Do an s/racist/homophobic/ and you have a justification for being a jerk to muslim immigrants.

Ethnic Germans are just as much a threat to LGBT people than fanatic Muslims are, and it's not just the former GDR where reactionary and fascist attitudes bloom. I had to spend half a year in the ass cracks of Niederbayern... not something I'd like to repeat. People openly talking "something like that (i.e. LGBT) wouldn't have been a thing under Hitler" over their beers or someone shouting Sieg and the full pub respo…

I know better that this is not true since i experience first-hand that wehrabooism and homosexuality (including mine) are living by each other with no issues. What you are doing is scaremongering against some group.

Having lived there for a decade, I must point out that you are painting a very one sided picture of the region. It's also a hot spot for Germany's populist right. I've witnessed visiting Indian colleagues of mine being threatened on the street for having dark skin and racist demonstrations are a weekly occurrence. I eventually moved away (among other reasons) because I didn't want my kids to grow up in this environme…

> I've witnessed visiting Indian colleagues of mine being threatened on the street for having dark skin and racist demonstrations are a weekly occurrence. So, like the US?

The US is a very homogeneous country. I live in a very liberal part of it.

There are probably places with similar problems although I can't name any. Can you?

Sort of incredible that Germany is getting decade old technology for this much investment.

They require functional safety. Certification can be very expensive and take a long time. What seems old within the consumer electronics market isn’t necessarily old within the automotive industry.

For those unfamiliar with the region (Saxony, Dresden): A registered association ( e.V. in German) bluntly named "Silicon Saxony e.V." (est. in 2000) with over 450 members headquartered in Dresden pretty much sums up the infrastructure and ambition.[0][1] As pointed out the process TSMC’s 28/22 nanometer planar CMOS and 16/12 nanometer FinFET process technology (fabrication will begin in 2027) is not "cutting edge" b…

In the last 50 years US never had anything on their border.

Even if they did, it wouldn't change much. 1. Nobody would launch nukes domestically, so moot point. 2. Using nukes internationally would be a faux-pas beyond fixing. Every modern, nuclear-equipped nation understands this. 3. The United States doesn't need nuclear weaponry to dispel invaders, or even to retaliate against foreign attacks. Their nuclear weapons exist to deter other nuclear superpowers from using their…

Absolutely agreed. The US military is so well funded and capable that they could finish the job without needed to resort to nukes.

I've lived in Texas for 30 years and I've haven't seen anything like what you see in Europe in terms of racist demonstrations and blatantly racist political organizations. The few weeks of my life I spent in Germany felt far more discriminatory. There is nothing like the AfD in the US. The funny thing is while Racist Xenophobia is a huge issue, there is a ton of Xenophobia against various eastern europeans as well.

Left leaning and racist aren't mutually exclusive.

While your statement, put that generally, is certainly true, i wonder if you're familiar with leftism in Germany or in Europe in general (honest question). Antiracism and Antifascism are almost part of the core DNA of many of these circles or at least their self-perception. Doesn't mean that they necessarily live up it, of course. However, the term "left" means something quite different in Europe than compared to the…

Shooting down the Chinese ballon and arming Ukraine with long range weapons aren't potentially acts of provocation against nuclear powers? Reverse the roles. American ballon. Mexico getting armed against the US by a foreign superpower and sworn enemy. Would the US tolerate those acts?

> Would the US tolerate those acts? Yes? What about their nuclear policy from the past half-century convinces you otherwise?

Doesn’t the US make regular use of depleted uranium munitions? Particularly in the middle east?

Definitely seems nuclear.

I think AI is an afterthought here, if at all. Automotive is the main target and to a degree IoT. They couldn't build cars during the pandemic due to broken supply chains, that's when their lightbulb went on afaik.

But isn't a lot of modern automotive all about ai? Stuff like image recognition on camera's and sensors, error prediction, data-aggregation and, in future, self-driving?

Most of the stuff in a car could run on a 6502. The rest will run on something akin to the NXP i.MX8. Not at all cutting edge, but more than sufficient.

It is more than fast enough to process input from sensors and it has hardware support for video.
