- _heimdall 2y ago> reimagined as a parking lot Oh I'm sure it was a few people staring at designs for the new campus only for one person to realize, "...but it could be a parking lot!"

- Dalewyn 2y agoTo be clear, that Waste Of Money(tm) which was cancelled 1.5 years ago[1] is at most tangentially related to the fab being discussed in this article. [1]: https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/18/intel_israeli_research/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/18/intel_israeli_researc...
- Dylan16807 2y agoAt such a big distance away yeah it's barely related. On the other hand if they built something like that next to the fab I wouldn't call it a waste of money. It would be less than 1% of the budget to make things nicer for employees.
