simplified and decentralized as it was meant to be

The protocols behind email are extremely simple. You can open a terminal, connect to an smtp server, and send an email by typing literally plain English commands.

Its simplicity and decentralization is exactly why spam and phishing is such a problem. Anyone can send an email as anyone else. Protocols for authentication were later introduced to at least mitigate impersonation, but those too are very simple and decentralized.

Maybe you should learn how email works today before trying to reinvent it.

The context is not the same. A snippet is incomplete and often lacking important details. It's minimally tailored to your query unlike a response generated by an LLM. The obvious extension to this is conversational search, where clarification and additional detail still doesn't require you to click on any sources; you simply ask follow up questions.

With Gemini?

Yes. How do you think the Gemini model understands language in the first place?

If it's just that and links to the source, I think it's OK.

No one will click on the source, which means the only visitor to your site is Googlebot.

What would be absolutely unacceptable is to use the web in general as training data for text and image generation.

This has already happened and continues to happen.

They mention not wanting to pay more than 30% of their budget to mortgage costs, which they stated with "$5,000 being 50%", which means their real adjusted income is closer to $120,000, not $250,000.

It's entirely possible that after about 30% effective tax, they're left with $175K net and set aside $55K for savings (retirement, college, etc).

The article explains that one obvious downside is it'll put downward pressure on base wages for these employees, with the justification that their take home pay will remain the same. And I expect that's exactly what would happen.

Random passwords and MFA all the way!

My assumption is Trump and his top advisors all have regular and friendly dealings with foreign adversaries.

So I expect this was less of a security breach and more of an accidental disclosure along with other intentionally disclosed information. Something along the lines of an assistant was asked to email the candidate dossiers and oppo research, and they zipped up the entire folder sitting on their desktop named "candidates".

Great! Now you'll not only need to convert between timezones but also between metric and standard time.

Also the respective intervals adjusted by leap days and leap seconds will be different!

Duh. Trump is open to anything that will get him more money from idiots or re-elected so he can avoid consequences for his multitude of crimes. Ideally both.

If the twitter twit said he'd give Donald $50M to support a ban on cantaloupe, the next press conference with him would be someone should really look into this and the Fox news headline the next day would be about dangerous illegal immigrants smuggling fentanyl inside cantaloupe.

This isn't the evolution of C at all. It's all just one language and you're simply stuck in a lower dimension with a dimensionally compatible cross-section.

This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I'm surprised Tucker isn't a proposed moderator.

Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.

It sounds like you're both just underpaid. If you and your uncle had higher wages, and he still received assistance on top of that, would you still care?
