In my state (SC), the people I personally know who have been ticketed for a rolling stop have typically been the only vehicle at the intersection (sometimes the only vehicle on the entire road). I suspect this is because the infraction is

My first time visiting Boston I came to a four-way stop leaving the airport. I was surprised that not a single car came to a full stop in the other three directions. They did not yield to the vehicle on the right as is the norm in my stat

I agree, though traffic circles or roundabouts are the standard design pattern for a multi-way intersection without stop signs or traffic lights.

Ensuring sufficient reaction time isn't the only reason for a full stop. A full stop is a signal to those around you that you are yielding the right of way. If there is another way to signal (e.g. all other cars are a autonomous vehi

Yes, in states where stopping at a stop sign is the norm, come to a stop even when no one is there. This ensures predictability, which is important for both driver and pedestrian safety. If you are in a state like Massachusetts where a rol

Both are problems. In one case you care about consistency: how can you guarantee a transaction fully succeeded vs only partially succeeded if the drive tells you the data was written, even though it wasn't? In the other case, e.g. writ

I'll add this: on spinning disks it's normal to reorder write operations; it is optimal to order writes in a way that matches the layout on disk. That way, each sector is written as the write head passes over the sector. We like

Where in the chart would you put FreeDOS? AFAIK it's not a direct descendant of any version of DOS on the chart but is a separate implementation.

If you map A: but not B: do you still get B: mapped to the same drive, as you would in a computer with only one floppy drive, or does that magic only apply to drives that hold removable media?

Kibi didn't exist until 1998 (per your link), so anything you read that was written prior to that and for a few years after still has the kilo=1000/1024 ambiguity.

As I understand, bats are believed to be the reservoir for SARS-CoV, but the virus was spread to humans via an intermediate host. It would be the same with SARS-CoV-2, with an intermediate host acting as an amplifier.

IIRC fructose is perceived as roughly twice as sweet as glucose, so you would need to use more sugar if you used glucose; I'm guessing that would be more expensive, otherwise HFCS would be less economically sensible.
