The poster is giving information relevant only to the European Union ("112"). They are talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Mobile_Location I believe.

I don't think it indicates their article reading either way and wouldn't personally wager a guess. They are just adding their own personal experience to the conversation.

I agree with their sentiment even if it wasn't phrased particularly well.

While "outgroup" can technically just mean anyone the speaker doesn't identify with, applying it to the party in power creates a false equivalence. It frames the criticism as mere tribalism or bullying, rather than a legitimate response to the actions of those currently in power.

It’s hard to get behind the classification of the most powerful political movement in the country as a marginalized or "othered" group in this, or any context, really.

There is a plan, it's a deliberate assault on financial institutions with the intention of seizing financial control.

China is a Communist country (in the Leninist sense), it's just that Shenzhen is a special economic zone. This allows them to keep their ideology while operating within the global market economy.

It's also why Democracy and unbridled Capitalism leaking into Hong Kong is problematic for them. Though, to be fair, Hong Kong is also why Shenzhen has been such a success for them.

Germany and Italy practiced Corporatism in that era.

This was their economic "Holy Bible"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Charter_of_1927

If you really want a rabbit hole, compare the Labor Charter of 1927 to Project 2025 while assuming the free market rhetoric in the later is deliberate misdirection.

The alternative is recognizing that China offers a level of long term stability that the US is failing to match. That stability is worth a premium. You may not believe it's a high one, but our trade partners facing random tariff changes every month see it differently, even if just for a negotiating tactic at the current stage.

We also need to seriously adjust our line of thinking at what they are capable of. The "copycat" era is ending. Our supply chains have hammered their youth with generations of engineering knowledge. If you are relying on an ideological difference to assume they are not capable of innovation, you are making a strategic mistake.

It’s unclear if this comment missed the fact that the previous user was using mimicry as a rhetorical device to critique the original poster, or if it was an attempt at 'yes and'-ing by doubling down on the brevity. In either case, the question would have been more effective if directed at the grandparent comment, since that is the actual source of the unsupported assertion.

Fraudsters are essentially buying the "whitepaper" (technical/business legitimacy) in the classic crypto pump and dump scheme.

Bravo.

It's not often I find myself quoting Gwar, but this reminds me of "Bone meal! Better than no meal at all!"

Humans who aren't skilled require training regardless of how "unskilled" the task is.

Humans that are chronically unskilled also don't learn well, somewhat as a rule.

Humans that don't make much money have a high turnover rate from burnout. Additionally, those that can learn typically leave for greener pastures.

The bar isn't terribly high. Efficiency of scale in production will solve this eventually. I think the likely outcome is robots building themselves first.

>They haven't said it explicitly.

This seems to be a major strategic decision of Alphabet pretty much across the board. I have only recently noticed the stark contrast to the constant hype trope you see in their competitors.

>Great, now do steam.

I can assure you I would point out the silliness of someone saying steam technology was not obvious too.

You know that steam is used in nuclear power, right?

Don't kid you'reself, people LOVE grammatical and spelling errors. It's low entry, and by far the easiest way to get someone to interact with what you have written.

AI deprives them of this.

Why even read something with no mistakes? Just scan on to the next comment, you might get a juicy "your/you're" to point out if you don't waste time reading.

>an electric car being made in the 19th century is totally irrelevent.

But then you strangely ignored why it was irrelevant, which I already pointed out and was the meat of the statement. The concept of an electric car is painfully simple. Way more so than an internal combustion engine, in fact.

Google search? They already have an AI assistant at the top of every search result.

Google is winning the AI race. They did with self driving and they are doing it with LLMs. They are sitting back quietly not making noise and then massively rocking the status quo regularly.

I suspect they are going to do similar in the field of quantum computing.

>Car electrification was definitely not obvious

The first electric car predates the 20th century. That seems pretty obvious.

The problem was always batteries and charging infrastructure. I wouldn't call these semi-impossible, but it's something Tesla definitely contributed significantly to.

To be fair, robot soldiers are the only robotics and ai problems that need to be solved to pretty much eliminate labor problems across the board.

I suspect China is going to beat him to the punch on this one too.

The one thing holding me to M$ Windows is visual studio.

Yes, I am aware there are alternatives that others think are as good or better. No, I have not personally found that to be true.

I have had an interesting experience just recently.

I hired back on at a company I used to work at and found they had contracted work to another former employee who was handed the code from a rest api I had written and a web app that used it. The task was to write an android app that interacted with the api.

He ran it through an agentic coding assistant and got out api scaffolding and basic UI.

Looking it over, I couldn't shake the feeling I was looking at my code, just ported to kotlin. I was seeing my idiosyncrasies everywhere. It was kind of surreal.

I was familiar with the dev's work who did it and it was nothing like his prior work, but it's been years since I have seen him, so who knows.

I couldn't help but admit it was a good foundation to start building on.

I told the pm they were likely overpaying significantly for an agentic coding assistant and only getting access to it for a few hours a month. This same organization recoiled in terror when I pointed out the cost of a claude code subscription once.

Yes, it's authoritarianism 101. I tell you to do things and you do them, it doesn't mean I have to.

I'd tell you where the largest breeding ground for this sentiment is, but hacker news isn't going to like it.

Step 1, people hand Tether real money at 0% interest.

Step 2, Tether invests in interest bearing assets.

Step 3, Repeat step 2 with profits from step 2.

The choice of gold is just diversification. Kind of odd timing though.

"major culture shift" != "they will turn your country into the country they fled from".

Regardless, the culture is that of a nation of immigrants. I don't see how anything here can cause major cultural shift away from that. I am willing to bet you won't be willing to elaborate either, so next goal post move please...

Yeah, or county... but same kind of difference.

I need to get this super power.

I am lucky to get to vote for people that don't believe in a religious ethno-state.

Great, since we are all in agreement, let's see if we can put it clear terms.

Administrative warrants are civil in nature and do not give authority to enter a house or any private space. Using them as such is in violation of the fourth amendment.

This is a slippery slope argument at best and jingoist rhetoric at worst.

I'll read it for them.

This basically states that the figures are based on self reported ICE data and are unreliable at best.

The figure is within a rounding error, and regardless does nothing to change the CCP tech and public executions of citizens in the street in broad daylight in front of dozens of cameras.

It's a false dilemma either way. "You are with ICE or you are pro-illegal immigration".

...and that's best case scenario, giving the benefit of the doubt.

>some isolated sect living in small town Appalachia.

Calvinists or Evangelicals?

I don't think that holds water either way.

It doesn't even need malicious intent. If nobody rational is monitoring it, all it will take is a bad datapoint or hallucination for your door to get kicked in by mistake.
