From a comment on this post about “lesbians who only date men”: “Mischievous responding, i.e. ‘just making shit up because you don't take the questionnaire seriously and want to troll the researchers,’ is a huge problem when studying adolescents.

  3. “Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with ‘Just Walk Out’ technology which allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labelling videos to ensure accurate checkouts.”
