All sound is vibration, so everything is affected by sound at some point as the vibrations propagate through and physically move around materials. Humans can hear because the audible frequency range moves receptors in human inner ears, and as you can imagine this isn't local to the ear, the whole brain will be affected (but biology has accounted for this). If you knock on wood that sound is audible in many frequencies--below human audible, audible and also above human audible (what we call 'ultrasound'). What is more dangerous generally is sustained noise at any frequency; lower frequency + high amplitude is one of the most harmful as that can physically push you.

> made them vote together across party lines

Ha, is that uniparty vote supposed to be something meaningful? If the government had true concerns, they could 1) be aired to the public and 2) other senators like Thomas Massie and Rand Paul would not be speaking against the ban.

People can change their views and minds. It's only a problem when you lie and pretend you didn't. Pres Biden signed the law and could suspend it now if he wanted, but he chose not to do it as it'd be contradictory to his own signing. And of course soon-to-be President Trump will get the credit for reverting it. Nobody cares about the details beyond those invested into politik.

I love it when people make this “nuke” argument because it tells you a lot more about them than it does about anything else. There are so many low information people out there, it’s a bit sad the state of education even in developed countries. There’s people trotting around the word “chemical” at things that are scary without understanding what exactly the word means, how it differs from the word mixture or anything like that. I don’t expect most people to understand the difference between a proton and a quark but at least a general understanding of physics and chemistry would save a lot of people from falling into the “world is magic and information is hidden away inside geniuses” mentality.

Most importantly platforms like RN substantially lower the barrier to entry for making mobile apps, and cross platform ones at that. Whenever you lower the barrier to entry to something you inevitably attract low quality, low effort content that can obviously damage the perception of the broader platform. Setting that aside however, the development agility that RN provides I think is priceless. Most apps don’t need maximum performance, or the usage of niche platform specific APIs and so the time you’d spend working with two standalone codebases can be reinvested in your actual product and not mental overhead.

There's never a guarantee but being a unanimous vote in the Senate and one of the few bipartisan things that can actually pass both houses, I'd say it's pretty likely it will pass in some manner.

I totally agree. That extra hour in the evening after work/wherever in the winters is actually quite pleasant, and having it artificially taken away when the clocks go back pretty is pretty gloomy.
