What happens to that energy, though? Energy is conserved, even with gravitational waves, correct?
So, what happens to the energy - does some of it get converted into 'normal' potential energy by changing the (amount of gravity? gravitational fields?) of the stuff that it passes through - the weak interaction that you refer to?
And, if it interacts very weakly, does all of the energy eventually get used up this way - do GWs get 'used up' before they travel across the universe?
(Probably a meaningless question): can GWs hit the edge of the universe, and if so, what happens then?
Your mention of how it was 'impossible with HTTPS' to inject ads into web traffic made me recall how, two years ago, Lenovo shipped laptops with software ('Superfish') that injected ads into encrypted webpages:
This problem has been noted for some time. Past articles on the subject have shown how the various requirements for passwords come about through a combination of limitations imposed by the system they're being used on, or through misguided attempts at making things easier for users.
I wonder if there has ever been an attempt through a forum like RFCs or ISO to define a worldwide (or at least latin char set) standard for password requirements. Based on what i've seen in forums like this, there seems to be fairly broad acceptance that allowing a large number of characters from a character set with as few limitations as possible bests serves the interest of security. The thorniest issue would likely be about balancing requirements for increased complexity (eg capitals and lowercase, numbers, etc) with ease of use.
Your post was rude, misrepresented GP's argument, and did not contradict any assertion made in GP's post.
GP correctly argued that artists have always created, whether or not they were granted rights under a system of copyright law. He did not focus on or advocate a return to the system of artist patronage from the 16th century.
This same problem happened to the Ethiopian central bank. One batch, which had been bought from a trader, was discovered to be fake fairly quickly; another batch of faked gold, seized from smugglers, had been in their vaults for years.
