I think there is no slit involved in LIGO. We only cleverly measure phase shift between two light waves (or rather the same wave but bouncing from a different direction).

Seems like a perfectly fine use case to me when a camera or a sensor wants to drop some files on the local network. The protocol is cheap to implement on microcontrollers unlike secure versions. So while FTP will still live long without a s

If you haven't, you should check mpd (music player daemon). Lots of clients, works very well.

Why is nail file so popular in those? Does anyone actually use or is it just cheap to produce? It doesn't look practical.

No. When you have to maintain the infrastructure you're a slave. Freedom is when I pay somebody to do it for me and move it elsewhere if I don't like it. I'm also tired of the trend of recommending FOSS when somebody is looki

Seneca lived in different times. By the time you get "proper education" and then secure yourself financially you are quite old in today's world. So better enjoy the process treating it as the thing rather than the means. Long

I think you can. Especially when you can browse the tree which is similar to asking your teacher "what if" questions. Many players I know learned how to play pretty well on 9x9 by playing a computer program. I'd argue you can

It's just a different world. Somehow we live with text being like that. Maybe we'll even learn to verify signatures from trusted sources one day. With deepfakes, in general I agree but it is a bit like computer security. It may be

Just a friendly outside view that maybe it's their house and you could just assume you are talking in a public space if that fits your worldview. Otherwise you may not want to talk to them on the phone if they are using android phones
