> Spotify has about 100,000 uploaded tracks.

Uh... That's off by an order of magnitude. 100 million tracks according to https://newsroom.spotify.com/company-info/

Yeah but 3 is less than an order of magnitude, and we have already established that within an order of magnitude is acceptable. :-)

Hmm for me an order of magnitude when talking is 10^3, but checking online it seems like it might be a french thing

HN user: my income went up an order of magnitude last year (read: 20%)

Same HN user: That’s wrong, the distance is an order of magnitude greater than that (read: 1050 times)
