Walt Disney World’s governing district made up of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ appointees is dragging its feet in providing requested documents to Disney in a lawsuit over who has design and construction powers over the company’s sprawling theme park resort in central Florida, Disney said in court papers.
Disney on Thursday accused the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District of “dodging its obligations” and asked a Florida judge to delay any decision on whether the case should proceed until the company gets documents and conducts depositions needed to argue against a summary judgement requested by the district.
A hearing is scheduled for mid-December. Disney is seeking a delay of two and a half months.
I saw a comment about Disney lawyers a while back. This guy said he used to date a girl whose father was a Disney lawyer. He described the father as extremely intelligent, driven and completely soulless.
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…
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.
I've known two lawyers who broke that mold. They both died of brain cancer.
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.
Have you seen the Kraken legal team?
Are you sure they weren't the Kraken illegal team?
I mean, yes
