Also I am truly


I really need to step up my getting quals game.

Actually I have no game I just want them handed to me.

Are we eventually going to have to use the worker.mtuk site? I still have yet to use it because every time I try it gives me an error saying something about cleaning cookies... even right after I did I still haven't figured out why I can't use that site and honestly have no desire too unless either I'm forced to or y'all start making a big deal about how "wonderful" the new improvements are.

Eventually, but no one knows if it'll be tomorrow or in a year or what. We also don't know if they'll give us a heads up about when it'll be or if we'll just log on one day and the current site will be gone. You know, typical MTurk lack of transparency.

I don't think I've ever heard of a mass rejection from a9. I've only seen rejections on the category validation batches. The batch up now is fairly subjective so I wouldn't worry too much. Unless you're screwing up the obvious ones (right pic is a shirt instead of a shoe) you should be fine.

Given Amazon's record on "removing" things, they'll probably tell us one day that it can no longer be used, yet they'll neglect to actually take it down and people will still be able to use it.

Shit. RIP my approval rating then.

"One day" mturk will give me masters.

They're too busy making a new, useless site...

 

[Twirdman]

"One day" mturk will give me masters.

I stopped believing that roughly when I crossed 300k without masters. Now that I have 600k I place my chances of getting masters roughly at about the same chance as me winning a Fields Medal so significantly lower than me winning the lotto.

You grind up the corpses of your enemies and rink them in a smoothie. You know now that you have no enemies and you are sated. Happiness in a drink!

That's short-sighted.

Pigs can fly! I seen't it!

I have a question about surveys. Are surveys slower during the summer or about the same? I heard different sides to the story, just want to see someone's input.

I seemed to have done okay with them last year. I think more colleges are offering summer classes so that helps.

Mixed bag. You get fewer Psych 101 students posting surveys for class but more people posting research surveys that they didn't have time to do during the school year so they're running it during the summer break, plus students who run surveys as part of a summer internship or project. And the market research surveys are the same since they don't follow a school schedule.

Poor little guys. Good thing he was well insulated.
