00:06 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.
00:06 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."

00:23 mats its a popular thing
00:24 mats there are other car insurers who offer the device and will lower your rates if you drive predictably and safely
00:31 BingoBoingo It is not a popular thing.
00:37 pete_dushenski even if it were popular, that'd only put it in the facebook camp of 'retarded things lots of americans do because they're very nearly too stupid to breath and most definitely too stupid to know when they're being raped.'

00:38 pete_dushenski then again, i say this as someone who wouldn't drive a car at all if i could only afford to drive a tracking beacon
00:39 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
00:40 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I thought it was scam they used to keep Normal Ordinary Responsible People paying instead of switching insurers
00:40 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i have yet to see this kind of thing alive.
00:41 asciilifeform and i live in the world scam capital.
00:41 BingoBoingo I've seen commercials
00:41 BingoBoingo But this seems more like a thing to turn reliable NORP customers into penal customers
00:42 asciilifeform at one point there was a notion of selling insurance per-mile
00:42 pete_dushenski asciilifeform: hehe, presumably via "As to the second point, that America > Europe because the former is in any way free of its own rent-seeking mandarin class, to quote an alf, look no further than USGavin, Paul Graham, Blablalawsky and their continued ability to buy groceries and pay rent."
00:43 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: aha

00:45 pete_dushenski mats: do you have this ?
00:45 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> demented, extraordinary irresponsible chimp ? << pretty much
00:45 mats no, I don't own a vehicle anymore
00:45 asciilifeform per-mile insurance would be a good deal for some folks - who almost never drive
00:45 asciilifeform e.g., my brother
00:46 mats when I do drive (carsharing program), yes, it is armed
00:53 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

01:10 mats so I'm fighting several battles on different fronts, lots of 17 hour days for the foreseeable future
01:11 mats the smart play would be to take the next year off and study, produce projects, but it is hard to gauge how my competency will advance in that time
01:13 pete_dushenski if you can afford the time off, i doubt a year of autodidacticism would be wasted.
01:14 pete_dushenski "An Uberized education is when --as in antiquity -- one goes to a specific teacher to get lectures, bypassing the university. The students and the teachers are thus matched.

16:16 mircea_popescu otherwise, markets are by definition centralized. this is what they do : they centralize trade. you wish decentralized, stick to barter.

17:37 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.
17:37 mircea_popescu seriously, not even MENTION the bios, or the hard drive firmware ?

19:18 ben_vulpes mats: why do you think i hate you?
19:19 ben_vulpes do you think that i hate danielpbarron?
19:21 danielpbarron cazalla> danielpbarron is married? << lol no. Adultery is when a woman sleeps with a man who isn't her husband
19:22 mats ben_vulpes: just joking.
19:23 shinohai danielpbarron be unmarried, that would be *fornication*
19:25 ben_vulpes more baffled than anything some days, mats.
19:26 danielpbarron mircea_popescu> wow, picking up blondies at porcfest works that well, huh. << hah. I was referring to my past when I didn't yet believe in The Bible
19:26 ben_vulpes specially the winblet line - that really blew my stack
19:26 mats winblet?
19:30 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.
19:32 trinque danielpbarron: my reading of the thing suggests that's more or less the rule
19:32 trinque fuck a virgin; you're supposed to marry her
19:33 trinque but it does seem to lean heavily on whatever the commonly held ideas at the time were re: sex
19:34 danielpbarron it's the right thing to do, to offer the ex-virgin's father payment for her hand in marriage
19:36 ben_vulpes eh, just pay for the children.
19:36 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
19:36 ben_vulpes convenient solution is available if you take the girl and her kids
19:36 ben_vulpes but what about the girls' agency, danielpbarron?!!!1ONE!?
19:36 danielpbarron no such thing

20:08 BingoBoingo Who would even use a QT client without compiling it so they could put in coin-control???
20:09 midnightmagic trinque: It would be interesting, but he would instantly submarine the entire effort for sure.
20:11 midnightmagic :-o only mike and gavin are publishing gitian sigs for the result. On the small chance they are doing something sneaky, if you gitian and find a mismatch, you could kill xt in about 20 minutes of compile-time per-release.
20:12 trinque really depends on the difference between weakening in some subtle way vs putting some explicit back-door
