Today, I want to talk about a topic that is very close to my heart: how to deal with rejection. If you are a turker, you know how frustrating it can be when your work gets rejected by a requester. You spend hours completing a task, only to receive a message saying that your work did not meet the quality standards, or that you failed an attention check, or that you violated some obscure rule. Sometimes, you don't even get a reason at all. You just see a big red "Rejected" on your dashboard. Rejection hurts. It makes you feel like you wasted your time and effort. It makes you doubt your skills and abilities. It makes you wonder if you are cut out for this kind of work. It can also affect your income and your reputation. Rejection lowers your approval rate, which can limit your access to more lucrative and interesti...

The match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 17, 2023 was one of the most exciting games of the TATA IPL 2023 season.

How high ETH price will go this year?

  The price of Ethereum(ETH) has supassed USD 1K. Congrats to the ETH holders.    But that's not all. Even though you did good job at buying and waiting, you have one   more step to take - selling. What is your target price of ETH?  If I were you, I would start to sell ETHs from  $1,887.  Actually the target price is $2,358. But I recommend you start selling from the 80% of the price.  These numbers are all from Coinmarket cap.  3 years ago, the price of ETH was $1,366 meanwhile BTC was $13,771. And the market cap of ETH was about 57.3% of BTC's market cap. At the moment, ETH market cap is just 20% of BTC. It means that there will be enough room for ETH to go high. I want to project the target market cap somewhat conservatively because there are new coins like Polkadot and Chainlink. So I assume that the market cap ratio will be about 46%. And dividing the market cap by the amount of ETH circulated, the target price is $2,358.  You, ETH ...
