Hey guys i think the CIs are approving at random right now

 

A true wonder, but no one stopped to appreciate it since apparently Turkers prefer a platform that looks like a 1992 spam jam knockoff.

 

There was a massive storm that knocked out a ton of Amazon's servers in 2016 I believe, but it wasn't down more than a few hours. It knocked out a ton of other websites at the same time too though.

 

@Kadauchi might remember better than me since I always take breaks over the years, but I don't remember anything longer than a few hours. When there is a larger problem with Amazon servers, there can be a carryover, and that happened before, but again, only a few hours. And it's been very, very few times that a glitch is longer than a few minutes.

It's not as accurate as it should be, but you can always check the site's health here - https://worker.mturk.com/status/

 

I just want all my ci's to approve. then I could just do whatever I want instead of worrying about rent.

 

Ironic..

 

recess?

I mentioned above that they must be working on quite a bit behind the scenes for the service health to be down. It doesn't typically sit on the same server. That said, the site loaded for me. And like I said, not as accurate as it ought to be, unlikely to show anything but green for today even if you check tomorrow.

 

Hear that Oklahoma? The Mods have spoken. GTFO.

Guess I'll have breakfast today since the servers are on fire

 

It's on and off. A bit risky to engage.

 

They've gone to lunch
