Particularly notable within the vast trove of phone records are what appear to be at least 14,000 recorded conversations between inmates and attorneys, a strong indication that at least some of the recordings are likely confidential and privileged legal communications
"Strong indication... likely..."
So, are they priveleged or not? What if the system actually worked perfectly, and no priveleged conversations were recorded? What is about the number "14,000" that gives rise to the suspicion that some of them were priveleged?
There are a lot of people in US prisons, you know, and if there is such a thing as an unpriveleged inmate/attorney conversation (I have no idea how it works), then there are probably a lot of those going on. What if they call the attorney's office and they're not there? Is that priveleged?
A little thought reveals that any number in this sequence where the number you're adding to the end (n) is has a factor of 3 makes the whole number also divisible by 3.
Ugh. I feel like I should be able to do this, but... why is that the case?
It would strike me that a brute-force approach is pretty poor for this.
Yes, yes it would. What makes you think the people working on this have forgotten to skip the even numbers, and employ all the other tricks at their disposal?
It would seem to rule out vast swathes of such numbers.
Well, yes, in a sense. But since what it rules out is an infinite subset of an infinite sequence...
Past that, there's not much left to check at all.
...you're still left with an infinite set of numbers to check through.
It's not about document archiving; it's about "live" documents printed to be used, not archived, and the impracticalities of applying e-ink as the solution in certain cases.
It's disputed that it works, but 17 babies have been created by this procedure so far. So, does it work or doesn't it?
That's exactly the question. The procedure consists of IVF plus "mitochondria from putative egg precursor cells." We know IVF works, but do the mitochondria help?
Forget everything you assume about whether or not there is a market for large format e-readers. Categorically there is
Categorically? Have you done any market research? Or are you just projecting your own desire (so strong that you've essentially posted off-topic to bring it up) onto everyone else, because you can't imagine why they wouldn't want the same thing?
A large format e-reader would be considerably heavier than a few dozen pages of sheet music. Yes, it could store more data, but that's not really going to be of much use to someone playing a fixed set. You can't fold it down the middle to save space. You can't make arbitrary notes on it. It (probably) doesn't photocopy too well to share with your fellow musicians (and you certainly couldn't put it into a feeder and leave it to copy while you make a cup of tea). It would probably be disproportionately expensive as well, since you would not be manufacturing them in the kind of numbers they make, for example, Kindle Paperwhites in - imagine the costs of equipping an entire orchestra. Page turns would have to be faster, and that black-white refresh would be a hell of a distraction. E-readers - last time I checked - are still not quite as bright or as crisp as printing on actual paper. And e-readers, reliable as they are, still have failure modes. The battery can run out, or simply fail. The footpedal is a separate mechanical device that can fail. Paper doesn't have a failure mode, apart from being actively destroyed.
Given an array of numbers, return the mode—the number that appears the most times.
The article goes on to propose two blindingly stupid and overly-complicated solutions which I can't imagine anyone ever even considering, before finally proposing the bleedin' obvious correct solution.
Problem 2: Missing Number
Given an array of numbers where one number appears twice, find the repeat number.
Well, you've just failed the "name the problem" part of the interview.
Problem 3: Sorting
Given an array of numbers in the range 1..1000, return a new array with those same numbers, in sorted order. There may be repeats in the input array. If there are, you should include those repeats in your sorted answer.

Why doesn't he say why we shouldn't buy one?

How does it benefit you not to have regulations that prevent devices from buzzing about over your head?
It benefits me because I like flying 'em.
Why are you so certain that that sequence contains any primes at all?
Why are you implying that it might not?
Consider the sequence of primes: it consists of nothing but primes! Gasp!
That's about as good as your argument.

No! First thought: standard library functions!

And so on.
But we have no way to develop them. There are no companies in the United States that care.
And is the rest of the world the same? It is bigger than the United States, y'know.
