I actually used HF to test if I could even upload scraper results before hooking into my personal project, so this is kinda doable. Though IME I don't miss much so not sure its needed or not once I have it fully integrated. That would be a lot of inserts/updates lol.

Right now I store `title`, `gid`, `req_id`, `req_name`, `last_seen` (I was just doing date, but I wanna put out stats like unique reqs/day, unique hits/day, etc so had to change it - hence the broken exports earlier when I changed `date` column to `last_seen` ) in the DB and just update the `last_seen` when there's a duplicate [primary is `gid`.. not sure if good or not but I did it LOL].

Since I can't know if a HIT exists or not in the DB from scraper I just always try. First iteration I was just inserting if it was new to my scraper, but now w/ tracking `last_seen` I just throw everything at the site and say "figure it out" haha.

I've actually thoroughly enjoyed it. If I catch it off a TV export I'll do it, if not I chalk it up to fate LOL. Its sooo much more useful than regular exports though lol. I know that survey is good, not some survey the requester put out 5 years ago but "still counts" 'cause reasons.

Gotta add the time in there so we know if it's worth doing.

 

Shockingly, I don't read every post here, so ....

was TV changed to not display the (optional) pay rating from the Hourly part of the Dashboard?
I though it used to show the hourly w/o my intervention.

It grabbed the wage data, and shows the completion time next to the label "Completion Time" in the "input form."

Are we forcing everyone to rate pay (optionally) instead of having it default based on your completion time? But it seems it hasn't set any value for pay rating, and so there are no comparisons to Fed and Cali either ...

 

You have to manually confirm the completion time is correct by inputting it into the boxes.

 

I actually like that because I am usually multi-tasking so I have to fudge the completion times a little to compensate. Don't change it.

 

Agreed. I thought it used to do that "by default" and I was testing what it did if I didn't do it manually.

 

any one do Decision Study(~ 40 minutes) Michael Inzlicht

 

Have no plans to, I do the same thing haha!

Also my computer clock has always been screwed up (no matter how I "sync" it to the server thing) so all my mTurk timers start at 12-20seconds instead of 0. Pretty much always have to shave a few seconds off the script times :/

 

I disagree. Maybe highlight it, but why make me do more work for something that has already been computed for me?
