01/13 - Self Gratification Sunday!

It's from the 10,000 people who make between $0 and $4 a week, if I were to guess.

I doubt those people would put in the effort to provide feedback. I'm pretty sure mturk makes this shit up as they go along.

I think they may muster a "Why the f*&^* do you keep sending me these?!?!?!" after 5 or six months of blank weekly statements. But, who knows? I'm not one of them.

But, also, they make shit up as they go along. If you stamp an improvement sticker on something, that's usually explanation enough.

Me either. I almost made $10 this week.

That's cool. I'm fine with the dollar menu.

I just noticed your tag under your username. That's actually where I got the idea for mine. Loved that movie as a kid.

I was copying you, while fulfilling a childhood dream.

Thankfully there's not an emotional IQ test.

for anyone doing those toli bean hits, i was confused and asked some questions and here is there reply. they are pulling some quals. you can see on the dashboard in the details section of whatever day how many you are "failing". they told me 25% and they dump you.

1. In past years, the Bridgepoint Education Golf Invitational has raised more than $150,000 for Rady Children's Hospital, including $40,000 raised at last year's event.
- is this positive? or does it have to be something related to financial gain to be positive?

• it might be positive in a larger context, but we want to make sure to only consider shown context, and in the shown context we don't know if raising this capital is great, ok or below their necessary level because we don't have a point of reference in this fragment. Therefore we rate it Neutral.

2. FRANKFURT, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Germany's financial watchdog BaFin has ordered Deutsche Bank to take measures to prevent money laundering and "terrorist financing", BaFin said on Monday.
- is this neutral or negative?

• also neutral, I wouldn't say it means some type of financial implication for DB, nor the order to enforce protection is bad news generally, it's like someone saying "please enforce the law", so I would also go neutral.

3. View the full release here: ( ) In a global first, Western Union will power Safaricom to scale money transfers to more than 200 countries and territories.
- positive? they are expanding their business. or is it neutral because it's seems to be from a press release?

• This does seem to be positive. Even though we don't have a point of reference, (what if market is expecting them to expand to 300 countries?) but for these announcements of expansion of their market, we want to think of this as Positive.

4. Nike faces challenges in the U.S. market Nike isn't doing too hot in the U.S. as rival brand Adidas has given it a literal run for its money and market shares.
- neutral or negative? it's negative, but it's not quantifiable

• Negative, don't need to be quantifiable, as long as there is an opinion / commentary / expectation of the writer.

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

The following is a summary of activity for your Mechanical Turk account for the week ending Jan 12, 2019.

Your HIT activity for this week:
- Number of HITs submitted: 2,083

Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
- Number of HITs approved: 2,121
- Number of HITs rejected: 0
- HIT reward earned: $216.45
- Total Amount earned this week: $216.45


Wow. I don't know what to say. I love the weekly activity reports. I have every single one saved (except I think there was a few random weeks in there where they never sent them out) and I've been doing mturk since August 2013.

The feedback is helpful but I find those a little subjective... and I haven't even worked on the HITs yet

right, that's why i emailed them. some of them are a bit tricky because they sound positive but they should be marked neutral because it's the company talking about itself. "microsoft is the world's leader..." but at least i understand that. but the stuff asked them is very very subjective and you can't see what you got wrong (only that you got x% wrong), so i was really confused. it did clear it up a bit. hopefully they post another batch today. they have a weird scheme where the hit is just 4 cents but you get a bonus based on % correct. some hits its 16 cents, some it's all the way down to 9 cents. and if you get 80% correct you get 80% of it. under that you get no bonus. a lot of them are really obvious, or are even in different languages (mark neutral). it's a worthwhile hit if you can pass all of them. i calculated 5 minutes at about $18/hr but that was with the 16 cent bonus hits and doing 8 per 5 minutes
