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.

The 1945 ball point pen could conceivably have had equal or greater ROI in 1945 compared to a Chromebook today. Sign checks, documents, contracts, draft letters or even a book - the Chromebook has tremendous potential, but what are most of them really used for? How much do they actually benefit their owners?

Exactly, most ballpoint pens today never do anything of value, but in 1945 the usefulness ratio of ballpoint pens was much higher.
