I wanted to share this word game I wrote for fun. I enjoy playing it and I hope others do too. No login required. (Once you pull it up, no internet connection required either!)
That seems unlikely. Those numbers only look related in base 10. 1/e is about a third of 1 and 37 is about a third of 100, which is why they look similar in base 10. In base 16, 1/e is about 0.5e2d58 and 37 is 25.
And prime numbers are prime numbers regardless of base.
And thanks to 1/e being 0.367, in Pokemon Go when I catch 1000 Pokemon and each of them has a 1 in 1000 chance of being shiny, I have a 36.7% chance of having zero shinies among them, or approximately a 63% chance of the reciprocate, AKA having at least 1 shiny among them.
1000 is arbitrary of course, but the bigger the number the closer to 1/e.
In addition to hiring new engineers, another challenge companies have is to get existing hires who have more context for the company's problems either get better or get more current with newer technologies.
"Oh please please please make a smart alarm that will make me up by only vibrating on my wrist" - Fitbit has done this for a while now. You can even snooze it. Fitbit calls them Silent Alarms.
Apple is being distroyed by the rumors that are being created. When they announce that they are going to have a new product, everyone thinks it's going to blow their worlds. Rumors start flooding in about even the most outragous products ( I even heard a few "sources" mention teleportion) This is getting plain stupid.
Apple is a normal company. Why does the public constantly expect them do the impossible?
Actually, these comments are not as discredited as one might think in hindsight. iPod sales weren't spectacular until the 4th generation of the iPod classic and until iPod Mini was introduced 3 years later. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Ipod_sale...
I think it's valuable to point out the problems with the current technology and regulations like scoot did, even though we all realize that in a few years things could change.
