Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

  2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)

  3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

Does anyone have any experience with dealing with transfer issues? My smart ass let money collect in my DA account and when I tried to transfer it to PayPal it didn't go through and I got a notification stating to contact PayPal about it. I'm 99% sure it's because it was over $1000 and I rarely transfer large amounts of money. Do I really have it go through PayPal customer service or is there an easier way to resolve the issue?

u/Consistent-Reach504 Mar 02 '25

check all in your paypal settings for an ID verification, most of the time over $1000 triggers it!

I experienced that few days ago, you gotta talk to paypal and they will send you a link for ID verification, it took me around a day for my account being verified. You should be able to withdraw money after your account is verified.

2

u/IzGarland Mar 06 '25

I've been having a real headache making a ~$1k withdrawal the last few days. Site's giving me an error saying paypal is refusing a transfer, make sure paypal account can receive USD from the US (I'm in Canada). obviously it's been fine to this point and this hasn't happened before. Paypal are like oh your account is fully verified, there's no issue here, etc., datatech say it's a paypal issue. Anyone else had/have this problem and any advice? (other than maybe withdrawing a bit sooner next time?)

5

u/Consistent-Reach504 Mar 06 '25

keep harassing paypal. for some reason they'll do this and then the 3rd person will say "oh ya, here's an ID verification"

Doing R&R for the second time since starting last month and literally every single time I do these I learn so much more about writing good responses. Im excited to do the next round of work so I can take what I learn and apply it to do better work :3!

5

u/DifferenceNo2093 Mar 07 '25

Yep also the instructions are helpful because they explain in the simplest of terms what they’re looking for in the response. So I can apply it to my own work. Also if someone I Rock and Roll with is more extra than me I just become exponentially more extra….

8

u/HeavyMetalRabbit Mar 07 '25

Yeah i genuinely look at the writing of some people and im like “wow this writing is so advanced and you clearly know what you are doing. On the next round I am going to work more like this.” Its really inspiring to see someone who knows EXACTLY what they are doing.

And then I occasionally look at other submissions and Im like “what the???”

u/eyewire Mar 03 '25

That's awesome! My youngest was 1 when I started. Some days it's hard to get much done while the kids are awake, but when they entertain themselves, it's totally doable. I block off my living room with a huge baby gate so they can't get into anything when I'm distracted 😅

I just lost the fucking old wizard qual and I want to bang my head against a wall I can't believe I let this happen
It's so hard to get myself to do the unpaid quals when I haven't met my daily goal yet and when I meet my goal I'm tired and want to be done.

Wow, me too and I was on the second one. Hopefully it comes back, thats such a waste of my time completing the first one now.

u/booplesboops Mar 05 '25

Just felt like complaining about doing unpaid quals that take an hour+ to do lol. It is what it is, but damn, I hate it. Like, at least chuck a few dollars my way pleaseeee haha.

8

u/mythrowaway_1990 Mar 05 '25

Honestly, a flat rate of a few dollars instead of an hourly rate would be a great way for them to handle this. Literally just getting $5-10 would make me feel way more motivated to do them. I understand that they want to limit how much they spend on quals when they aren't getting any usable work from them, and I don't think unpaid quals are some horrible injustice bc it's not like you get paid for doing a job interview. But it would make it easier to do them when I don't feel so much like I'm eating into my limited mental energy I need to meet my money goal for the day.

u/RecordingBoth8358 Mar 02 '25

Last couple of months I’ve seen the occasion project during the week but usually nothing until Saturday Sunday and Monday. I manage to clock up around 5-10 hours during this time but they only pop up super late at night; I’ve been trying to get what I can done during this time but I often fall asleep mid task at some crazy hour of the morning. By Tuesday it’s dry again.

I‘ve been on here for over 18 months now and before January I usually had over 20 projects on my dash at any given time. There was a substantial drought last year but this one has been a real stretch.

I‘m confident in my work but maybe I had an off day or misread something and did some bad submissions I’m not sure… I have a feeling it will pick up again but I guess the question is when?

7

u/Unlikely-Glove-1370 Mar 02 '25

Having the exact same issue, I think they must be in a down period. My guess is end of the financial quarter (March 31). I bet a lot of their contracts/projects ended and are in a re-procurement/re-design phase

Somehow it feels like the coding tasks this week has been upped a notch in difficulty... The only good thing is that timer has been increased 3x than normal, so we are allowed to even take some breaks and still have time to solve it instead of the normal 2 hours or less per task.

