I wasn't sure about doing discussion of the specific point, but other people are....

Here's an example from someone who believes strongly in cultivating internal motivation-- the opposite of shocking yourself if you don't do enough crudely monitored exercise.
The punishment approach to exercise arguably makes people less likely to exercise at all, and I think it increases the risk of injuries from exercise.
There really is a cultural problem-- how popular is the approach from the link compared to The Biggest Loser and boot camps for civilians?
Sidetrack: I'm imagining a shock bracelet to discourage involvement in pointless internet arguments. How would it identify them? Would people use it?
That's probably a FAI-complete problem. See also: http://xkcd.com/810/
A thing I would like is this. I would totally enable this on LW if it was an option. (And if someone volunteered to write a Firefox plugin to achieve the same client-side, they'd have all my gratefulness.)
Done. Client-side version, that is.
