I just realized something. Given the number of hits I did before masters I put in more captchas than a large number of people who got masters did hits. There just seems something wrong about that. Roughly 17k captchas.

@Kadauchi or any other robot or mechanical "turker"

anyone know why my chrome tabs are reloading nowadays when I click back on one after letting it sit for awhile?
I did the --disable-background-timer-throttling thing from a few months ago

Try Netscape and see if that fixes the problem somehow I have no idea what I'm talking about.

might be releasing some memory just a guess. extensions will do that periodically but will slow down the browser. maybe close all browsers then restart them?

Maybe try disabling automatic tab discarding?

edit: linking doesn't seem to work, but you have to go to chrome://flags/

Hi.

Yep, let's talk Masters numbers. There was the admitted scammer (who bragged about it) what got masters at a couple K approved, and the guy who was suspended for months, and another who had an unbelievable number of hard blocks(and was a drug dealer--in another country--there's ''good'' work for you), and the little idiot who had to be told what it was (and what it was good for), and let's not forget all those diligent sorts who are immensely past several million HITs. Yes -sir -ree-bob, numbers count....as long as they're in your bank account. But many do as well or better without it. You can have Masters....or you can BE one.

I always take those sorts of stories with a grain of salt. Nothing gets a rise out of people in this community more than the masters qual, and I think the people that enjoy doing stuff like that will often say anything to make others angry.

Hell maybe.
