Often times in politics, what is a "lie" is more a matter of opinion rather than fact. Who gets to be the arbiter of truth?

Facebook makes more than $5 per user but the average is brought down by lower revenue in Asia/Pacific. For users in US/Canada the revenue per user is over $20.

Re: A military historian’s analysis of Spartan myth

> Spartan planning is both direct and unrealistic: find a choke-point, fortify it and hold it indefinately with a hoplite army. Attempted at Thermopylae this plan fails; the Battle of Thermopylae is often represented in popular culture as an intentional delaying action, but it was nothing of the sort – Herodotus is clear that this was supposed to be the decisive land engagement (Hdt. 7.175; Cf. Diodorus 11.4.1-5).

Xenophan and Plutarch probably hit a bit to do with it.

Compare that with the version in GNU Coreutils[1] that is 50+ lines long so that false[2] can be written as:
#define EXIT_STATUS EXIT_FAILURE

Re:Amazon won't spin off AWS. That's hurting AWS
on Monday October 28, 2019 @11:33AM (#21377850)
Even if AWS was spunoff, surely it would still be owned by Bezos just as much? I assume in spin off proportional ownership by shareholders remains the same. I also don't see why their policies vis a vis government would be any different if they were a separate company. So, the argument comes down to people not being smart enough to realize AWS isn't any different as a separate company.
