Most tech is heavily dependent on other tech, and networks are often only best effort. So I'd agree industrial, auto, and medical software should have some more regulation around safety and security; but not all commercial work.

- staunton 3y agoMore like "deploy once ever, maybe"
- loup-vaillant 3y agoAgreed. It’s not just about the amount of regulation though. The kind of regulation is important too. Take 3 random examples: Single player game: maybe we want to cut back on the skinner boxes, or automatically mark 18+ any actual gambling. Professional accounting: maybe we want the thing to be error-free under normal operating conditions (good luck defining "normal" here though). Media player: that thing routinely reads stuff from the Internet, maybe it should be robust to hostile input.
