  1. Cow Body Temperatures on Fifty 'Connected Cows' Already Have 5G (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I once worked on a defunct project to track the internal temperature of dairy cows. A rfid transmitter and temperature sensor were encapsulated in a bolus. When the cow walked by a rfid reader panel it would identify the cow and read its temperature. Great Idea but in the end, it wasn't fully funded. I still have a reader panel in my garage.

  2. Re:Chasing Carl's Jr? on Burger King is Testing a Vegetarian Whopper Made With Impossible Burger (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Tried Carl Jr's beyond burger. Not bad. However $9.99 for a double burger is way too much. Come on people the veggie burger should cost less than a meat burger.

    Check out the BBB Extended Temperature range ->> -40C to +85C

    Plus a full Linux system for your development and deployment. I have used several for industrial apps with a custom daughter board with serial port connectivity.

  5. I dunno manually removing power to a motor that a control system is erroneously commanding you and 300 people to die should be something that gets raised for serious review and corrective action. Someone really missed an opportunity to save a lot of lives.

  6. Anti-science at both the right and left extremes on Portland City Council May Ask FCC To Investigate Health Risks of 5G Networks (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    I have recently found that there is an anti-science prevailing attitude at both extreme ends of the political spectrum.

    A very left wing Facebook "friend" recently posted pictures of a book burning party which include books like Dawkin's Selfish Gene.

  7. Wow. You use gross stereotyping and false assumptions when it suits you and can't debate the point with rational arguments

  8. Why do you believe that private companies have to provide a publishing platform for ideas that are deemed to be repulsive or counter to established principles? The alt-right (and extreme left) are marginalized and unpopular so they believe that others should be required to publish their crap. Get your own damn social network media

  9. The Chinese have persecuted the falun gong with even more vengeance.

  10. "allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step."

    Discredited here includes voicing an opinion against the prevailing totalitarian regime or someone in power. Can you say dystopian.

  11. But not too far before you hit the firmament. /s

    One of my flat earth FB "friends" responded to a FB posted Hubble Deep Field image that it was all embedded in the Firmament.

  12. I never understood what is so woo about telepathy. We already have telepathy (mind to mind idea transfer) that is transferred via modulated sound pressure propagation - aka speaking.

  13. Was reading Alistar McGrath this last week and he proclaimed the superiority of religion to science is that science can only reveal "shallow truths". I guess SPHEREx is just another attempt to discover shallow truths.

  14. Re:Next time subsidize wages! on Finland Basic Income Trial Left People 'Happier But Jobless' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Not every business owner is wealthy... something the liberal left believe...

    Nevertheless "free money" to "wealthy business owners" or to lazy people only results in inflation eventually.

  15. UBI on More Companies Are Trying a Four-Day Work Week (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know UBI is a hot and popular topic on /.

    A shorter work week, more vacation and an earlier retirement are much more practical ways to accommodate the loss of jobs to automation.

  16. Building Design on California Gives Final OK To Require Solar Panels On New Houses (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am actually designing a house to build in California Desert. Good design and energy efficiency dictates sloping roof inclines in a northern direction. So how is this new requirement to place solar panels on a roof going to effect building design?

    Additional analyses revealed a tendency for an increased risk of mortality associated with hypnotic use.
