<p>MCP is simply an API protocol, like GraphQL or gRPC.<p>And since everything is an API, Kong also supports MCP natively (among many other protocols, including all LLMs): <a href="https://konghq.com/blog/product-releases/securing-observing-governing-mcp-servers-with-ai-gateway" rel="nofollow">https://konghq.com/blog/product-releases/securing-observing-...</a></p>

<p>Actually the parent comment was wrong:<p>You can physically cut off fuel without pulling the thrust lever to idle, because the two are separate controls.<p>However, it’s against procedure to do so - even dangerous. Throttle should always be at idle before pulling the cutoff switch, because otherwise excessive pressure can be created in the fuel system.<p>Essentially this is just a best practice, but there is no interlock between throttle and fuel cut off.<p>Then I got intrigued by your comment in case the throttle encoder fails. Turns out there is double redundancy on the throttle encoder (if one computer fails, the next one takes over), and if both fail the airplane will run on the last known setting at which point the only possible action that can be taken is to cut off the fuel (or keep it running with the last known throttle level).<p>In this regard both Boeing and Airbus follow the same implementation and there is no difference whatsoever between them.<p>Perhaps something they I have learned is that cutting off fuel during max throttle position (take off) may have damaged the fuel system of the Air India airplane because of big pressure in the lines and that may have interfered with the restart of the engines when the fuel valve was opened again.</p>

<p>0.1% of airline pilots fly intoxicated, and probably many more fly hangover which is an undetectable condition.<p>There is speculation that in the Air France flight 447 that crashed into the ocean en route to Paris, one or the pilots only had 1h of rest because of partying the night before. Of course it’s all speculative, and however unlikely it is, eventually it’s bound to happen that we get pilots with poor mental clarity in charge of large Boeings with hundreds of lives on board. Unfortunately it only takes one lapse of judgement to compromise the flight profile of a large airliner, even if corrected after a few seconds.<p><a href="https://generalaviationnews.com/2014/11/06/vanity-fair-the-human-factor/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow">https://generalaviationnews.com/2014/11/06/vanity-fair-the-h...</a></p>

<p>To be fair this strategy will work if other countries cannot tolerate tariffs for long enough to come up with non-USD trade that is accepted by everyone. Which to be fair may take them a very long time.<p>If they fold and remove tariffs on the US (so the US can drop the tariffs on them) before coming to an agreement because the economical pressure of tariffs is too high, then this will result in the largest market expansion the United States has ever seen.<p>My point is: yes lots of negatives can happen, but let’s also look at what happens if it works out so we are intellectually honest about what’s going on here.</p>

<p>Europe is both financially bankrupt and incompetent, with poor governance continuously hindered by the ambition of each country within the “union”. It will take decades at best for the EU to be competitive, assuming it won’t disintegrate before which is also a very real outcome.<p>And I say this as an European.</p>

<p>That’s apparently where 200,000-250,000 Serbian refugees were expected to go after the war.<p>But my point is that NATO is a military alliance, to call it “defensive” is just propaganda as it has shown it can be offensive too. And there is nothing wrong with simply calling it for what it is, I believe countries should be able to form military alliances, but let’s not gaslight ourselves.</p>

<p>Without going into the merits of this war, NATO - which was supposedly a defensive alliance - did indeed attack Kosovo in an offensive.<p>So NATO has demonstrated they can be whatever they want when the right time comes. NATO intervention in Kosovo to “liberate it” is also being used to morally justify Russian’s invasion of eastern Ukraine, since from a Russian standpoint it’s exactly the same scenario and they are “liberating” the Russian population in those Ukrainian territories.</p>
