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

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:

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?

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... Work

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.

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 wi

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.
