Professor Zittrain provides an excellent overview of the emerging field of "Ubiquitous Human Computing" in a recent [http://drop.io/cyberlaw_winter10/asset/ssrn-id1140445-pdf paper]. For the purposes of this course, focus on the paper's discussion of "fungible networked brainpower" as exemplified by Amazon Mechanical Turk, LiveOps and InnoCentive. Alternatively, these core ideas are expressed in video form [http://bigthink.com/jonathanzittrain/the-long-and-silent-subway-ride-of-the-future here].

Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) [http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome product] is the simplest ubiquitous human computing model currently available. It provides a marketplace for "Human Intelligence Tasks" (HITs), which are typically large collections of simple and repetitive tasks that nonetheless require a human mind to complete. The HITs are necessarily limited in scope because their maximum price is $10.

Pre-Course Assignment: Mechanical Turk (Daniel Arbix)

[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ where to buy vape pens under 18 ],
I have signed up to Mechanical Turk as a Brazilian citizen (not all HIT opportunities were available, then). I have tried to explore different tasks to check the diversity the platform offers for workers. There are some amusing tasks to be performed, but most – against the website’s Participation Terms –, are boring schemes to distort internet advertisement payments or to gather active e-mails (for spam or worse, I presume). There are also numerous HITs which demand fake reviews of products and websites, or which require “turks” to show support to social-networking profiles or events, and even to write posts in blogs making compliments to the blog owner’s clever analyses. A short summary of my experiences follows.
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ can i vape in public ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ can you bring a vape on the plane ],
''1st try'': bad page design, no $
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ can you vape tincture ],
I saw a task as available, was able to follow the instructions and actually perform it on a third party website, but then I realized that the event that would trigger a confirmation number required for my payment had already expired, so of course no payment was made to my account. This was the first contact I had with HITs designed to redirect traffic to earn advertisement revenues (it was described as “a test for page load time, very easy, for USD 2.00”).
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ does vape smoke leave residue ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how do you make vape juice ],
''2nd try'': the second HIT I tried had the following misleading instructions:
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how long do vape coils last ],
* "This HIT is an easy to complete 'sign up' assignment. It shouldn't take you longer than 2 minutes to complete. Many thanks for your time! Simply go to: http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=633&id=93282  Sign up. Then send a print screen of your confirmation email to: mark.studentearnings@gmail.com and write your username and approximate time of sign up in the box below"
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how long to charge vape battery ],
The site redirected me to http://www.offersclick.co.uk/offers/SiteRender.aspx?SiteID=501&ThemeID=21&q14259=AFW&q26274=93282  Again, it seems like arbitrage of internet advertisement revenues…
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how many mg of nicotine in vape juice ],
It was impossible to complete the task within the assigned time – the form-filling advertisements website took too much to load –, so I returned the HIT (and received no $, in spite of losing a lot of time)
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how many puffs on a vape equals a cigarette ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how often should i vape ],
''3rd try'': the HIT had the following description:
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how to blow vape rings ],
* "Complete free online quote form. MUST BE 18 OR OLDER AND LIVE IN USA TO COMPLETE THIS HIT Visit Site - Enter Name and Email - Takes less than a minute. IMPORTANT: Eligible only to those who have not yet signed up to this offer. Please don't use disposable e-mails as well. Let's keep this site honest.  INSTRUCTION:  1) To get started, visit this website:  http://www.aislezone.com/mturk-offer02.php  2) Select make, model and enter zip code. Click "get quotes"  3) Complete the form and click on "get free dealer quotes" REQUIRED PROOF: On activation confirmation copy/paste or type full text to the box below starting with : "Sent!..." "
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how to build your own coils for vape ],
The time-description was fair, and I received payment after two days. I also (stupidly) provided my real Stanford e-mail, with the result of getting my mailbox now filled by car dealers messages. Again, the HIT seems like arbitrage of internet advertisement revenues.
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how to get rid of burnt taste in vape ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ how to make cannabis vape oil ],
''4th try'': the HIT had the following description:
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ can you smoke hash in a vape ],
* "Data Collection-Google Results  Reward: $1.25 per HIT  Insert address, perform google searches and indicate first result"
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape canada ],
This HIT was an honest one, requiring a verification of search results (Google), all related to the same company. Time description was fair, and my $ arrived a day later.
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop calgary ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ toronto vape ],
''5th try'': the HIT had the following description:
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop edmonton ],
* "Rate faces of candidates running for office.  Usually takes less than 5 minutes.  You can find the survey here:  http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/207922/faces3  At the end of the survey, you'll find a code. To get paid, please enter the code below:"
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vaporizer canada ],
This was a fun, quick HIT. It had a fair time description, and payment was received after a day. I was, however, a terrible subject for the MIT social psychology survey, since most pictures to be rated are of Brazilian politicians…
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop toronto ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop vancouver ],
== LiveOps ==
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape store toronto ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop canada ],
LiveOps's [http://www.liveops.com marketplace] is a step up from AMT because it carefully selects those that can perform tasks. Out of 3500 candidates to become a LiveOps worker each week, LiveOps only selects 50-75 after a test and an interview.
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop montreal ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape calgary ],
Patrick McKenna, founder of LiveOps but no longer with the company, has outlined what he believes draws each party to LiveOps. Workers desire (1) access to work, (2) control over their own work schedules, and (3) independance. McKenna believes that the most important factor to workers in their schedule flexibility. Also very important to the worker is the lack of setup and takedown time - there is no LiveOps equivalent to the unpaid commute to and from work. There is also no LiveOps equivalent to the real-world workplace expenses of gas, work clothes and workplace eating. McKenna believes that the average LiveOps worker make $9 an hour, but that this amount is equivalent to earning $16/hour in a job involving the aforementioned expenses.
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape stores calgary ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop winnipeg ],
McKenna believes that work providers are drawn to LiveOps primarily because of its flexibility and capacity to maximize productivity from their workers. Work providers are also able to avoid costs associated with the real-world workplace - office space, setup and takedown time, etc. - LiveOps employers only pay for work when it is actually being done. The flexibility offered by LiveOps allows for work providers to quickly vary the size of their workforce - they do not need to keep a "reserve" of employees that are paid with no work to do in order to handle spikes in workforce needs.
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop online canada ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape juice canada ],
== InnoCentive ==
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape edmonton ],
 
