And you're saying that their guy was Ford? Or Carter? That's what the CIA wanted?
You're going to have to explain more.

Mainly because regulators got scared and started adding line items for bogus safety reasons (like expecting to see background radiation levels far below those seen at coal plants due to the fly ash).
Coal plants are dead, partly due to the fly ash. I'm not sure you want to put nuclear in the same boat?

Without listening to the CVR audio and knowing what they actually said, there's no evidence either way, and AFAIK they have not released that.
From the preliminary report, quote: "In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so."
I'm trying to understand your complaint here... you think you need to hear their voices with your own ears to believe it?

You have the exact CVR audio? The report says "one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff" which I interpreted to mean one of them noticed the engines shutting down, and asked the other if he did that.
Then he would have asked the other pilot why the engines are shutting down. It seems a lot more probable that he glanced at the switches before asking such an explicit question.

Well seems I was wrong about linking C libraries from rust.
The problem of increased RAM requirements and constant rebuilds are still very real, if only slightly less big because of dynamically linking C.
That would have been a good post if you'd stopped at the first paragraph.
Your second paragraph is either a meaningless observation on the difference between static and dynamic linking or also incorrect. Not sure what your intent was.

Remember the really old days when air miles were awarded solely by distance flown rather than by dollars paid? This made no business sense. It meant that someone who flew the cheapest tickets could rack up as many points as a last-minute first class business traveller who spent massively more ticket.
With the airlines I’m familiar with, it seems that pricing anomaly has been corrected. Air miles are much more correlated with the price of the ticket these days. Eg., you don’t even get air miles on the cheapest tickets on one airline I know.
But I still wonder why the airline industry created an air miles formula so disconnected from the value of the passenger in the early days.
Because of the difference between:
"Congratulations! You flew 100,000 miles with us!"
"Congratulations! You spent $100,000 with us!"
China might be eating the world but the most obvious thing is the astroturfing.
