pete_dushenski: "Starting last month, New York City began tracking about 400 people's driving habits, including how much gas they use, when they drive, where they are, and how fast their cars go. The program, called "Drive Smart," promises drivers discounts of up to 30 percent on their Allstate auto insurance, as well as "incentive rewards valued at $25," according to the program website.
pete_dushenski: "The idea is to understand how people drive in the city"The program will also collect data on when a driver breaks hard or makes a sharp, fast turn. The idea, according to the New York Department of Transportation, is to understand how people drive in the city, in the hopes of solving traffic problems including NYC's famous gridlock."

mats: there are other car insurers who offer the device and will lower your rates if you drive predictably and safely
BingoBoingo: It is not a popular thing.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski, BingoBoingo: my understanding is that the tracking box is meant as a 'penal' thing for folks who had their rates go through the roof from chronically getting into wrecks - to try to get something like a sane price again
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I thought it was scam they used to keep Normal Ordinary Responsible People paying instead of switching insurers
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have yet to see this kind of thing alive.

mats: no, I don't own a vehicle anymore
asciilifeform: per-mile insurance would be a good deal for some folks - who almost never drive

mats: I already own a smartphone, run Windows on a networked device for research work, operate computers downstream of pwned backbone, use credit cards, have bank account, and live in a city covered in public and private CCTV

mircea_popescu: the fact that they list 3 items, all three being from the list of usg-pretend-issues as opposed to the list of actual issues resolves to my mind the propaganda vs information dilemma. this is in no way related to reality, and entirely the result of how someoine wants reality to appear. any similarities to actual reality being purely coincidental.

danielpbarron: shinohai, the key is that the chicks had already been with other dudes who they then should have married. To be honest, I'm not sure if it counts as adultery or not.
trinque: danielpbarron: my reading of the thing suggests that's more or less the rule
trinque: fuck a virgin; you're supposed to marry her
trinque: but it does seem to lean heavily on whatever the commonly held ideas at the time were re: sex
danielpbarron: it's the right thing to do, to offer the ex-virgin's father payment for her hand in marriage
ben_vulpes: eh, just pay for the children.
danielpbarron: another key point is that it is never the virgin who is the victim; it's either her father or her husband. So the modern notion of "cheating" does not apply. It's not adultery for a married man to have sex with another woman so long as she isn't also married to another man
ben_vulpes: convenient solution is available if you take the girl and her kids
ben_vulpes: but what about the girls' agency, danielpbarron?!!!1ONE!?
