No one was talking about those things, the subject was the Republican appointment of a candidate who has a track record of disregarding the 4th amendment, and archer here said: "This is all about the left wanting to eliminate the constitution".
That statement remains wrong, as the democrats haven't even fucking done anything here. On the other hand the republicans are playing to get a guy who wipes his ass with the constitution on highest court in the land which is chiefly concerned with constitutional issues. You yourself admitted this, your deluded party bias has somehow convinced you to contradict yourself because god forbid someone on the left who isn't even a democrat say something bad about the republicans without you getting on your high horse and rattling off a list of irrelevant grievances.
Fuck you all, you're the reason our political system is a pile of shit. I hope trump gets us into a nuclear war and all you north american dipshits suck a giant irradiated cock.

Read the exchange between me an spectral for the context. Public opinion does probably play a role in the push for an investigation and the delay of his confirmation, spectral is saying that the accusations is some kind of plot to get him confirmed (yes, the exact opposite of what any sane person would take away from this situation).
The bolded part of your post is what I've been saying for a while now, although it's embarrassing that that's a point I even need to make, spectral here is literally suggesting the accusations are a plot to get Kavanagh confirmed and that he somehow wouldn't be if they didn't happen. Pure retardation.

Shouldn't have changed anything that would affect that. You generally get that message when the client fails to communicate with the server, e.g. you have a shit connection where requests are failing. Happens to me when I'm using my phone on the train and it goes through a tunnel. If you have a verifiably reliable connection there may be a deeper issue, but my guess would be strongly towards it being a connectivity issue.

It does not.In fact, YOU, are the one who brought up the subject matter of TOTSE (et.al.) which you are now calling "conspiracy theory", isn't that correct? (HOME PAGE of this site)
Nope, you literally made a thread about jeff hunter you retard.You sanction me (and other posters on this site) for posting in confusion because you dont have your shite together from post to post, day to day?
You've been conveniently "confused" since day one and haven't seemed to have caught on. Yes, the cultural norms here are different than on DH, and there was a time when our peoples were getting used to each other where legitimate misunderstandings or ignorance of the norms and rules were forgiven in light of this. But it's been like what, multiple months? Almost ever other date hotelier has managed to figure out how to post here, you alone remain "confused". I really think you're just pretending to be retarded to try and annoy me or something, but maybe you really can't figure out how to post threads in the right forums. Frankly I don't care. You need to figure out how to follow the minimal set of rules and expectations, the same as everyone else has, or you're going to have to go somewhere else. I don't care if it's because you're perpetually "confused" or just being a cunt.

Originally posted by DietPiano The suggestion that the world "ought" to be a certain way requires evidence outside of organic reasoning, such as hard evidence of the influence of deities on something
Well again, I point you to Kant who made a purely rational, axiomatic system of morality. No external evidence required. You might disagree with him, but if you grant his premises it's pretty hard to reject his conclusions, and his premises don't really require any more of a leap of faith than those we routinely grant in empirical sciences (e.g. universalism, some way to handwave the problem of induction, etc). No deities involved.
You've said several times that morality "requires" this or that, some kind of evidence, or some specific foundation. Where are you getting these ideas about morality? Because frankly there seems to be a pretty obvious counter example in each case we've looked at so far.
Originally posted by DietPiano The way viewing art will act on your neural system causing you to perceive it a certain way is calcuable. The way particles interact is calcuable, and you and your eyes and your brain and the painting are made up of particles, are they not?
Sure, we can mathematically describe the physical systems involved in viewing a piece of art. But that's a mathematical/physical description, not an artistic one. Perhaps artistic properties emerge from physical properties and so it's conceivable that we could reconstruct artistic properties from a description of physical properties. That doesn't commit us to the notion that artistic properties are physical properties, or that artistic properties are mathematically quantifiable.
Again, what would the mathematical description of the artistic properties of the mona lisa look like? Is it a big column vector with a 3 for the palette value and a 20 for the composition value and numeric values for every other artistic property of a painting? That doesn't seem to really capture what we mean when we talk about that artistic properties of a painting.

