Nate Silver is a perfect reason why you need to read "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics: The Manipulation of Public Opinion in America" https://www.amazon.com/Lies-Damn-Statistics-Manipulation-Opinion/dp/0393331490

Was required to read it in my college statistics class.

I think that is where statistics are very wrong. He said he's done a bunch of HITs that only take a few seconds. And then when you couple that with HITs that take a few minutes and pay big, then you get the average that you're talking about. I do the same thing sometimes. I'll HIT a batch that pays OK that takes a short amount of time, and then I'll get a batch that pays $2.00 that takes me 5 minutes to do.


If you want someone to tell you who those people are and what requirements you need, you won't get very far. You have to find them. It's a turk-eat-turk world. We're all trying to make good money. HWTF and those type of forums are mostly for surveys that you can only complete one HIT for. If someone knows a good batch..... I'm sorry to say that the less people that know about it, the better.

TL:DR Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics OR Damned Lies and Statistics

A bunch of fairy land assumptions counts as science these days? How's lowering tax rates working out for Kansas?
