My knees hurt thinking about how that shin is facing

S.24 - Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019

Sponsored by a Senator from MD, signed into law by Trump. Vote was 411-7 with the only seven Nays coming from Republicans. Trump either agreed with it at the time or knew he couldn't veto it as it has more than 2/3 support and would override his veto right after.

Legally they all will get paid, and acrue paid leave as normal during a government shutdown. The fact that the money isn't set aside and able to be paid for say up to a year in case of said shutdown is kind of a disgrace. Government shutdowns like this didn't happen until "recent history" (Ronald Reagan).

So congress was definitely behind the ball, but likely never knew they'd have to face a domestic threat like this until now. (Or presumably when Trump won president the first time and they decided to write the bill to mitigate damages)

I'm not sure, I'm sure every state is different too. May have to get around the sovereign immunity as well. It isn't impossible, as their are usually clauses that bypass it but Texas may have very few

Sheesh, what did that grandma do? Did she like start the oil/coal industry and command all the cows to produce more methane while kicking all alternative solutions in the nuts?

That was my first thought, the instance was likely one from Canada

Nah that admits they may have been at fault for something, much better to counter sue and make the people of Texas pay possibly billions of dollars in stupid lawsuits that they will have to look at their government and say what the fuck, we knew that was bogus

Yeah like if Johnson and Johnson counter sued Texas for their bet worth saying they are intentionally trying to smear and kill their company. It would be like $450 billion.

Yeah sorry I meant spotlight, smartlook is another tool I was thinking about for a different company. (Intuit, unrelated screen sharing I got the names crossed in my head). And yes Tahoe is the product that has those features.

Ah I think your right, likely Stjepan Hauser. Good call

Mail, Messages, Notes, Phone, Photos, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts are all being integrated. That's outside of the whole image creation, integration into smartlook (basically windows search), and whatever else I can't think of at the moment. The one good thing I've seen is that you can turn it off. But it does scan your text to provide synonyms, summaries, rewordings... And that's just what it shows when I click intro.

Nah we have it blocked in our management profile at the moment. We didn't want to deal with figuring out what could go wrong with it as particular updates come out so we just blocked it from all the work machines.

I mean MacOSX put AI in the OS, Siri, and all their apps as well so I can't really see how the change would be do to AI. Privacy maybe
