mircea_popescu: MissShibe: Hi all, if anyone has lost money in Moolah / Cryptsy we are working on a class action lawsuit against Ryan Kennedy. <<< because "class action" suits exist for the purpose of allowing a bunch of derps to not have to pay anything in civil claims against individuals now.

mircea_popescu: Tous les géomètres seraient donc fins s'ils avaient la vue bonne, car ils ne raisonnent pas faux sur les principes qu'ils connaissent; et les esprits fins seraient géomètres s'ils pouvaient plier leur vue vers les principes inaccoutumés de géométrie.
mircea_popescu: e bien nette pour voir tous les principes, et ensuite l'esprit juste pour ne pas raisonner faussement sur des principes connus.
mircea_popescu: Mais, dans l'esprit de finesse, les principes sont dans l'usage commun et devant les yeux de tout le monde. On n'a que faire de tourner la tête, ni de se faire violence; il n'est question que d'avoir bonne vue, mais il faut l'avoir bonne; car les principes sont si déliés et en si grand nombre, qu'il est presque impossible qu'il n'en échappe. Or, l'omission d'un principe mène à l'erreur; ainsi, il faut avoir la vu

mircea_popescu: which is, for lack of a different term, feminine guile.
mircea_popescu: of course they do select for the best quality in mathematicians
mircea_popescu: there are of course a bunch of iterative solutions to this problem, but that's "with computer" not ruler&compass.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i get the idea, but i dun see that it's such a good idea, either for us or for them
mircea_popescu: if people want links let them go the original route, do something newsworthy. have a designated pr liaison and there you go.
