2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

To be fair, that is every lawyer.
I’ve met plenty of lawyer who were not intelligent, let alone extremely intelligent.
Yeah, a generic law degree can be got with basic rote memorization and gramarely for the papers...
I've been dealing with lawyers and court recently, they may be above average in terms of intelligence and drive but most wouldn't be extremely above that average. I've had to explain fairly basic math, with easy numbers (fractions like 1/2 and 1/3 regarding pay structure), several times already. Ie
Still had to explain that bonus is 1/3 total not 1/2 total.
Lawyer intelligence is logic games and analytical reasoning more than math.
i.e.
Stuff like that is cake for lawyer brains.
That would still technically be a math problem. I'm not sure if it falls in combinatorics, statistics/probability, or scheduling, but I've had problems like this on math and cs exams.
No, it would be a logic problem. They are not the same.
Logic != Computer Science != Maths
Logic is the entire concept and point of Computer Science which builds completely on top of math.
That's like saying phsyics is just math.
Completely naive; inaccurate.
There is no hierarchy of scientific knowledge. Most branches inform the others. If you don't see that yet, I can only assume your scientific career is sophomoric at best.
I mean yes they all build off each other. However, the basis for all science is logic? You take logic and observation and you use math and other previously proved physics ideas to create concrete proofs, then use more logic and observation to prove your findings. Repeat forever.
However, I said computer science, which outside of the physical hardware it’s entirely just math and logic. Yes, when trying to get performance the logic you look at includes the hardware and all its design and limitations. However, it’s not needed for most people or even this conversation. It’s an included practice when talking about computer science and isn’t necessary to mention it.
Pure computer science is entirely about using the hardware given and making logical decisions utilizing math to move and generate data in efficient ways. Some intersection occurs here when trying to do say, realistic physics simulations, RNA folding simulation, molecular simulation, etc. Those do inform each other but mostly about how to reduce the math complexity while still generating accurate enough data.
For the person designing CPUs and all the support hardware, then physics influences their designs by a lot which is where the real intersections begin.
Someone can't admit they're wrong.
This argument is older than Socrates, I'm not hashing it out with you. If you don't know what I mean, read a book or ask ChatGPT
Tl;Dr: you're fuckin wrong, bro. You can know 100% of math and know nothing of Computer Science. You can know 100% of logic and not understanding electrical engineering. That is just how knowledge works. It is a lattice, not a pyramid. To assume otherwise is to be "a fool."
You're (being) a fool.
You know, I've met a few people that I was told were lawyers before meeting them and I was surprised at how kind and empathetic they were. Then, as we would get to talking, inevitably it would come out and they'd say "Oh, I don't practice anymore. That shits horrible."
Every lawyer I've met that still practices is 100% dead inside and I've never felt like I could trust them. Maybe there are lawyers that break this mold, but I am going to baselessly assume they are only a few years from getting out because a good person can't survive in that world.
Have you seen the Kraken legal team?
Are you sure they weren't the Kraken illegal team?
I mean, yes