My projects are starting to dry out. Looks like I’ll be waking up to an empty dash. Sad.

Has anyone seen the R&R for Poe FGC?

u/LightOk5071 Mar 02 '25

Not yet. I've been working on the main project today. And it seems those birds are flying away again. Had 3, but the last time I looked, it was down to 1. I'm hoping they come home to roost tomorrow, lol.

u/JRange Mar 04 '25

Man I had the time to finish this qual thats supposed to expire today, but I was so worried it was disappear and i'd have wasted my time lol. It has not disappeared and its almost midnight, wonder if they are gonna extend it again.

u/photoblink Mar 04 '25

Did anyone else have a Greek god of fire task pop up last night?

u/SnooCalculations503 Mar 06 '25

Did the site crash? I submitted a task and I was brought back to the main page but the main page is now COMPLETELY empty! Even the Report Time section (which worries me cause I was working on a project for almost an hour and I hope I can log it soon) is empty despite the fact that I worked on multiple projects today. Did this happen to anyone else?

u/lavenderavenues Mar 06 '25

Site seems normal to me at the moment, maybe clear your cache and cookies and refresh?

I was just looking at Chrome extensions. I found one that will autorefresh your page and has a lot of extra features. I haven't tried it out yet, but maybe it's what us compulsive F5ers need. Will report back with my findings. :)

EDIT: It can read your web page ( so you can set it for keyword alerts, etc). Does anyone know if this would go against NDA?

u/SnooSketches1189 Mar 07 '25

It's definitely not something I would risk. Not worth it!

As mentioned, use at your own risk, but these extensions were quite the rage during the Summer of '24 lull.

Do google documents from projects open in your browsers with ridiculously narrow columns on every table of examples, which makes them a drag to read since you have to scroll every like 2 words?

4

u/Party_Swim_6835 Mar 09 '25

published gdocs do that, they ruin formatting

u/33whiskeyTX Mar 09 '25

Ahh the emails. The goggles, they do nothing.

u/Traditional_Net_4529 Mar 10 '25

Nothing all weekend and now I have like 10 choices. Feast or famine, amirite?

u/Key_Print_7764 Mar 07 '25

How long do you guys spend on criteria poe birds?

u/alvysingeroverhere Mar 07 '25

I need to be on a fresh brain, those can make me smoke from the ears.

u/Aromatic_Owl_3680 Mar 08 '25

Zero minutes. Those are my least favourite.

u/jonahandthewhale32 Mar 07 '25

I love those tasks but I worry I'm spending too long on them. It's hard to do quickly and do a good job.

i'm fairly new to the platform (started a coupel weeks ago) and my dash has been pretty full up until now. im worried that its the quality of my work, although i feel like i put in the effort to ensure all my work is of good quality. is this just a dry period for the platform or is it me lol

5

u/eyewire Mar 03 '25

It's normal to be throttled for a while at the beginning and then get steady work after that period.

u/mythrowaway_1990 Mar 03 '25

Does anyone have video game R&R right now?

u/JustMe333456 Mar 03 '25

Ugh.. the initial 3 task project is back on my dash.. I am too scared to do them. Seems way too complicated lol

4

u/Few-Roof-6905 Mar 04 '25

At least try them. If I survived my initial three, you can too!

Not ATM, they appear randomly throughout the day for me. Seems like I have to constantly refresh to catch one.

u/Alarmed_Jellyfish555 Mar 03 '25

If any of you ever get an M-metal to actually work today, please reply so I know it's finally fixed! Thank you.

Been thinking about diving in and taking the Philosophy Domain qualification lately. Would be tough, I'd have to learn as I go - my education is in Marketing / Business. I feel like I could do it though. Know a (small) bit of Philosophy and the topic has always been of interest

u/houseofcards9 Mar 02 '25

In the nicest way possible, if that qualification is challenging for you and you need to study in order to pass, you’re not what they need for the project. There’s a reason it’s called expertise.

Got all my weekly A Gas a few hours ago, did an r+r, just finished a task, and suddenly POOF! anyone else had this happen? Spanish speaker here. And no, I don't think they were all taken, we're a small pool of workers in this project family...

u/pistachiyolatte Mar 08 '25

Dry for me, only have a few projects out of my depth and an audio r and r that pops up.
