Good morning! Happy Tuesday!

 

I'm pretty sure the time was correct. I didn't change it from the review and there were 216 trials. 100 would of been reasonable they did go fast.

 

Mostly just playing devil's advocate here because I love my coffee, but are you sure that caffeine is unhealthy?

Of course almost anything in excess should be avoided, but I don't think caffeine is unhealthy.

Studies have shown that coffee may have health benefits, including protecting against Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and liver disease, including liver cancer. Coffee also appears to improve cognitive function and decrease the risk of depression.

They were updated sometime in November/December of last year? There was a huge kerfuffle for us regarding some of the language changes, turned out to be no biggy & they said they were mostly just making the language clearer.

As everyone else said, phone apps are incredibly common. Desktop software is rarer, unless you consider Inquisit. Y'all should be fine given a large % of workers accepting your HITs are familiar with your reputation to begin with, but you could also just run a more closed beta run on TH/MTC/reddit/facebook if you wanted to be extra careful.

Thanks. Appreciate the answers!

 

I've seen multiple people reference a change in TOS that allows requesters to post hits requiring a software download, but I haven't read through the TOS myself.

If you can't find the language prohibiting it, maybe Amazon just deleted that section?

 

When I don't want to drink coffee I make some warm water with lemon and honey. That usually gives me a little boost.

 

As most things, I don't think it's black and white. I believe moderate amounts are certainly good for the brain, but not so much for the heart. Just like moderate amounts of wine can be good for the heart, but not so much for the brain. Both are things I tend to consume on a daily basis. I also think it is never a bad idea to give your body a break once in a while from things it tends to process every day (aside from, ya know, water, oxygen, and food).

It looks like they just added to the language I remember. It now says:

"Creating a security risk for MTurk, any MTurk user, or any third party, including posting HITs that require downloading software that contains harmful content"

the whole "Contains harmful content" is new-ish, for me.

Appreciate the guidance, thanks!

 

From that same article,

In addition, some studies found that two or more cups of coffee a day can increase the risk of heart disease in people with a specific — and fairly common — genetic mutation that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. So, how quickly you metabolize coffee may affect your health risk.
​

I'd like to see what the survey says about caffeinated versus decaffeinated coffee.

 

Anyone having issues with qualtrics?
