09/22 - Far-fetched Friday!

If you think that's bad, wait til you crack open that tedlab

 

probably.Just my luck..

 

FWIW they'd be on the same server and same domain if it weren't for the fact that is a headache to set up lol. I'd understand this argument a lot more if it was some other forum scraping the data & reposting it there

I'll look into making an opt-out button but, personally, I'd like more work-related content here. For weeks now our dailies have had more total posts than MTC, but when loading HN you'd think they're the more active platform. I would far prefer someone coming here and seeing a bit of useful work data peppered in with the arguments about cream cheese and spinach

I wish this were possible unfortunately GIDs are mostly lost past the preview screen on mTurk. Only way I'd be able to reliably get them is if a user wasn't accepting HITs with MTS/HF/HS/PC which is.. incredibly unlikely haha I guess it may not be the worst thing to try and do just to see how often it would actually get grabbed..

 

I will not let this tedlab defeat me

 

It would be possible to attempt to get it working if you had something similar to that scraper that kad was working on. Well at the very least it would work most of the time... it would be a Grinch to setup though lol.

 

lol I have that auto play script going and I opened this thread and I'm like "WTF I think I hear moana?"

 

Sorry should have warned about that when I linked the script earlier

 

hmmm what is under six dollars that RA would be interested in ???

 

I agree that work-related content is nice. All I ask is the ability to opt-out via a checkbox during entering additional details. You can default that checkbox to checked, but I think that it should be optional.

More Spinach Dip:

 

Well yeah if I controlled the user's mTurk experience of course it'd be easy. I could also fairly reliably pull from my own log of HITs and match the title+requester to a PANDA but then I'd have to store that log on TV's server and it'd be an unmitigated nightmare to keep updated+pruned

I actually kinda wonder what the success rate on that would be lol.

 

oh I immediately found out (I was at work earlier) but I had headphones on then. I'm at home now and I was starting up all my mturk stuff and I'm like..... wtf shiny?

 

@ChrisTurk thoughts on an anonymous post button for people with anxiety that the forum may mount their head on a spear for 1 bombing their favorite requester

 

It is actually $20 ish lol

 

yeah sometimes I hear music or talking and I'm like WTF then oh yeah

 

I love your avatar btw. It's from Doctor Who right? I loved the first episode with those angels.

 

Totes doable.. but I'm going full Experience scumbag and hiding it in the most obscure place I can find!!!
Jk, its probably going to be right under the Submit button.

See above. It'll have a 'skip post' button or something on the review form.

 

That is why it would work better to have a shared scraper. Less bullshit to deal with once it is up and running.

I'm not convinced that it would be worth the effort though lol

 

cause it is con season

 

Experion? Who is the credit company that just got hacked.. you guys got the reference I hope lol
