The flip side of this is how many people are wrongly locked out of their gmail. I bet there's quite a few of them that failed to satisfy whatever filters Google put in place.
They can't just go there and live. I assume most of the gringos there are legal? Yet somehow Americans uniquely tolerate illegal border crossing and illegal overstaying. (Not American myself)
We're talking about monitors here, which usually have a mouse cursor on it for input. Of course it would be hard to tell between 60 vs 120Hz screens if you used both to play a 30FPS video.
That's what you get for the low cost of entry. When most customers are self-signup (and probably low margin) there's no individual responsible for them.
Good in that you never have to speak to a salesperson, bad in that there will be no-one to take care of you if things go sideways.
It's hard to say on one hand "I use mmap because I don't want fancy APis for every read" and on the other "I want to do something useful on page fault" because you don't want to make every memory read a possible interruption point.
Yes. The EU focuses on safety of pedestrians, and the US focuses on safety of occupants. That's not to say a vehicle cannot do both well (see the many European vehicles sold in the US), but that is to say Chinese vehicles may not meet the US standards. The US has a lot of vehicle regulations that significantly differ from the EU market.
Because, as a EU citizen, I have never in my life seen any tests that carmarkers are advertising with that focus on pedestrians. I am regularly seeing tests that focus on occupants though, e.g. the Euro NCAP. But I am by no means an expert.
It would be hard to focus on pedestrian safety from a carmaker standpoint except for adding software features that recognize people in front of you and auto-brake or smth, which definitely is not the focus of the tests here. It may be a requirement though. The more I think about it, the more sure I am that you just made this up, sorry.
Pedestrian impact design has been a thing in the European market for a while. One example: the pop-up hood that detects a pedestrian impact, it's a pyrotechnic device that makes the hood pop up to give more of a cushion for the pedestrian to land on. Also I think pedestrian safety is one reason modern BMWs and Audis have the timing chains (very annoyingly for maintenance) fitted at the back of the engine, to give more space for pedestrian impact. Stuff like that. Also the automated emergency braking systems, more recently.
You can look at the Euro NCAP ratings for the 2023 BYD Seal, for example: https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/byd/seal/50012. They break down the rating based on safety for adult occupants, child occupants and pedestrians. These ratings are based on many different crash tests.
