I'm genuinely curious about this - my best guess is there may be some measurement on the manager's employee retention numbers or similar that would make the manager look bad to have an employee quit.

As others have mentioned there is a large Intel fab (and other smaller fabs) in the area. I suspect this gives them insights into the feasibility of success there and also means there is an existing talent pool to draw from. It basically de-risks the investment. There are probably only a handful of likely places to do this - OR, CA, AZ, TX, maybe NY. Intel building in OH is more difficult from a bootstraping perspective.

Reasonably similar and slightly easier to find is Chestnut Crab - Moore's Orchard in Pomfret grows them.

For anyone with trouble remembering/conceptualizing this - it follows the opposite convention as bitwise operators in javascript, so it is counter-intuitive.

Although not a direct answer to 'when would you not wear a mask anymore' there are objective criteria guiding some of the decision making around phased re-openings (of which some phase would be "no more masks").

Example Criteria: https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/covid-19/data/~/media/de...

Emergent gameplay perhaps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergent_gameplay

I'm probably in the minority and actually liked the animation - I think it represents the spastic, thoughtless, throw-away nature of (most) twitter messages.

Sorry you're feeling discontent. I've written some advice on this in the past and am linking to it here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1843266

No matter where you go and what you end up doing, businesses ebb and flow and your interests and motivations will also change and you will find yourself here again.

The key is for you to build an internal toolset (mental, emotional) to assess and proactively work towards your goals.

You mentioned that you would rather be outside, meeting people and creating things - there are absolutely jobs that incorporate both software and these other aspects - think of things like greenhouse automation (outside) or positions writing software for coffee shops or ?? There is an entire world of software.

Good luck!

Some ideas:

Could you turn it into a white label app and sell it to businesses for their own internal use or to other entrepreneurs?

Could you find a niche that needs this sort of app with certain features tailored to their needs. Example: Auction software (general idea) made specifically for buying/selling live aquarium fish (custom/niche).

I'd really like to see topic-based threads of submissions here, or tag-based grouping. Even if this lives at the top of the active topics list, it would consolidate and give other topics room on the front page.

I believe there are ways to both accommodate extensive discussion on the breaking / on-going news as well as keeping space for the core HN topics (hacking, CS, entrepreneurship, etc).

I agree about not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, however what prevents other Uber-like competitors from popping up to compete with the evil-Uber you describe?

How do you capture the market in taxi rides in an unregulated market? It isn't like a telecom where there is only so much physical infrastructure.

My advice is to focus on learning aspects of software engineering at the expense of learning computer science.

Specifically I would focus on: requirements engineering, software architecture, software testing, and software deployment... Working with people (communication, management, working with non-technical customers), processes for developing software, and how to measure and analyze the software product and the software process[1]

Thanks! I've never played minecraft, I was just wondering if maybe the distinction is between sandbox and simulation? I'm probably getting the terms wrong but the games do seem very different in their goals and how they engage the player.

Out of curiosity do you like other sandbox games like simcity or dwarf fortress?

Around the end of summer there was a post on just this topic. I can't find it now but it had really solid practices in this area. If anyone remembers it / finds it I'd love to be able to read it again.

Interesting question. According to this site: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Sales between 1993-1999 Doom and Doom II sold a combined 4 million units (gross over $120 million worldwide). Not sure what they made from licensing.

AMD licenses the right to produce x86 compatible chips from Intel.

I'm not affiliated with this product but it looks like the remote you're talking about: https://www.flipperremote.com/

We need more of this kind of conversation at HN - identify a problem or pain point and talk about how to meet that need.

I think the best reason for wanting to do this is that the rover's top speed is around 2in / second, it requires significant man power on the earth to drive/control, and they have a limited toolset with few ways to augment what it starts with. Over the course of 6 years the two rovers had only covered 13 miles collectively.

All of these things can be overcome with time, money, science, engineering, etc.

In the short term, for a relatively large amount of money -OR- the acceptance of deaths, we can put a human on that same surface who can cover miles per day, autonomously explore and discover, use new tools as soon as they arrive, can deal with unexpected circumstances, and make suggestions about what would be useful to have to do more science/work.

All that said - it is hard issue and I think it more likely a commercial effort will send a human before the government.

Perhaps this is the thinking behind many of the Software Engineering degrees? They typically focus on requirements gathering, architecture, process, and business integration with less focus on the nitty gritty of sorting algorithms or how compilers work.

Also back to front is usually done in cohorts - not a truly sorted stream of people. You end up with the people in seats 36 waiting to get around people in seats 32 just because they are in the same group.
