Article I. Section 8. of the US Constitution:

> The Congress shall have Power To [...] establish Post Offices and post Roads;

So any such change to the mail would be legislative

Thinking congress is going to help at this point is beyond delusional.

You put this really well. It's been incredibly frustrating to try to understand the mentality of these people, but that's just the problem—there is barely any "mentality" at all, it's easier understood by what they don't consider or understand.

The arm architecture is also optimized for UI-like tasks, quick to start and stop processes on one of many cores with differing power constraints, whereas x86 is more for workstation-type sustained workloads

You are right, an object at supersonic speeds will create a sonic boom, but it can be mitigated by structuring the object in such a way that it shapes the sound wave(s) in such a way that they reduce the noise at ground level.

Such descriptions are precisely what is meant by the term "company culture"

I attended the Android Dev summit a few years back, shortly after Flutter had made some public noise.

During a Q&A, I was literally laughed at when I asked the head of Android whether developers should take Flutter seriously. His eventual answer equated to "well Google is really big so we can't say".
