i associate W2 status with an increased likelihood of getting benefits and job security (yes, i know what at-will employment is).
dajohnson89··on How elephants avoid cancer (2015)
Is there a big list of things a human can do, to reduce/minimize their risk of getting cancer? "dont smoke" is obvious but a lot of chemicals/behaviors are less well understood in terms of cancer risk.
dajohnson89··on To remember everything you learn, surrender to this algorithm (2008)
I believe that specific form is called a limerick.

dajohnson89··on Shitbowl: The algorithmically powered in-home physical caching platform

could you list some example technologies that exhibit these issues?

OK. And is there any basic foundation for starting, that enables one to understand Heidegger well? Some kind of primer for continental philosophy?

dont forget the automobile lobby fighting mass transit.
dajohnson89··on U.S. contributes 5 times more ocean plastic than previous estimates
not sure how common horses are in africa, even before colonialization. garbage wasnt as plentiful back then either.
dajohnson89··on U.S. contributes 5 times more ocean plastic than previous estimates
having garbage trucks that come reliably costs money and infrastructure that often isn't there.

"afterwork study" for work sounds like "work" to me.
dajohnson89··on Digital Money Across Borders: Macro-Financial Implications
to be fair, crypto purchases have a high incidence of chargeback fraud. this is expensive for banks.

edit: i chuckled at the little britain reference :)

dajohnson89··on 76% of American CEOs say they may shrink office space
I'd love to hear your precise rationale on the financial side.
dajohnson89··on A Coronavirus Vaccine Could Kill Half a Million Sharks, Conservationists Warn
agreed but the article says that nonanimal sources are more expensive than sharks. so research isn't what's needed, but rather (arguably) things like state provided incentives.
dajohnson89··on I sold my side-project for $30k
i think op is more worried about his data's privacy than whether the app complies with facebook's TOS.
dajohnson89··on Who to ignore – bullshit filters
The huge header image led me to expect some commentary on COVID-19 coverage in the media, which indeed would have been interesting to read. But the article doesnt really talk about that issue in particular. Are we supposed to make some inference as readers? It's confusing.

edit: after looking at the headlines more closely, it seems that it's commentary on early media reports of coronavirus being no more deadly than the flu. Not sure if that is clear-cut bullshit, rather than just uninformed reporting... or maybe they're the same thing :)

dajohnson89··on Skyscraper design combines cryptocurrency mining with vertical water park

dajohnson89··on Del.icio.us
adding rss feeds to (say) google reader doesn't require technical expertise. email newsletters require your email address, which is obviously prone to abuse and spam. newsletters aren't the new rss, but rather an arguably inferior replacement.
dajohnson89··on Principles for great product managers
i can't provide any advice, but could you share what makes you sick of software development?

btw maybe not having a masters degree is an impediment in your pm job search. most devs don't have one nor need one but i suspect as with other management roles, there's a higher perceived need for an advanced degree.
