I 100% agree with you, and I didn't think that you tried to take anything away from me. If they are even thinking about trying to make a change then they must feel that something is wrong or they feel the same way as to not reward people that bet high and are not as accurate. Watching their Tedtalk made me feel that they care more about the swarm results, but I could understand them wanting to reward accuracy or ROI.

 

You didn't get that soup I ordered for you yet? I would check with Bearnie, he might have grabbed it.

That explains it! He didn't want to share.

 

I did this one earlier, probably my favourite HIT so far!

 

Here's the source for the code in the screencast for anyone who wants to see whether their computer is slower or faster than mine at calculating and setting tab titles:

Ideally by the end of this week, I will have earned more on MTurk than I ever have before.

 

Do you think this is a game?

 

UGGGGH that gif ends too early - I really want to know if it knocked down the last pin.
