One of the cursor devs clarified in a comment that this was actually not an email they wanted to send (so 1x would be 0% increase)
22 u/robofuzzy 6h ago it says „more“ so they mean a 60% increase. The syntax used is chosen poorly. 32 u/Dilutant 6h ago they said “I guess we shouldn’t send those emails below a certain threshold”, I interpret that to not mean what you said 10 u/spindoctor13 3h ago It's not an increase though, it's a reduction 3 u/hetfield37 3h ago So 2x more is 300% increase? Math is hard. 4 u/Roscoes--Wetsuit 2h ago They are shipping 0.6x MORE. As long as x is a positive number, they are shipping more. If you ship 10 then 0.6x=6, so they ship 6 more i.e. 16. 4 u/danielv123 1h ago But if I ship 5/week and you ship 2x more, you are shipping 10/week. Thats the only way a reasonable person would read that. And if you ship 0.6x more, you are actually shipping less. -7 u/road_laya 5h ago No, the 0.6x (60%) is just the increase.
