I built a sandbox that lets you simulate and understand the birthday paradox and few related problems. The birthday paradox tells us that in a room of 23 people, there are 50/50 odds that 2 people will have the same birthday (assuming a non-leap year and that birthdays are totally random, which they aren’t exactly).

I’ve always found these types of problems really interesting and counterintuitive. The “aha” moment for me was realizing that any two people sharing a birthday satisfies the problem, and at 23 people there are 253 different combinations of pairs between them.

I hope you enjoy messing around with the tool!

Built using Vue and p5.js, with probability formulas adapted from Wikipedia."

Stolen from Reddit.

The big drop in the 1970's was supposedly due to a change in the program to de-emphasize outdoor activities. The step down in 2019 was the LDS church cutting ties and starting their own program.

If you consider this as a proportion of the population it's an even bigger drop. In 1970 there were about 4.8M scouts in a population of 205M, so about 2.3% of all Americans were in Boy Scouts. Now it's 1M scouts in a population of 341M, so only 0.3% of Americans are in Boy Scouts.

Do these "cost per click" figures actually represent the money Google receives (received) from these companies for every time someone ends up on their platform through the intermediation of Google?

Does anyone know of other open source tools for this kind of thing?

I haven't tried this one myself yet. It does have a free option, but there are some limitations. Big ones being:

• Resolution up to 2000×2000 pixels
• 3 map exports per month
