Yes

Also note the comment at the start of the addfloor(), which states that
# (Index * 5 seconds) + (20 seconds * (Index – PrevIndex))
# If previous elevators loops/stops add up to be greater than,
# (timePerFloor * 2) + timePerWait.
It seems completely unrelated with your “little function”, as the proportional headcount is not mentioned at all.

There’s an additional problem with Linux that affects AMD laptops: it’s been documented by now (and no updates applied to “stable” kernel line after 18 months, and counting…) been documented that updates on chipset drivers (the package is called linux-firmware) affect temperatures for the worse on AMD Ryzen family. By accident, I downgraded to an older ISO of Xubuntu that I had lying around from october 2020 and using that system my Ryzen doesn’t idle at 55 C degrees anymore, it is able to cool down to 38 C degrees on idle (the same as Windows, but only at idle… any slight CPU load on Linux will make it run 10 degrees Celsius hotter… terrible optimization)
So yeah, if you been having issues with AMD laptops on Linux try reverting back to an older distro, or find a way to manually downgrade the linux-firmware package (I would be curious to what exactly components of the system are controlled by the contents of this package besides CPU)

That’s my feeling too lately, John. I’ve been sick and tired of so many problems with Linux on laptops, after buying a new one. None of these issues existed in my older laptop. Additionally to that, it seems like Linux is not ready at all for AMD CPU’s, for Intel it might work. The combination of these factors cause a myriad of problems. 1h40m of battery life for a new laptop is simply unnaceptable. I rarely use battery, that’s not the case, but I live in an area with frequent power outages. Besides that, the fact so much power is being drawn from my battery shows that Linux might potentially cause PHYSICAL DAMAGE to the battery because of its nonsense.
It’s been a mystery to me, I still have my Windows partition for emergency situations and testing. I’ve been finding that when I boot up on Windows my battery life is the same (3 hours idle, around 1h45 browsing web with wifi on) No change. The only difference is that Windows runs 10 C degrees cooler at all times. (a visual indicator of chip usage)
So I don’t know anymore what is the culprit: is it Linux? is it AMD?
I just know I regret this purchase.
And I’m not buying AMD products anymore.
15 years go by, always the same problems, no solutions.
I’m gonna stick with Intel+Nvidia from now on.

Good reasoning, I am excited to see what happens.

In terms of Bitcoin, check the quarterly returns: https://www.coinglass.com/today

• Average quarterly returns 2016 – 2021: 37%
• Average quarterly returns 2013 – 2021: 54%

It seems like a very fair bet it’ll be over $100k; not including the fact companies are beginning to include bitcoin on the balance sheet and inflation continues to increase.

In terms of republicans, the country breakdown is more like: ~33% ind, ~33% rep, ~33% dem

I know of no person who follows politics happy with what’s going on. After Afghanistan, inflation, etc there is going to be plenty of demoralized democrats. Independents and Republicans are going to get involved in the voting process. So let’s make up some numbers, lets say

• 30% of Republicans will not vote in the next election
• 10% of Independents (who seem the most motivated and lean republicans)
• 20% of Democrats will probably also not support Biden again
• Let’s assume Independents lean 75% towards republicans, 25% for democrats

If you break those out you’re looking at a 57% to 43% win for Republicans. That tracks with polling, showing a 10% lead for Republicans.
