Let me explain:
Predatory pricing is defined as “the pricing of goods or services at such a low level that other suppliers cannot compete and are forced to leave the market.”
For silicon valley startups like Doordash and Grubhub this is accomplished by acquiring customers at a significant loss in ways that may often seem idiotic.

The End game is to be the dominant food ordering platform in any given town where you get to dictate rates like 25%.
Since predatory pricing is illegal, this response is justified. However, it would be better if regulators enforce predatory pricing rules to begin with, which they rarely ever do.

There are competitive options, if you’re in retail you do not have to give Amazon all your “retail data” or use their tech.
In an hypothetical adaptive walk. A119S does NOT provide sufficient CG-insensitivity so an insect with just A119S will die specializing in CG. The are other mutations needed for survival.
Moreover u left out: “A119S is a common substitution among taxa that do not specialize on CG-containing hostplants“
Natural selection is undefeated. Therefore the need for immediate substitutions to sites 111 & 122 in order to specialize on “CG-containing hostplants“
An adaptive walk has to show adaptation in the environment. If all the mutations occur outside the natural environment, without natural selection, it is not an adaptive walk.
