    None of the documentation or statements by US officials are consistent, and appear to include a bit of lying. So people are leaning towards him being at least partially correct in his accusations.

    In short, they saw the picture and then began an extended interview where they made a bunch of false claims, and used made up reasons to deny him. Then later claimed they used more reasonable argument, which also doesn’t really hold water.



  • Most memes or jokes referencing a direct problem in PHP, are old or made by people who haven’t touched the language in a decade(version 7 was in 2015, and it removed/fixed a lot of issues and added needed features).

    There’s also the huge looming thing that a lot of programmers forget: Websites like Wikipedia run on PHP, not to mention the amount of WordPress and similar websites are out there. Which means it will keep going strong. And for a while Facebook also used quite a lot of it, to the point where they made a rudimentary compiler instead of rewriting parts in more efficient languanges.


  • The way they’re often used in movies by firing basic flaming arrows into groups of soldiers is often not accurate(although there are records of East Asian troops using gunpowder based rocket arrows against soldiers).

    However, flaming arrows have been historically used in sieges for a long time. We have records going back 2700 years of arrows having something tied around the tip that was soaked in oil and lit on fire. Just look at the posted picture, those are real “cage” style flaming arrows

    We even have actual examples of arrows from the 1400s with a saltpeter compound on it that burns under water.






  • And why you don’t really see major conglomerations openly fighting back against EU regulations, only individual companies. Because they are scared to death of the EU fines that are based on percentage of total revenue.

    Something like the main Samsung company getting hit with one of the big fines would literally alter global economy, either way. Since the payment would be enourmous, and if they refuse to pay they’d be blocked from operating in the EU.
