Sure but the attendants shouldn't have to play dress-up and condescendingly steward every single adult on the plane. Just have them as guard-like postings onboard and cut down costs on the training time wasted on customer "manag

It might not be that significant of a cost all things considered, but I have always felt the peculiar existence of "professionally happy" cabin crew, in-flight meals, screens and other pointless "comforts" glaringly unne

I don't use its products myself but Apple fits this definition perhaps; its current CEO is a former engineering head, the previous CEO was a former operations head and the one before him was Steve Jobs.

They wouldn't have had to face such embarrassment and rollbacks and spend billions had they just stuck to maintaining Windows 10 in the first place. To this day any improvement W11 offers over W10 is still an enigma.

They should honestly just instead back `scoop` as the default way to install Python on Windows. It's clean, sits nicely in userspace and handles CLI execution aliases elegantly.

But are PC software and games compatible and tuned for console hardware even if you hotwire Linux onto it?

The entirety of the web browser runs in userspace afaik. Whatever goes there and within is de facto a user agent.

The Mughals were of Turkic descent but were not Turco-Mongol nomads. Steppe nomad culture had died out for a long time before Babur's rise.

They were the last "Big" Empire in the subcontinent before the British Raj. The EIC inherited a lot of Mughal-standard bureaucracy in the territories they took over, despite the territories themselves belonging to Sultanates disti

China is fundamentally anti-elite. It is the whole principle the PRC was founded on. China does not have "the same type of leadership" at all. It has well-raised technocratic cadres who compete within the system, not above it un
