To be clear, it wasn't Anglo saxons nor the Celts nor the steppe invaders before them who built the Stonehenge, though some of their DNA survives in the current population. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47938188

I mean, OK, yes, but Stonehenge was built in multiple phases by different groups of people over centuries. These farming migrants with Eastern Mediterranean grandparents built phases I and II, which had small stones (the bluestones from Wales, initially placed as grave markers before being moved around a lot) and lots of wooden posts.
The impressive phase with the sarsens, the big stones people picture if you say "picture Stonehenge", is Stonehenge III, and that was built by Beaker People, the steppe invaders. Inspired from the culture of their predecessors, I guess, but maybe for completely different purposes, in so far as any of it had a purpose.
The sarsens were connected at the top with woodworking joints, BTW, as if there was a risk they might fall off without pegs to hold them in place. I've never been sure what to make of that, but my best guess is "tradition". (A previous guess was "everybody in prehistory was drunk".)
Or it could be alien made. Like a dyson sphere - but a planet, with solar capture on the shell. Build everything without all the mass, add magnetic shoes and other tech to make living in 0g a reality.
Most people don't want to buy from someone they don't like - I mean this is where cult worship and brand image are important. It is not for no reason Forbes creates a list of most valuable brands every year https://www.forbes.com/powerful-brands/list/
Other way to look at it is, would you care if the seller employs child labor, slavery etc?
I’m happy to pay $99/month for this product. Been driving it last 2 weeks and don’t want to go back to AP. It makes mistakes, sure, but it is predictable. I can chill out in the car with 2.5 hr commute 3 days/week
This is not a legally approved FSD. Elon never bothered to get it certified in some safety lab. There are currently 200-300 court cases where a Tesla has caused injury or damage to property:
That's an old video from 2 years ago. FSD changed a lot in the mean time. I would agree with you then, and I had the car for 4 years now, and I am only planning to subscribe because it seems dependable enough. I am aware it is not scientific and I won't let of the steering wheel until it is. Nevertheless I can be half present in most of the circumstances. Unless it is a busy, tight street it won't matter to me, because all I am doing is commute on the interstate with lane switching for the most part.
That’s very PC, but there’s a fine line between that and not showing leadership. What good is a leader who doesn’t standup for what’s right? That’s annoying for the person who is right
My very first language was Pascal. I have since forgotten it, but distinctly remember the feeling computers are fun! And the red pascal book. Thank you Niklaus, for all the fun and impact you had on subsequent languages.
There is a lot of wisdom in your comment. Sometimes things don’t make sense - don’t yield results despite all your best work because you bit more than you can chew
