What do you mean with "manually"? Did you type complex commands by hand? Simple commands or using an GUI is faster than explaining an AI what you want to do, no?
Without EU, the Europe countries don't really have leverage against super powers or FAANG companies, so we are stuck with it for now, for good and for bad.
I feel like there are a lot "you are holding it wrong" arguments flying around. Like, when somebody says that AI wasn't able to accomplish something, people tend to assume it's an User problem.
Meanwhile, I have a hard time to believe people don't encounter problems with AI solutions on a regular basis (I do).
It's two different topics in the sense that the process for skilled workers must be simplified so that they can come and stay easier. We also need those people as our society won't be sustainable otherwise.
The challenges with Asylum seekers are very different as you have pointed out.
Yeah, you basically have to grind leetcode or get lucky - having a interviewer giving you enough hints or come up with a (for you) novel idea on the fly.
The shortage of workers in the health care sector is well established, just look at some numbers. As my wife works in health care sector, I also know that from own experience. Here colleagues and friends are mostly from within EU but also outside EU. A friend of mine from Syria just completed her training to become a neurologist. Another just finished training to become a nurse. She nearly had to move out of the country because she was on a "training visa" but finished it an wanted to start working. They wanted her to move out of Germany to apply for a work visa.
It's pure insanity. Meanwhile, many people think regular migration and coming as refugee is basically the same thing and that we don't need skilled worker to begin with. Maybe we deserve to become insignificant, but I would rather from some distance.
Of all places I never imagined finding so many AfD talking points here on HN. Trying to migrate to another country right now, because I see a grim future coming with the direction the society is going. Reading here strongly confirms my reasoning for that.
I think you talking about refugees, not regular migration.
People who migrate need to deposit thousands of Euros, at least when they come for training in health care sector (nurse or doctor). You can also come if you have an offer from a German company or a very good outlook to get one. In any case, you are not allowed to stay if you don't work for a longer period of time.
I can't believe how many don't know about this even here.
It's basically relatively easy to stay here as a refugee, but not as easy to stay here as a skilled worker.
Get born outside the western world and migrate to Europe as a skilled worker and your live increases significantly as well as that it your family. Same goes for the society you live in.
You talking about refugees or migration? That's two totally different things. Germany is in desperate need of migration and yes, the people that come are skilled workers.
Do you have more information regarding age based degradation?
I haven't looked too deeply into the topic and I am not sure if the argument had been about pure age based degradation or about "after X years because a person will have driven Y kilometers since then".
Yeah, of course they can/could, it's just that it does not make sense from an economic point of view. Which directly circles back to the beginning "USPS is not profitable".
"Just build it from scratch, can't be that hard" - every software engineer at some point in the past.
It is that hard and even harder. An then you have the problem that politicians and societies have a hard time to decide on topics of much narrower scope and much smaller impact.
That said, I would love to for the US having a solid checks and balances system instead of the current system.
If you want to look at a case study regarding a 'more modern' constitution: the German (de facto) constitution is only around 80 years old.
