So, my company issued development machine is a beefy desktop full of xeons and graphics cards (necessary for the specific work I do). It's fantastic for 95% of my work life but sometimes I want a computer in a meeting with me to take some detailed notes, have a document/code on hand, or give a presentation.

Obviously, there are ways around all of those situations. I can email my slides to the presentation machines in the conference rooms, etc. But they don't really beat the convenience of just grabbing the computer I used to make the ppt and knowing that everything will work. Sometimes I get quite jealous of colleagues with laptops.

And then, of course, there are the aforementioned cases of travel or wanting to work from home instead of coming in.

I agree.

When the government subsidizes student loans (which I think they should in order to promote an educated/skilled society) there must be cost controls on the school (no NE private school art majors costing 100k+) and underwriting on the part of both the school and the student (the student doesn't successfully complete a degree, the government gets money back), in combination with monitoring.

>> The costs increased exponentially compared to what it was.

The cost increased due to government intervention. They wanted more people to go to college so they told lenders they'd guarantee loans for education. They do that by having the ability to take it out of your paycheck for the rest of your life if you don't pay. Anyway, with the flood of money instantly available, schools were able to jack tuition by double digits every year for as long as the want. The place I went has been on a building spree for the last 20 years - it's a whole different place now. Part of that was needed since the number of students has about doubled, so it's not entirely wasteful. But the bottom line is that the "free" money is what caused the rates to rise. I feel bad for that entire generation - they got fucked from all angles financially.

So what do you miss? There are of course other crypto primitives involved: even when public key algorithms are used, the whole message is encrypted with the symmetric cipher, only the key for the message is encrypted with the public key cryptography. An example for symmetric cipher is AES,

I wouldn't recommend Rudin for a first exposure to Analysis. You will undoubtably suffer unfairly if you look at Rudin and aren't in the context of a classroom and/or you lack the mentorship to have your proofs checked.

But I would Terrance Tao's notes on analysis:

In addition to other responses: there is not much difference in practice between a desktop and a laptop in a large office environment.

Sure developer gets nicer than average desktop, but generally something in line of what you can have on a laptop and they are generally stuck with that config until the next company refresh. So the choice becomes a desktop or a laptop with exactly the same configuration and the same effective extensibility. Why would you not take the laptop, which also allows you to work from home, carry at meetings, ... ?

For me, the work machine is there for a web browser (through which I also do email), Slack, and a term for vim, tests and docker.

I don't really need heavy compute in front of me - all that's done up in AWS, GCP, etc.

I could in theory get away with a Chromebook with a really decent term: I'd ssh into a VPS and tmux in there, and do my workflow would be over there. I have a colleague who has this setup and he's able to successfully work on nothing more than an iPad Pro if he needs to, including with remote pairing with another developer, talking to each other via various voice call apps on his phone. It works surprisingly well.

As to form factor, being able to take my code into meetings is frequently useful, being able to move desks to pair side by side with somebody in another part of the building, that is all useful.

A powerful desktop would be interesting for me if I wanted to do more compute in front of me, and might even be cost effective if the right sort of kit was priced at the right level.

For 3D animators/CAD types, I imagine it's essential.

Mmm. I consider it insane that the Web is as slow as it is, but it makes a sad sort of sense. I've been wondering about making a cut-down general-purpose information rendering engine with a carefully-designed graphical feature set that's really easy to optimize. Would be really cool.

The loan provider is in a much better position to know who will and will not be able to pay back a particular loan.

Perhaps this is better, but seems unrealistic.
You estimate that 60% would become addicted if exposed to drugs, but this percentage is actually much smaller.

First, like others have said, drugs like MDMA and psychedelics are hardly addictive (or not at all). Second, even highly addictive drugs like cocaine and heroin have only a small percentage of users becoming dependent.

See here: http://archive.samhsa.gov/data/2k8/newUseDepend/newUseDepend...
13% of heroin users were dependent on the drug one year after using for the first time. Less than 10% of crack cocaine users were one year after first use.

This is especially interesting because this selection of people, hard drug users, is already different from the general population in that they are thrill seekers/very open to new experiences/arguably bad decision makers. Yet, even among them the percentage of people becoming dependent is much smaller than what most of us would expect it to be.

I want to live in your world of perfectly rational and infinitely wise superhumans. Sadly we live in the real world, and people are under-educated about debt, mislead by marketers, preyed upon by salespeople, and left holding the baggage.

>Is coding in cafes and visiting conferences that big a use case

Is that really the only place you use your computer?

I'm a consultant, working part time at an office, and I am doing a masters and generally just enjoy coding as a hobby. My use case is something like:

I develop on my couch, I develop at home, I develop on the train, I develop in the dining room, I develop in my own room, I sometimes write some quick code while on the bus during my commute, and I write code at my university. I also bring this same computer to work and use it to develop there.

Oh, and I also sometimes enjoy gaming with my friends at their place, with the same computer.

Why on earth would I restrict myself to a stationary computer when I can have a portable one that I can take everywhere I want with no hassle?

In my circles the only people that have a stationary computer are people that use it for gaming, and even then they still have a laptop on which they do everything else.

>Bullshit.. I paid off student debt like a responsible adult

I've got a similar unpopular opinion about the housing bust. Prices were sky-high, so I chose save (and couldn't afford to buy a home). Then, a bunch people who got in over their heads and couldn't make their mortgage payments were, in some situations, bailed out.

Yes, I get that some people were deceived by zealous mortgage brokers or had personal crises that caused them repayment issues. But I'm sure that's about as common as the people who took what they could get as far as a mortgage, lied on their applications, or were flipping houses.

Irresponsible fiscal behaviour is incentivized, and more prudent measures are punished.

The problem is a university and/or loan provider who is only interested in your money (and doesn't fear their loans being forgiven) has an incentive to mislead kids into thinking that this is not irresponsible.

> Dubai

The UAE as a whole only consumes 15% more energy per capita than the US. Given how much smaller it's population is (around the size of NYC), it seems unfair to include it in the list. I assume that number also includes how much energy is needed to produce oil, which is exported worldwide.

The country is heavily investing in renewables, Dubai wants to supply 7% of power by solar from 2020, and 75% by 2050.

Yeah, who said skeuomorphism was dead? Oh yeah, Apple did...
That is true, and I'm likely to agree. Some folks don't even consider further education: This obviously wouldn't apply to them. Proper college isn't really a good solution for some folks - I'm a supporter of trade schools - which also charge tuition in many cases, and there are a few jobs that post-high-school education isn't required and you can make a decent enough income. But realistically these aren't the norm, and this still puts folks victim to the borrow-or-don't go situation.

For those that college makes sense for, however, this is a pretty common scenario.
