> ... versus what the rest of the 350 million people voted for

Are we talking about a different country than the USA? There's ~174 million potential voters in the US, 77 million voted republican vs 75 million voted democrat at the last presidential election (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1139763/number-votes-cas...)

So there's an about even population split that is in theory in support of those policies, versus the same amount of people against. Surely it's not "one state against what the rest of the country voted for" like you're suggesting...


This just feels like nitpicking over the exact numbers? At the end of the day, it's still cities/states representing some fraction of the country unilaterally deciding to override the immigration policies of the federal government.

No. That's not it at all. While Federal law is the supreme law of the land, it is enforced by the Federal government.

The several states and any municipalities within them are under no obligation to enforce Federal laws, just as the Federal government is under no obligation to enforce state and local laws.

Which is why the Federal government often ties funding to legislation, using the carrot of funding (and the stick of pulling such funding if states do not) to compel states to cooperate with the Federal government.

What's more, the Federal courts (including SCOTUS) have repeatedly ruled that the states are not required to enforce Federal law for the Federal government.

And no one is "unilaterally deciding to override the immigration policies of the federal government." In fact, state and local law enforcement have repeatedly been used to back up Federal agents executing those immigration policies.

No Federal law requires a state to enforce Federal immigration policies. And not enforcing a law outside of a law enforcement agency's jurisdiction (again Federal law is the jurisdiction of Federal government not state/local governments) isn't "overriding" anything.

You appear to be confused about the law and how it works in the US and the several states. Here are a few links to help straighten you out:

Be careful with this argument. Cops also don't have any "obligation" to stop crime, so if we take this argument to its logical conclusion, then it's fine (or at least, it's "not unilaterally overriding laws") for a cop to stand by while someone gets lynched.

You're just figuring that out now? You're 50 years late[0] for Warren v. District of Columbia (rape, assault and burglary) and 20 years late[1] for Castle Rock v. Gonzales (triple murder).

Maybe you should start paying attention?

Yes it is 'fine' for a cop to stand by while someone gets lynched. The supreme court ruled as such. They generally only have a duty to act if they've formed a special relationship, like having someone in their custody.


I think it is a stretch to conclude that because someone voted for Trump, they support all of his immigration policies. Some of the policies perhaps, but I think it is a matter of degree. Many viewed Biden (rightly or wrongly) as not enforcing the law at all.


I have a USB-C JBL speaker (Flip 5) which charges alright with a USB-C to USB-C cable (and USB-C charger), but only in one direction.

So sometimes I have to plug it, realize nothing is happening, unplug, flip the cable and plug it again for it to start charging.


o.O i never knew usb could even do that... honestly some good tip here.. how did u find that out ? i would of never guessed for newer usb this was a thing


That might be Firefox's Facebook container's fault. I don't like this behavior either, you lose the tab history and the ability to recover it, unfortunately.


User names are useful in a team context: when you see who created a file or who is currently modifying the file with you. Also when receiving the email invite to a team / project.

Otherwise, you'd have to display the full email, which isn't as readable.

Using social logins would definitely help in making the sign-up simpler (but I guess you still need it in the form if using email login option though).


The publish-subscribe/observer/mediator pattern is perfectly fine for state management, and doesn't need a framework. At most, a small-ish library, but you can also re-implement it yourself quite easily.

Reading your comment, I have the impression you took it as "there shouldn't be any state management necessary", instead of "state management doesn't need a framework" sense.


FWIW, Redux literally _is_ a pub-sub/observer pattern implementation :) And the Redux core library _is_ extremely small.

But, that led to the community building hundreds of addon libraries for the same sets of use cases, which is what led us to build our official Redux Toolkit package to simplify standard Redux usage patterns.


"State management is complex, so we used a framework to make things easier."

"Why use a widely popular, well-documented, battle-tested framework? Just have one of your senior devs build something over the weekend. This will definitely reduce complexity."

Like... I get what you're saying. But "build your own" is not a default answer for an extremely complicated software engineering topic (which, yes, state management is!)


Doing a visual comparison (tab flipping between https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans and https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans?query=open+sans&... , aligning the sample text exactly), I could notice some differences though:

- The 'g' character was changed, they are quite different

- For the regular (400) weight, Noto Sans is slightly bolder but also more compact

But you're definitely right, most character shapes look directly inherited from one to the other.

I wonder if the weight & letter spacing change can explain the reading speed differences, or if measurement error / random jitter is actually what explains the different average speed in the study between the two.


A feedback cancelling solution would probably increase latency however, so it would kill the 'low latency' claim if it was on by default. Definitely something needed to be switched on for problematic setups though, since the disadvantages would be outweighed greatly (not having feedback \ echo is a necessary feature).


It shouldn’t necessarily, you can find out how much of the speaker output ends up in the microphone input and compensate. I’m sure the models are more complicated to deal with echoes and distortion but the same approach should basically work: fit the filter offline, apply it online.


This one is about how they found out the link for the AstraZeneca vaccine: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/13/how-uk-docto...


On one of their picture, it shows 7 moons wide, which is probably a good approximation (6 lines of those 7 moon images does seem close to filling the area of the sensor in their pictured representation, if you then shift some moons when the sensor lines get shorter at the top and bottom).

So using your calculation it could be, approximately: 7*0.5° = 3.5° in FOV.


I don't know if there exist any other commercial store for Quest/Go than the Oculus Store, but for experimentations/betas, SideQuest is an example of how to play things that don't come from the store (https://sidequestvr.com/).


Sidequest currently requires a developer account which requires signing an NDA with Oculus/Facebook. It is basically sliding through the cracks at their mercy until they expand things (which they have announced but haven't fully detailed; they did say sideloaded apps will still go through a store approval censorship process, and I'm not sure about monetary cut).
