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?
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.
Until recently, EVs were exempt from road user charges, but in the past couple of years they have been phased in.
Basically, for petrol vehicles the taxes are built into the fuel costs - but because diesel vehicles are used a lot for non-taxable purposes (eg farm use off of public roads), there is no road user charges on diesel fuel. Instead, NZ has the concept of a Road User Charge fee that you have to buy per 1000KM of usage on the public road - the fee varies depending on type of vehicle and weight of vehicle, so heavier vehicles pay more, as do those who travel more.
EVs weighing up to 3500kg currently have to pay a RUC charge of $76NZD per 1000KM, which is the same for diesel vehicles in the same weight class.
Yeah, sure, trust the hacker.
And it doesn't matter that it's not been released right now, that can change at any point in the future - the fact is, the data is out of the control of the original site now, so you should be acting like it's public.
Or the data can be cross referenced with data from a hacked ad provider or common JavaScript cdn provider, either now or at a later date, to provide probable identity information...
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing for money.
