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").

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:

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).
