I don't know the first thing about your wife's case. Was she also arrested because a lazy cop thought he had a magic wand, and didn't bother doing even a cursory investigation before making an arrest? Obviously the ACLU didn't think what happened to her was equivalent.

You're entitled to your opinion.

What the hell does this have to do with anything? Seriously? What did you think that would contribute to the conversation?

It absolutely floors me that you're so Laissez-faire about this, having had someone so close to you go through it. If that were my wife I'd be camped in the Sherriff's office until that shit was taken down and a formal apology written. Especially if it were the result of them neglecting to do the bare minimum of what's expected of them.

I completely understand "shit happens". Sometimes you're just at the wrong place at the wrong time. That's not even in the same realm as what happened here. If you're comfortable being arrested because a computer thought a cellphone picture of computer screen showing a security camera image of a person kinda looked like you, we're probably never going to see eye to eye on this one.

Yes. For that. And for the fact that this man's name will forever be in news articles as "Arrested for Child Abduction" because a lazy cop didn't bother checking his shoddy work. Nobody ever gives a shit about the retraction, if one is ever printed. (And, full disclosure, I could not find any articles of this guy around the time of the arrest. I have no clue if there are/were any. But just because it didn't happen THIS time, there will be others if this kind of negligence is allowed to continue.)

So when a lazy cop doesn't even do a bother to do a cursory check of their "work", and now my name is plastered all over the Internet as a child abductor, I'm supposed to just bend over, take it up the ass, and be "well, sometimes that happens." Fuck that noise. Did you read the article I linked? That lady spent months in jail before the police acknowledged they fucked up. Are we willing to "that happens" that one too?

Yes, sometimes the wrong person gets arrested. Yes, it's always going to be happen. When it happens because of gross negligence it needs to be dealt with, harshly. I am a full supporter of law enforcement. I may be a liberal, but the ACAB type stuff is just bullshit. But I'm sure not going to pretend that shitty cops doing shitty cop things "happens sometimes", and should be handwaved away as an minor inconvenience.

That's a listed "goal", not something they have done. Do you have information claiming they have built their own power generation systems?

Finally, some truth from you. You don't understand the issue. Batteries heat up during discharge.

So a completely normal cop.

Nothing to see here, move along.

He was arrested, finger-printed, had a mug shot taken, probably had his name printed in newspapers, all associated with being accused of child abduction. Are YOU willing to have your name in the newspaper accusing you of abducting a pre-teen? The fact that you went out of your way to check the "post Anonymously" box tells us all we need to know. And the lady in the article I linked spent MONTHS in detention for a crime she had nothing to do with. How's that sound to you?

So, I say this with a all the conviction I can muster: Fuck off, troll.

100%. The lady in the article I linked spent a number of MONTHS incarcerated. I can't even imagine.

These systems are *NOT* infallible... my bad.

I hope this guy gets a good 7-8 figure settlement out of the people involved in this, and it leads other agencies to pause a bit before more people's lives are upended by lazy police departments. These systems are infallible, people using them as such need to feel the pain.

It is not cross-API compatible because it is an API. It's implemented on multiple platforms and it's only supported on platforms it's implemented for.

Also, you seem to be forgetting there are a lot of API specific functions functions: e.g. vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR, vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR, vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR, vkCreateXlibSurfaceKHR.

ICE can randomly break while you're driving for no reason. That's how mechanical system work: they do until they don't.

Why would you think that a discharging battery would be anything but warm? Do you not know that batteries put off heat when discharging?

For spite, obviously.

The problem is improperly managed (damage/overcharge/etc) cells self-inflate to become what what the internet refers to as a spicy pillow. If they have eliminated the possibility of creating a spicy pillow then I have overstated the danger. However, so long as battery damage results in thermal runaway that causes a total carbecue then it they need to keep pushing toward making it entirely solid-state. ICE has a higher chance of carbecues but facts be damned, people are sufficiently stupid to hold onto that concern.

When a battery can be damaged without presenting a damage to the car then the battery is sufficiently safe.

What you are describing is how ICE fails not how that is not EVs fail. Honestly, you just made an argument against using ICE.
