>We could engineer general contentment for all without drug usage.
The idea that other people are engineering my contentment, is a truly terrifying notion.
I imagine this technology will predominantly be used for increasing the effectiveness of ads by attempting to put pixels in front of your face that spike dopamine output and attempt to persuade you to pay for something to get another dopamine spike. Essentially creating the same effect, but in a more subversive manner than a consumed drug.
What do you mean by rate limited?

My account has a rate-limit flag on it that prevents it from posting too often. It's a silent flag and I know why it's there (I'm often downvoted[0]) so I don't know until I send a message whether it will make it. Unfortunately, that often prevents me from replying to people. When I do I receive a message "You are posting too fast".
0: Not complaining about this, just explaining.

Disciplined by a technicolor behavior algorithm and not told about it. How appropriate!

Participation in this forum is not a fundamental right so I'm comfortable with it. I fundamentally support the right of discussion groups to restrict who gets to be present.
HN's place. HN's rules.
EDIT: Since I'm rate limited, here's my response to below comment
People are always engineering your contentment. Stand-up comics, your wife, the people at your favourite coffee shop, the bookstore you visit. It's a good thing. It's the lubricant of society.
