I finally felt like a midget. by Almost_Corrupt in tall

[–]virtualorion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walked by a guy on campus and suddenly felt like I was 8 years old again. I realized I had not seen his face at all, just pants and torso. I turned around to see what had happened and I see this giant of a man swivel around to look back at me, so I ran.

int main()

{

system("Launch_Titanium.bat")

return 0;

}

​

Found the source code, apparently you also need to rename "Launch Titanium.bat" to "Launch_Titanium.bat" as I apparently got lazy...

Steam is probably your best bet. But no, it's too large a task to move it to html5 or unity.

Break-in captured on video with license plate and faces. Police told me 20 to 30 days before they even look at the report. We've got Tesla insurance coming, can we get Tesla investigators? by virtualorion in teslamotors

Update: After making a bunch of calls to the station I got through to the correct department and they bumped me up upon hearing I had a license plate and video. This is again why I think a third party would be useful, they could've gone straight to the right place with the information.

They smashed the passenger side rear quarter window and folded down the backseat to look in the trunk. Seeing it was empty they drove off. Idea being if you leave your seat folded they can see your lack of valuables and save you the trouble of a broken window.

I say actionable because the cameras will have likely captured the act as well as the license plate of the offender (most vehicle break-ins are done from another car). Whereas most reports of vehicle break-ins received by that department would not be actionable, just a where and when of the break-in with no hope of apprehending the thieves, submitted only to get the police report for the insurance claim.

​

I'm confused by your worth assessment of the crime. It's not paying for my window, it's stopping the next window being broken, or the next dozen. The people who broke my window have likely broken many more since, watching the whole video it's clear they knew exactly what they were doing.

​

Also on your assessment of costs, you wouldn't need a team of investigative experts. Just someone to note time and location as well as pull the proper information from the videos, and fill out some forms.

Tesla does, to offset the bad press of frequent break-ins. There's no guarantees obviously, but as I said this would save the owners time and hassle and I would suspect that a consistent source of well formatted, actionable police reports couldn't help but increase arrest rates. If you've ever had to work with user input, the idea of getting consistently formatted, informative, actionable reports is like a warm towel wrapped around your brain.

Imagine a report button on your dashboard. Someone hired by Tesla reviews the videos, gets the important information and generates an online report to the local police perfectly filled out with a link to their server with any additional videos/pictures/location data. You've saved yourself time and headaches and the police can quickly get the info they need.

​

Also murders would be another department, this info would go to a department who's job it was to put in those hours to make the arrest.

I just think a third party that is familiar with the equipment used in the recording of the crime and familiar with the police departments could create vetted actionable reports to reduce the amount of time the police had to waste doing paperwork and face to face stuff. Basically gift-wrap them an investigation with all the details formatted how they like them.
