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.

Because white nationalism is more and more becoming part of the mainstream. GOP is perfectly capable of hosting moderates and quazi-nazis at the same time.

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.

eh, modern ECUs, accident compute, etc are doing timing and tuning calculations in real time such that you need something a little more adequate. A 40mhz PowerPC CPU with an FPU, for example.

Aside from mandatory ADAS, most cars can definitely get away with "90s tech" but probably not "80s tech"

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.

Wonder if the Taiwanese govt at some point will step in and block these onshoring measures as a matter of national security. If countries are less reliant on manufacturing within Taiwan, its one less reason to stand up to Beijing's one China principle.

We are talking about potential WW3, and you are worried about world loosing 2 years of progress due to war. Currently, Samsung is 2-3 years behind and Intel is 3-4 years behind and the gap is shrinking as we approach EUV limit.

Millions of lives would be lost if not more if it will be a full scale war. A chip fab is nowhere the same level of importance to be even discussed on the table.

That's not how it works. There can be a lot of good people, but all you need is one in-your-face racist encounter to ruin your decade. It's like how even a rumor of a shark will keep you firmly on the beach.

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

How does this comment fly on HN? This person is basically calling all Muslim immigrants homophobes, which is so far from the truth.

I only ever see crying about racism in Dresden in the Media and on HN. Is this an actual thing or just something pushed up because victimhood is idolized too much? The blue collar workers here are diverse af.

Very mature way of saying it: "crying"...

Good flame-bait.

I don't believe this at all - the GOP is getting more and more diverse and there is no explicitly racist GOP policy. This is untrue for European ethno-nationalist parties. Sure there maybe a couple of closet ethno nationalist in the GOP but they would be thrown out if they said the stuff their Euro counterparts say in the open. There's also the fundamental reality that because of the 2 party system and the demographics of this country that the GOP could never become an ethnonationalist party. Maybe unless PoC become white supremacists themselves like the Chapelle show skit :D.

Isn't this a rampant problem across Europe thought? I went on a beach vacation with some French friends and was sort of stunned/apalled at the sort of non-stop "it is all the muslim/immigrants" fault talk.

In Europe it's the muslims, in the US it's the mexicans, in $place it's $group.

French people are known to be rather nationalist though (In the same way US Americans are), but a rampant problem? I have to disagree, it's just like the rest of the world, people need their scapegoat.

I was paralleling parents argument with an populist trope, to make it easier to understand that its not a good thing to say.

Be careful not to read more into my sayings than what i wrote. Its not an agreement, its an accusation.
