but if two self driving transportation companies are in competition with each other and they both want to dominate the market, one might set their prices lower than the other to steal the market share.

Lol. Lmao even

You’ll pay more and think you’re getting a deal until you see what your neighbor is paying.

“network isn’t air gapped anymore” side of things. Now you’re having to maintain firewalls, patch firmwares, manage users, enforce good password hygiene,

This is all shit they should be doing now. They have to have a firewall to get to the net, so they should be maintaining and patching it. Managing users is standard AD shit, and password hygiene is t as easy, but setting reqs in AD for complexity goes a long way (as does not forcing passwords to rotate on an arbitrary basis).

And yes, I know it doesn’t happen in a lot of places, which is why I said ‘should’. Having been on the cleanup side of multiple security incidents, doing the basics is harder than you’d expect for a lot of places …

The mark of a quality developer is not the lack of problems, but the way they respond to them. Any project in active development for a long time is going to run into breaking issues from time to time just because technical debt accrues and memories are short.

The ability to fix a problem, publicly own up to the cause/fix and work to prevent future issues like it are the best we can ask for.

Natural selection is driven by pressures that affect reproduction chances

Oh, like dying of old age at 28 of a broken foot or a fucked up tooth?

Like a genetic mutation that makes you sicker

In nature it’s what cleans the genetics of a species of disease over time, preventing infinite accumulation of negative mutations

If you think that’s all that natural selection is, you’re woefully uneducated on the topic. Because natural selection does in fact include external pressures like predators, disease, and accidents, along with genetics. Genetics can absolutely make a difference in making it to reproduction, but environmental factors are just as big of a factor, if not bigger, in making it that long.
