Bl***y nitpickers. Ruined a perfectly good comment with facts. You'd never see that in the news.The date at the bottom right looks like 1934 or 1936 to me, so probably more states then.
But a London electric company

Does that mean all cockerPOOs should be in litter bins?
Is that a cockerPOO in the litter bin?

How do you think the breeds came to be in the first place? The important point is whether the breed remains true if continued to be bred.
I have read somewhere that horses and dogs have the greatest variety within a single species (a species being the set of animals all of which are capable of interbreeding, although I am dying to see a Newfoundland sire with a Yorkie - or vice versa!).

The whole article is talking about a factory-calibrated temperature and humidity sensor chip. The sentence makes just a bit more sense if you know "IoT" means Internet of Things (ie small, cheap, low power consumption, networked devices able to share configuration and sensor readings with the surrounding ecosystem). The thing that really piqued me was the use of "use cases" when "applications" will usually do, although in this case I think it should read:
"The company has spotted an opportunity for IoT to be applied in industrial situations, made possible by advances in semiconductor technology."
"The company has spotted an opportunity for IoT to be applied in industrial situations, made possible by advances in semiconductor technology."

I don't know! Both pictures are cropped from the same image. There wasn't much additional info. I know nothing about dogs apart from they leave little (or not so little) messages everywhere.
Would one of the crosses be a New Yorker?

So did I.
Not sure that the concept is new. I have a vague recollection of some work on this about 15 years ago - mainly to do with the control of motors. But I may be wrong - I usually am!

I may have written an understandable sentence, but I'm not convinced it is a faithful translation!

Yes, wireless networks for process control have been around for some time already - I'd almost say they were a predecessor of IoT - so to "spot an opportunity at this stage" seems a bit tardy. I assume/hope they are actually latching on to some specific niche.

I did realise what IoT was referring to, but the sentence still made no sense at all to me.

I didn't. I was thinking "Institute of ...". Not technology as this would be the IET. If BH hadn't explained in a later post I still woudn't have guessed.
