Incels? How is that relevant?

Worse still is that when I went to the bank to ask if they would limit it to the amount of money that I have rather than letting them overdraft my account, they didn't give me a clear answer, so for all I know, the debt collectors can essentially transfer the debt to the bank where I would be unable to close the account and would start accruing overdraft fees, which would then eventually get put back into collections.
Again, this hasn't happened, but the bank won't tell me whether or not this is possible, saying merely "it depends on the court order".
The real shift that allowed for this isn't so much the development of these POS systems, but rather the ubiquity of touch screen devices in our daily lives. In the past these POS systems probably required training, but now they're intuitive. Our adoption of technology adjacent to the POS industry has lowered the bar for entry such that now even a toddler can operate a self checkout; that's not even an exaggeration.
We can't expect to have a monotonically increasing salary throughout our lives; see: 2008 Financial Crisis for instances of folks with masters degrees taking minimum wage service industry jobs.
People double global warming, so it makes sense to declare belief or disbelief in global warming to put one's self on a certain side of the global warming issue, since it's actually an issue of contention.
It doubly makes sense if you want to alleviate the knee-jerk responses that will dismiss what you're about to say since people seem to respond emotionally rather than logically to such a contentious issue.
Prefacing the side you're on in this case is like going up to a guard dog at your friend's house and saying "It's ok buddy, I'm on your side. Don't worry." in a soft non-threatening voice.
I was recently dealing with a company on a contract where I was tasked with cleaning up their analytics tags and implementing some new ones. I noticed one of their sites had multiple google analytics tags, meaning it was double counting, so I removed one thinking I fixed it, which I did, but apparently not in their eyes.
A month or so later i get an email saying that something was wrong with one of their sites and that traffic had plummeted. I explained the situation; that they were double counting page views before. They told me to put one it back saying "I know this might be unethical, but" I refused and the subject was dropped. I continued doing work for them thinking my invoice would be paid, but they apparently had other plans, so I fired them as a client.
EDIT: I'm not very aware of the space, but I assumed that the worst case scenario is that they were selling ad space to companies directly using their google analytics numbers and using double counted numbers would be fraudulent behavior.
It seems easy to have a knee jerk reaction to this, but you have to understand that these ankle bracelets aren't being just randomly slapped on innocent kids. They're being placed on kids that have committed crimes or are awaiting trial. This is a lot better than the alternative to getting locked away where worse things can happen to them.
Granted, as has been pointed out by the parent comment to yours, this study is referring to the US specifically, where there are more women than men in 40 states (https://www.statista.com/statistics/301946/us-population-mal...)
(2) Why would you want to divert folks away from the medical field? Please don't try to convince people to switch; we desperately need those doctors, nurses, etc.
Similarly, how neat would it be to have a program that does this for object in video, and testing the viewer on the name of the object? Perhaps to avoid error as a result of imperfections in the neural net, it would require 2 parties, the learners and the teachers. The teachers would go through a video ahead of time with the video, making sure there are no errors, then that session would be saved and the teacher could play it back for the learners.
The problem is that games journalists don't want to play games. They want to get paid to write, and they were only able to get a job writing about video games. That's literally the only reason this is a topic. That and the fact that journalists as an industry have sussed out ways to increase monetization, and one such way that is particularly effective is the "rage bait" method, whereby you infuriate, or "nerd snipe" a particular demographic that feels invested in defending something to the point of sharing the thing they feel is attacking them.
If you want a book, then buy a book. If you want a movie, then watch a movie. If you want to overcome a challenge, then accept that failure is a possibility and thus won't be allowed to enjoy the reward. Failure in these games is accepting specifically because the downside doesn't affect us in a meaningful way. We won't get hurt. We won't lose money. The failure itself is part of the game.
Sure, at some point it's nice to derive something from first principles to really understand it at a deeper level, but often times that's a complex process and it's aided by learning the thing by repetition prior to learning by how the thing was derived. That's how we learn math after all.
