Can you explain what you mean? I’m having trouble squaring that with my model of developers, which is that they try to make money, not make efficient use of resources.
Are you talking about Europe specifically? I live in America.
- BurningFrog 7y agoEfficient use of resources is one of the main ways to make money!
- antepodius 7y agoOn a micro-scale, yes, but if there's an incentive to externalise costs that that's what'll happen, even that course of action in aggregate reduces everyone's profits. Tragedy of the commons.
- BurningFrog 7y agoTrue, but we have a lot of experience with designing legal frameworks and property rights that align individual and aggregate incentives.
