11/16 - We're Immersed on Wednesday!

[Vanyanka]

I bet that's all covered in here

Guys, I know about this and you don't have to read anything.

My advice: be hot and funny and charming,

I was there 2 years ago, it's quite nice

here are some pictures I took:

hopefully the link works, imgur was giving me problems earlier

edit: damn it only showed half the pictures in the slideshow, here is the album:

Damn, I stand corrected.

The current one is to map the population distribution for the gov't of Botswana. The previous one was to map the distribution of solar panels in the US. It's one of the more sensible jobs we're asked to do.

Makes sense. I'll just shut up now and do my pfa's

 

[Caturk]

The $0.18 ones where you're looking for solar panels weren't too bad. These are more desperate money.

These come out to $4.50/hour.

These pfa are okay, they are literally 98% no buildings.

I started reading 'the #1 women's detective agency' and also looked up and learned what Mma meant. Does that count?

Actually reading and just looking it up, reading other people's experiences traveling there made me want to go there already, this was yesterday. What a weird coincidence. And the pictures are beautiful thanks for sharing!

The first batch I did was to map whether properties had pools or not and they offered up no explanation, so my suspicions were heightened.

I hate you. I can't fucking stop!

Man...Botswana is desolate

Not desolate. All those shrubby areas have a rich wildlife population. It's the modern cities that are desolate.

So...that survey from yesterday: Interested in highly compensated work? Take this brief survey to see if you're a good fit(~ 10 minutes)
Did anyone else get an email about this today, telling you to take a .30 survey that you qualified for based on this one, and then have it tell you when you click on the link that you aren't qualified to take it? (is this the 'highly paid' work? also saw the requester, Molly Rottapel's linkedin page which, if you took the survey, well i didn't know what to think.)

Check your email for another message from her. I received 2 emails for 2 different HITs. One I was qual'd for, the other I wasn't.

I did the pools too. I wonder if we sent a note, would they tell us the purpose?

On the subject of PFAs.. I tried to zoom in on one earlier, but I couldn't figure out how to move the image around to see what I actually wanted to see. Is there a trick to that or am I just dumb? (Or both?)

havent done them in a while but pretty sure you can just click and drag to move it around.

you should be able to click + hold on the picture and move it around I think

also there are + and - buttons in the top right corner (circles I believe) that let you zoom in and out

hope that helps

Thanks, weird, I just see the one, even did a search for it, I'll email and see what happens.

The older ones said they had a way of viewing it from a diff angle, not just zoomed
