It is worded strange, I thought the US just goes into these places and sets up shop why would they need to hack unless practicing.

USA hacks everybody, even friendly allies, all nations do if they want to survive

@Azazael @Squatty @whoever else cares, here was my email from Margaret Olson :
(and I'm assuming she is alluding to Squatty ) :
(The first part was re: an error where clicking in the keyword field brings up a help page, this will be fixed in later batches)

"Also, I have been alerted by other workers that you guys get mega dinged if I reject things and that I should not reject reasonable responses. Unless workers reach out I don't have any way of contacting you unless you reach out, so I'm going to reject with a note and then reverse rejections. I hope that works. If you think it doesn't work let me know."​

Personally I think this would be a nice built in option for requesters, without having to resort to doing this to give feedback, but works for me. I don't want rejections obviously but I don't want to be paid for doing things incorrectly without knowing about it either.

I don't know what this was from but is she trying to send a message to workers? http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/AWSMturkAPI/ApiReference_NotifyWorkersOperation.html

tried to check into my yahoo email. got this message -

We have confirmed, based on a recent investigation, that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from our network in late 2014 by what we believe is a state-sponsored actor. The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. The ongoing investigation suggests that stolen information did not include unprotected passwords, payment card data, or bank account information; payment card data and bank account information are not stored in the system that the investigation has found to be affected.

Sucks to hear. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ You can use this website to see if any accounts associated with the email address you enter have been compromised. Granted it's only good for known data breaches but it still might be helpful.

that's a huge problem in a nutshell, imagine if your working fast food and you mess up a couple burgers, you don't get money taking out of your hourly wage. Here if you mess up but was honestly doing your best with shitty instructions, and got rejected you worked for free.

Took me like 25 minutes. I didn't know at least 1/2 the critters so I left the name section blank (per the instructions).

 

[Deleted member 481]

OK, got the juror hit & the $6 language hit & I'm done for the day if I can get them both done.
