Usually, it's the distributions problem to package software. You as a software developer publish documentation on how to build your application and then simply wait for other people to do the packaging for you. The creation of services is the same, you can maybe create a recommendation, but the service definition is part of the package file and thus not your problem.

it's like when we "found out" leaded gasoline is bad for every living being on the planet. the whole automotive industry and its associates really didn't want to change, but at the end of the day life goes on. maybe one day we'll be able to have an internet that is not financed by mass surveillance enabled psychological abuse.

- Browsers would come with the no tracking signal enabled by default (why wouldn't they?) so that tracking would become opt-in.

- Nobody chooses to be tracked.

- The whole industry built on tracking users collapses, namely advertisement

- Web sites who based their business model on advertisement go under

This seems like the perfect outcome to me, but I doubt we'll be this lucky

I believe Mercedes takes full responsibility for its self driving cars while Tesla will still disengage autopilot like 1 second before impact and claim it's the drivers fault? Essentially, drivers legally have to be on full alert at all times in a Tesla while they can kick back and watch a movie during the ride in a Mercedes.
