The sheer difference in quantity of fuel there is going to raise eyebrows if you try and put AvGas into an aircraft that requires JetA.

Which is why the Jeju 737 didnt record any data once its engines shut down - the 737 didnt have a RAT.
Which means that the most important points of the accident were unrecorded.
Another greater possibility is that one engine failed for some reason and the pilots reacted incorrectly causing the good engine to be shut down. This is the most likely and there have been other crashes caused by this kind of mistake. Pilots spend their whole careers maintaining equal thrust between a plane's engines, but then when an engine failure happens they have to go for maximum unequal thrust.
This is unlikely because its been shown that the time it takes to go through the 787 engine-out checklist, to get to the point where you do anything that could conceivably turn the good engine off, is longer than the time between when the aircraft took off and crashed.
If this was the case, it would have been done by a crew member not going through the checklist.
Its like claiming medical ethics laws are stifling the advancement of medical treatment and drugs, because you cant test on patients without their knowledge and explicit consent...
They might very well be, but its a limitation society is willing to accept over the protestations of drug companies.
The only person bringing SpaceX into this is you.
Why does there have to be any comparison at all? Why does there have to be a perceived competition between what Blue Origin are doing here and what SpaceX are doing over there?
There is something broken in western news media and social media, in that everything simply *must* be a race or a competition, and if one entity in the perceived competition is behind then they shouldn't even bother - it doesn't matter that none of the actual entities themselves see themselves as being in a competition or race, they dont matter, its an external thing being forced on them by observers.
The concept that an entity can be entirely about their own milestones, rather than judging their progress by measuring against another entity, is rapidly becoming an impossibility in many peoples minds.
You see it all the time, with SpaceX being used as the thing to measure against - someone hops a rocket, oh but they are a decade behind SpaceX so why are they even bothering. Someone launches a new rocket but its not reusable, doesn't matter than it meets all the internal requirements of the project and the project sponsors, its not reusable so they are so far behind SpaceX so why are they even bothering. Blue Origin launches a sub-orbital rocket, entirely meeting their own internal goals, but its not orbital so they are so behind SpaceX, so why are they even bothering...
Not everything has to be a competition.
Any criminal gang with two braincells to rub together will simply download any one of the free and secure cryptography libraries, any one of the free and secure messaging protocol libraries, put the two together with a Bootstrap based UI, and
Google bugs me a few times a week to use Chrome on iOS because I use the Gmail app...
You have a point.
But what large group of people has there ever been where there has been no toxicity or social problems within?
Facebook, Twitter, social media in general, IRC, ICQ, news groups.... I've been around a looooong time on the internet, enough time to understand that the problem is not the platform, its the people.
How do we solve that?
Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.
Back in the days that home solar systems still mostly used lead-acid batteries - which in some cases of degradation could be repaired, at least partially, if you had some good strong and reasonably pure sulfuric acid - I viewed a YouTube video on how to make it. (From epsom salts by electrolysis using a flowerpot and some carbon rods from old large dry cells).
For months afterward YouTube "suggested" I'd be interested in videos from a bunch of Islamic religious leaders . (This while people were wondering how Islamic Terrorists were using the Internet to recruit among high-school out-group nerds.)

No, Apple's EVP has no risk of being put in jail by contesting the court order.
Yes, they did. It's not open for debate, in view of the judge's order:
"The order, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, demands that an Apple official 'personally responsible for ensuring compliance' appear in court on May 27 'if the parties do not file a joint notice that this issue is resolvedâ¦'"
Personally requiring an executive to appear is a big ol' red flag there, buddy.
I think I agree that this is being done in good faith (to the court) pending appeal.
Good faith? It's being done in fear of some Apple EVP being tossed in holding and million dollar fines for contempt being imposed until Apple stopped stalling (16 months after losing its appeal of the injunction to the Supreme Court, and 20 days after the Court imposed sanctions, further restrictions, and made clear that its patience was at an end).
There was no good faith. There is fear of the hammer dropping even harder.
Theres no real reason why those "illegal hotels" cant get properly licensed and offer the same product at the same time (ie accepting pets).
The "illegal hotels" wont do that tho because it costs them money and means inspections so their rooms arent death traps.
Inaccurate.
Broadcoms cease-and-desist to perpetual license holders was in regards to applying updates after the support part of the contract expired. The perpetual licenses are still in effect, frozen at the last update that was included under the support part of the contract - perpetual license holders can extend the support contract separately.
It's not just that.
Its the US shouting "protectionism" while simultaneously restricting a lot of tech transfer to China in an effort to try and block their development.
If China cant rely on other countries for what they need, because the US forces restrictions on other countries trade with China (see the banning of an European countries chip UV manufacturing technology sale to China), then of course they are going to reduce their reliance in all areas on other countries.
Silicon has grades of quality, and while many beaches are made of silicon, barely any of it can be used for high quality purposes.
