@rotfarm @revengeday That's not how that works. Because physics, water ice requires a stupid amount of energy to melt, many orders of magnitude more than the radiative or exhaust heat of a car passing by. To melt some amount of ice (just to melt it, so it's still at 0C but now liquid) takes about as much heat as heating the same amount of liquid water to 80C would take. (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion )

De-icing of roads works exclusively by salt lowering water's freezing point.

Chicago-area Tesla charging stations are lined with dead cars and have essentially turned into car graveyards as temperatures have dropped to the negative double digits: “A bunch of dead robots out here” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chicago-area-tesla-charging-stations-024817227.html
Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold: 'A bunch of dead robots out here'

Many Chicago-area Tesla owners were visibly frustrated on Monday after their electric vehicles failed to charge amid freezing temperatures.

Here is another case where the Unified Patent Court has declined to grant a provisional injunction, not being convinced that the patent is infringed. It is striking that the prosecution history (specifically the claim wording before amendment during prosecution) is used as a guide to claim meaning.
It will be interesting whether patentees go on with an action on the merits having lost substantively at this stage.

"Common Lisp is not a beautiful crystal of programming language design. It's a scruffy workshop with a big pegboard wall of tools, a thin layer of sawdust on the floor, a filing cabinet in the office with a couple of drawers that open perpendicular to the rest, [...]"

"This historical baggage is a price paid to ensure Common Lisp had a future."

Thought experiment: how hard would it be to implement ActivityPub over ATProto? The answer might surprise you!
