As always, thank you to everyone here. Y'all all make this place awesome and I for one enjoyed going back over a lot of these posts from the last month (again!). We're a cool group of nickel nickers and I wouldn't want to spend my Sundays praying for shoes with anyone else.. Except maybe Kristen Bell

Also, congrats to @lefty on what has to be the fastest hat-trick in TH history lol.

Is anyone doing these Felicity hits? I don't see any statements showing just this everytime - 7497@anonymous.production

Also theres no option for lifestyle < other, only lifestyle < general advice.

Someone's doing them and I emailed the requester but was just wondering what anyone else is doing, or if they are seeing something other than what I'm seeing, cuz so far no statements just this number @ anonymous.production with different numbers at the beginning.

Yeah, about 10 seconds, because their speed test doesn't seem to work so I can't access it :?I

 

Although, poking around their internal guidance turned up this gem:


"Novice Turkers are particularly valuable to researchers. To attract them, put out a HIT with a 0 cent payment"

 

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from Stanford HCI for work related to 3AA88CN98PIH6NFROST6WCN1OEXKYR.
The value of your bonus is: $19.00 USD

The Requester included this note:
Thanks for participating!

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!


...but honestly was expecting $23 seeing as our team got 0 questions wrong. Not sure how they configured the bonus. Still not complaining but am very curious.

 

I'm not sure because it was in my queue for a while, but that 60 minutes is probably a pretty accurate guess. You aren't missing out on much.

 

I didn't turn on HF or HM.
