These hanna's are different, but still pretty decent.

@AlexDroog got an email from them that said they were working on it... I tried to call them and they said they'd get back to me, but they haven't.

oh cool, thanks for quoting it

Crap I'm too distracted to do this...ooof
I gotta try and find a green, cream and brown shirt for my brother-in-laws wedding in 2 weeks...The truck needs new tires and I have to go meet my husband at the tire place right after I pick up my kid, so I can take him back to work...I also have 2 attention demanding little fuzzballs climbing all over me *sigh*
And on top of all of this I can't get my Amz $$

Missed this round of Hanna's in the bathroom

It is a MIRACLE that MTS works at all lol. I'm going through the code right now making a gameplan on where I want to start and its terrible. Global variables everywhere, just hoping certain things run before others... So so so many things done wrong.

Bro, You gave the community an amazing tool for finding hits and we are eternally in your debt. Take your time with what ever changes you need.




btw, I applied for a job at facebook as a software engineer and I told them I created MTS. I also listed you as a reference. oh, and what the fuck is Python?

 

[Miklast]

oh, and what the fuck is Python?

A type of snake, obviously!

[Beak]

Should I finally do this?

NO!!!! Unless you want to waste 30 mins and get rejected.

today sucks

Okay. Called Amazon. After a relentlessly infuriating first call, I made a second call and was quickly sent to Amazon Payments proper (this is after calling the "Amazon Payments" number which is clearly just another generic call center number). The man there told me that it's a systemwide issue, and that it's being dealt with as we speak, and should be fixed in "a day or two." He also said emails will go out when the problem is resolved, but I don't know if that's for everyone or just the people that inquired, so give them a call if you want to be doubly sure.

I was going to do it, but returned when I thought about someone wacking off to my feet.

Lmao... I guess thats what happens when you treat your workers like shit. This is VRAPI on mturk FYI the "coveted" qual

"The consensus among the MTurk analysts that work on our HITS consistently say that they feel we pay generously,"

Never let a requester know you think they are paying generously, you noobs.

I just got an email that my payment went through fine, so hopefully will be resolved for all.

Binzer said the company has "been able to provide a means of earning a good living for people who would not otherwise have many employment alternatives. For example many of the MTurk analysts we work with are located in very rural parts of the country, have disabilities, do not have traditional education or lack significant traditional employment history."

Sounds like a justification for low pay and treating people badly to me.

Yea I like how they threw that in there to make it sound like they are doing humanitarian work or something
