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.

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.

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).

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/).

I've never heard of a tsunami on that side of the Atlantic. At least none are listed there, regarding the french Atlantic coast:

Does it matter if the one french reactor at the shore of the Atlantic wasn't safe against tsunamis?

But also Aol, Huffington Post, Engadget, Techcrunch...
I'm hearing it's because their DNS is down, and I think all of Oath's online properties.

Moving furniture around because you don't have a 3m x 3m space free all the time is tiring and a major pain point for me (I own a vive, I don't re-setup everytime though I do change the boundaries & optimal furniture placement sometimes)

FileReader is not related to an image tag loading its image, it's a javascript API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FileReader
So attacker would still need to have some javascript loaded somewhere for it to work. If electron app displays user-generated content, XSS can help run a javascript payload, however.
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...
