A fair question. In a word, no. The 64-bit refers to the address space available to the programs. 32-bit address space was limited to 4GB while 64-bits can address more memory than most of us can afford. Performance should be about the same unless the application has been compiled optimized for 64-bit in which case my may run somewhat faster.

Where the speed improvements double is when the instructions can process 64 bits of data in a 'word' useful for large numbers.

I drove for Uber as a gig for about 6 months. I didn't like it and don't recommend it for anything but a short term gig. Some drivers have tried to turn this into a full time job, and apparently some regulahttps://yro.slashdot.org/story/20/05/05/189214/uber-and-lyft-face-worker-misclassification-lawsuit-from-ca-attorney-general-and-city-attorneys#r taxi drivers monitor Uber, Lyft and their own dispatch for jobs just to keep the meter running. Taxi companies and perhaps unions would like to see this class of company disappear.

A ruling here would potentially also affect boutique software companies like mine being reclassified into employee status - so much for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is eminent domain applied to a business when the state takes your business and gives it to someone else. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Generally, the social media platforms are carriers and should be immune from prosecution for what their users post. Having said that, to earn that they would also need to provide real verified identities much as speakers in a town hall do for public comments. The forums have it in their best interest to maintain a somewhat civil environment for discourse. Bad actors espousing violence, extremist views and such would shy away from the real id aspect of the platform in favor of anonymous platforms. Further, a self regulating platform much like Slashdot has with crowd sourced +/- post ratings should normalize the conversation over time to to acceptable social norms within post publishing visibility domains. What one group finds acceptable, another group far away may find offensive - one size does not fit all.

Sounds like the model for the German socialist political system.

If they can't build it here, Mexico may be a good choice to help bolster their economy and jobs, that would also reduce the immigrant pressures. Just need to get the drug cartels under control and the corruption out of their culture.

Could be release 16 (they skipped 'B' for some reason.

Or perhaps the Q release is actually Q ANON?

Uber and Lyft by and large take 1 person or party from point A to point B, the pick up another customer. A true rideshare would operate more like the airport shuttles where you schedule ahead for start, end, and seats and the drivers have a kind of optimized route with more than 1 fare and more than 1 point A to Point B on board at any time. It works more like a bus with a dynamic route.

Ok, I just made those numbers up - sort of. Having driven for Uber, I know I spent about 1/4 to 1/3 of my miles between drop off and pick up on jobs. On the flip side, taking a taxi or Uber alleviates parking loads and almost certainly reduces drunk driving as most of my after 11 pm customers had been to bars and restaurants for a night out. Now the parking lot companies and some city governments may not be happy about the reductions as parking fees and DUI tickets are profitable.

I always sleep my laptop at night and when moving between locations. Reboots are rare, sometimes driven by updates, occasionally due to issues with dynamic network switching (a logout/login usually fixes those), and very rarely if ever due to application or memory issues.

Another study should be conducted focusing on a subset of the population that use psychotropic medications like anti-depressants while they're on and off the drugs. Do those drugs somehow affect the mental filters that let normal people be generally good and turn them into killer psychopaths driven by triggers such as violent video games, film, and political rhetoric.

Having a car gives one a competitive advantage to live in nicer less dense areas or lower cost areas, to have flexibility to work anywhere, to shop anywhere in driving distance. The alternative is you are locked into places to live, shop and work withing walking, bicycle, and public transport distances. I also found car ownership is cheaper than public transit in my area (So California) taking into account the cost of lost opportunity - slow transit times and long wait times when I could have been working and earning. When car transit times or parking get too difficult such as going into downtown LA, then perhaps taking the train or metro makes more sense. Optimize your own life.

Want to make people go crazy instantly, just release a small quantity of methane in an enclosed spaces like an elevator or a meeting room. This is easily naturally produced by the mastication and digestion of quantities of fibrous material like beans - the magical fruit.
