How else will they entertain themselves?!

 

preemptive F to everyone that will get nuked on round 1

 

good luck to everyone on the qual test.

also, bad luck to everyone on the qual test.

seriously though, take your time on it, one little mistake and you're done. CT wrote up some good advice here:

VRAPI Qualification Methodology Review

 

I wonder if they are they looking for more people because the Boston batches aren't getting done? They did the same thing when the San Diego listings weren't getting done last year. Qualifying more people won't fix that problem. The listings are sitting around because they can't be found not because of a lack of people.

To my Chelsea friends and family,
You now know that I will be joining Real Madrid. It’s no secret that it was my dream to play for them since I was a young boy just scoring my first goal. I have tried my very best not to distract myself or the team through this difficult period of speculation and media attention, especially the last 6 months.
Now the Clubs have reached an agreement I hope you understand I had to pursue my next chapter, just as each and every one of you should when you have the chance to pursue your dreams. Leaving Chelsea is the biggest and toughest decision in my career to date. Now it’s in the open I would like to put on record one thing was always clear to me, I have loved every moment at Chelsea and not once did I ever consider, nor would I have left for any other Club.
I was only 21 when I joined, so I have grown up as a man and a player with all of you, you have helped me become Captain of the Belgium National team after all. There have of course been tough times, for the team as a whole and for me personally, this is professional football. However, football to me is about having a ball at my feet, playing games and enjoying every moment, we are lucky to play the beautiful game and this is always my advice to those who ask for a coaching tip! Play football and have fun!
Even when we were not playing well, I tried to do my best and this has been thanks to your amazing support. That fighting spirit, desire and the refusal to ever give up is part of the culture here at Chelsea and it comes directly from you.
When I think back over my special moments in a Chelsea shirt, there are so many, we are lucky to win many more games than we have lost. Those who know me understand it is not me to list what I have won, all I can say is each and every award both as a team and as an individual have been incredible. One day I will be able to sit down over a beer and talk about or laugh with pride about my missed penalty that set up my header to win the league against Palace, or those goals against Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool.
The memories are so vivid because of the atmosphere and occasion you create, I hope you always remember them with pride, as I do. Whether it’s on tour in the USA, or at Sunderland on a Tuesday night, in Russia on a Thursday, or of course EVERY game at The Bridge – you’ve always supported me and encouraged me to play football and be me – Like I have enjoyed myself I hope you have enjoyed yourselves, I am only sorry not leave with a defending award amongst my honours!
We have many great players and my proudest moments were always as part of the team. We’ve won the FA Cup, League Cups, Europa Leagues and Premier Leagues all as a family. Each one so special in its own way and of course the game in Baku a couple of weeks ago is the perfect way to sign off from a long tough season after the World Cup.
Chelsea and especially Chelsea fans will always be special to me and next season I will look for your results first. I hope that we are drawn against each other in the Champions League next season and every season so we can meet again.
Before I go, one last thank you to everyone at the Club for their tremendous effort as we lived through every moment. To all of my ex-Colleagues we will say our goodbyes at the right time but I must thank the owner Mr Abramovich and his board for helping me realise not one, but two dreams, my first in becoming a Chelsea player and today my second, becoming a player at Real Madrid.
I wish each and every one of you the very best my friends.

It's my sincere hope that's why they're doing it, because that honestly doesn't change things too much since very few people will bust through the huge learning curve to make them worth it.

My big fear, like when a lot of closed quals open up, is that it will be used to lower the pay again.

 

Just fucking looking at this qual makes me feel dumb.

 

It costs them $0 to qual more people, it will increase the throughput of work preventing them from having to increase the prices of the HITs (if not allow them to drop it) and everyone knows good & well there will be a crop of doe-eyed folks who will sit there and scrutinized every one of those undone HITs for $0/hr for at least a week.

Every extra found is another $35 in their pocket lol.

 

how long has the qual test taken in the past?

 

bearnies paramilitary training looks like its going well

 

How long is the timer?

10 seconds less than that.

 

Totally depends on your natural inclination for the work, honestly, but even if it takes 10 hours you might as well do it & jot down notes on what you're learning as far as which resources/methods are/aren't helpful because after you get the qual it's just internalizing all that pattern matching blah blah blah

The test took me a long time. I was about to return it but didn't. I am glad I didn't because for a long time now I haven't been doing any other mturk hits except vrapis.

 

Oh hey, video game bus.

 

and oh hey, easy bounding box for $1.40? 92% accuracy. jeez, turkerhub is being generous today.

 

At least I have 12 hours to stress over doing this.