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape pen canada ],
InnoCentive's [http://www.innocentive.com/ marketplace] is again a step up from LiveOps in terms of complexity of its tasks and skills needed to complete them. InnoCentive's asks its workers to solve minor scientific problems posed by its work suppliers. InnoCentive offers its workers large awards, including awards of $1,000,000 for some solutions. InnoCentive refers to its work providers and workers as "seekers" and "solvers", respectively.

*<b>American Business Law Journal: The Information Revolution and its Impact on the Employment Relationship: An Analysis of the Cyberspace Workplace</b>
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vapes canada ],
**<i>This is a fantastic survey paper on the many issues raised with employment law in combination with cyber-workers.</i>
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape store vancouver ],
**This article seems to assume that cyberworkers will still be working in the United States, but this seems like an unrealistic assumption
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape montreal ],
**Written in 2003, around the time LiveOps launched (2000)
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape stores edmonton ],
**Citation: 40 AMBLJ 301
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop hamilton ],
**Section II of this article examines how working over the internet blurs/challenges current law about the employee/contractor distinction.  
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape canada free shipping ],
***"Under the right-of-control test, an employee is not an independent contractor if the employer has the ability to control the time, method, and manner of employment"
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape online canada ],
**Section IV of this article examines how cyber-working affects non-compete agreements and copyright considerations (such as works-for-hire)
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ cheap e juice canada ],
***"The Internet exacerbates this tension by raising previously unheard of issues in drafting and enforcing non-compete agreements."
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vapours canada ],
***Work-for-hire: How does UbiComp affect the work-for-hire test established by Creative Non-Violence v. Reid? ( 490 U.S. 730 (1989) )
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop halifax ],
**Section V - Employment Regulation
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop london ],
***A: The Burlington/Faragher sexual harassment standard is not clear when applied to cyber-workers
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shops regina ],
****"The Ninth Circuit held that remoteness will not dilute an employee's obligation to report sexual harassment."
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ winnipeg vape shops ],
***C: Family Medical Leave Act - depends on employee/independent contractor distinction
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ calgary vapor ],
***D: Workers Compensation
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop surrey ],
***E: Fair Labor Standards Act
[https://valkyrieextractions.ca/ vape shop red deer ]
***F: The National Labor Relations Act
***G: The Occupational Safety & Health Act
**Conclusions
***For employee/contractor distinction, "courts must use the existing and long-standing right-of-control test, but apply it with sensitivity to the unique characteristics of Internet-enabled workplaces."
***As courts evolve toward the Zippo sliding scale, they must set some standard of how much contact remote employment creates between the employee's forum state and the employer.
***Agencies need to adopt specific regulation to deal with cyberworkers
***"When regulatory guidance is insufficient, the legislature must act"
****Congress must clarify how unions can organize and communicate in cyberspace in order to protect labor and management rights.
 
*Case study: Amazon's Mechanical Turk may violate employment/tax laws because the employee-employer relationship is between the requester and the worker [http://behind-the-enemy-lines.blogspot.com/2009/07/is-amazon-mechanical-turk-black-market.html]
 
== Potential Difficult Problems in the Future ==
 
* What if UbiComp is used for political lobbying?
** In general, any mass movement could be created using UbiComp
* Could employees "outsource" their own work using UbiComp? [http://webchicanery.com/2009/06/20/4-minute-work-week/]
