you have said that you favored "waterboarding". Does that mean it is ok with you if Mueller "waterboards" you?