Originally posted by AL-LADdin If you are a naturalist, then your best guess should be that these things are in fact described by mathematical equations. So are opinions and lights. In theory, these are simply emergent phenomena within a system with a relatively simple set of rules.
Well like you said, even if this is your position it still renders the objection "we have no mathematical description of ethics" inert since, like you said, we don't need to have formed such a description for it to exist (and by extension for the phenomena described to have a status as objective).
But to go off on a tangent that doesn't really matter a little bit, I don't think "everything is described by mathematical equations" really follows from naturalism. The meaning of emergent properties is that they're properties not possessed in component parts, or at a lower level. Like sure, maybe we can give a mathematical account of the physical components of a painting, but in doing so we aren't describing the artistic properties of that painting. Like maybe we can even reconstruct the artistic properties from the physical ones (although in the case of art we'd probably also have to consider a huge array of cultural systems) but that doesn't mean we have a mathematical description of art.
It's not obvious at all that we could write some kind of formula or function from physical descriptions of art to artistic meaning chiefly because artistic properties don't seem to be mathematical. There is no mathematical object to represent them, it's almost absurd to think of some art evaluation function which takes is an sub-atomic description of the mona lisa and produces "5212 artons" or something. That's not to say the artistic properties of a painting aren't emergent from its physical properties, simply that being able to mathematically describe properties does not mean being able to do the same same for emergent properties.

Originally posted by mmQ Honest question lanyard, how is ought to be not an opinion? There's some moral, understood standard that we're not collectively aware of? Like a utopia?
Ought statements can be a person's opinion in the same sense that is statements can be. I can have an opinion about the shape of the earth and I can have an opinion about how we should treat animals. It's obvious that some opinions about the shape of the earth are true, while others are not. "Is statements" about the shape of the world express something about the world, they may not be true, but there is a fact of the matter The point I'm making is simply that when I talk about "ought statements" I'm talking about statements that have this same quality: they're either true or they aren't.
In this last little branch of this sprawling thread I haven't yet asserted that any particular ought statement is true. If you think there's just no objective moral demands upon us then you think that the value of every ought statement is false, as there is nothing that ought to be. That's fine. The point I've been making is simply about what is meat by ought statements, this is statements about how the world actually should be rather that simply how I want it do be. I've brought up a couple of times now that it's possible to hold different opinions about how you want the world to be and how you think the would should be, which at very least should immediately rule out the notion that ought statements simply express desire.Is there a mathematical formula that describes the ought?
There are many things which are the case which are not described my a mathematical formula. There is no mathematical formula that describes propositions like "Trump is the president of the US" or "my head hurts" but these are obviously things with truth values, and further which seem something we could investigate and discover the truth of.

Originally posted by totse3.com You worship Jeff Hunter, he not only went to it, he sold his product (which blacklisted me) as a guest speaker.
But I respect you dislike the Dreamforce even though I don't dislike them. I just respect your wishes to dislike it.
Regardless of what happened to me and that demonic application of his.. Much of the stuff is progress.. except the part where Salesforce works with Microsoft's updating. Nearly all of it. Fucking cunt move on their part.
I don't worship Jeff. I liked a website he set up and ran for many years, I respect the effort he put into that, but assuming the jeff hunter we can find on youtube is the same person I have no respect for what he's been doing professionally in the last several years, or at least the field he's in is pretty cancerous and he doesn't really seem to be doing anything different in that space.
Salesforce does a lot more shit than act as a MS collaborateur, they treat their own employees like garbage, they run marketing campaigns that prey on the general ignorance of their target demographic, they buy up public spaces and rope it off for their tasteless public displays of opulence, and they hold their faggot-con every year which means I can't get lunch downtown without waiting for a billion years listening to a bunch of bumbling cunts talk about nothing or walk down the street without some lanyard wearing shitlords leisurely strolling 5 abreast and totally unaware.

2018-09-26 at 4:46 PM UTC in Do you suck at regex?
You're right that you can't match a regular expression against a dictionary, only strings, but what you probably want to do is iterate over the keys of the JSON where you know this address might exist and match each of those values. E.g. if you JSON looks like:
{
"items": [
{
"addr": "Opts:map[Addr:0.tcp.domain.com:15273]",
"foo": 42
},
...
]
}
Then you would want to do something like:
ports = []
for item in loaded_json['items']:
match = re.match(r'(?:tcp://)?0\.tcp\.domain\.com:(\d+)', item['addr'])
if match:
ports.append(match.groups(1))
The regular expression there assumes the domain will always be "0.tcp.domain.com", and the protocol will either be "tcp" or omitted. If that's not a reasonable assumption it can be generalized.
