But is the universe even modeled by real numbers or is this solely a concept of the mathematical domain? Hawking calculated the Bekenstein bound, which proved an upper bound on the amount of information that can be contained within a given

I disagree. You say that "Things are not organizing better than they 'ought to, they've just happened to organize to a sufficient point that we exist and perceive this process and say things about it". Let's assume we are but one of an inf

As someone who has a keen interest in reading about evolution and artificial intelligence, I'm a bit disappointed they had to bring an anti-God slant to the article. Other than that, I certainly believe it's possible to generate something "

Haha, if you could find that again I'd like to see it!

=STDEV('Raw Data'!C2:C252/(1*MID('Raw Data'!A2:A252,LEN("Customer "),LEN('Raw Data'!A2:A252)-LEN("Customer ")+1))) It's an array formula which means instead of pressing ENTER, press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

1. What is the average amount owed? =AVERAGE('Raw Data'!D2:D252) $547.55 2. How many music customers are there? =COUNTIF('Raw Data'!B2:B252,"Music") 103 3. What is the due date of the customer in zip code 11680?

Well dang it, what was the Excel challenge? Of course we all want to try it :)

I agree. There is no combination of text that should cause a browser to crash. Why the people in the discussion were blaming the HTML markup is beyond me.

What's with the downranks? Can someone provide an explanation? The guy provided a rather useless comment that comes across as insulting to most people trying to develop a start-up. Any 20 year old using rails and Heroku to try and create

You must be a joy to hang out with.

Explain to me again why you should have something for free that I created by putting years of my life into it?

Great work! I have one suggestion though. Let users immediately start filling in information and THEN let them create an account. I wanted to try it out, but then realized I needed to put my email in and select a password. Not a bad thi

You seem to be subtly implying something about people that use dynamic languages.

See, that's what makes it intriguing. Simple systems can become incredibly complicated over a few iterations very quickly. It is one area that humans are (currently) horrible at predicting -- thus it's barely science if you can only barel

The problem with that is that some things we currently regard as scientific can neither be described well or controlled. Quantum mechanics is a good example. The defining characteristic that still makes it science is that we can predict t

Your view is the same as mine. Chemical engineer here with an interest in quantum physics. A lot of people take the view that God directly created "stuff", as in He literally created the earth or literally put together the universe. My v
