NFC or some other form of RFID probably. But they're probably not writable (by policy, not necessity) and even if they were, a vet's computer would probably just say it's corrupted if it doesn't return data in the exact format expected.
if it is rewritable, then its contents are not assured to be valid, you end up having to implement some way of authenticating the data contained therein which is nontrivial. you could have people rewriting them and claiming stolen dogs as their own, etc.
I think you have to think of the chip as an unloseable alternative to the traditional metal tags. Yeah anyone can just take the tag off and put their own tag on, but the point of the tag isn't really to protect against theft.
there are also likely other things attached to the microchip ID like medical records which wouldn't fit on the implant itself, so you end up needing an external system
It's fine for the chip to also have an ID for that kind of reference, but a third party database shouldn't be required to figure out the information that a metal tag would tell you.
The "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" is awarded by the same committee as the actual Nobel Prizes though, so it's close.
But yeah, Nobel explicitly said not to have a prize in economics.
Is there any good reason pet microchips don't just include your contact information directly on them, besides making you pay for some service to keep it in a database for you? Are there any pet microchips that let you just put your information on the chip itself?
Like it seems like such a simple concept. Save your number and address on the chip, if someone scans it they can see that and contact you. But no, instead it just has a number that you have to use to query some company's database for that information. They probably charge vets to access it too.
The reason that keeps getting repeated is that nobody ever wanted to work. Work is just a means to keep yourself alive and (ideally) happy. The less of it you can do while maintaining your quality of life, the better, and that's what technological advancement was supposed to enable.

Because of course it was.
Nah, damn God for seeing human cooperation and deciding that was a bad thing.
Damn I should 🏴☠️ Black Ops 2. Although I'd have to play as the bad guys.
I kind of want to go on Jeopardy at some point, but I'd probably just fuck it up.
lmao at all the states around Louisiana using "Louisiana Hot Sauce", but Louisiana uses Tabasco.
