(Note: I learned about this stuff a while ago, so some of this information may not be 100% accurate. But it's is atleast the general sentiment of 301+).

Why 301? Well it was supposed to be 300, but whoever programmed it said to start checking views when viewCount > 300, when he should has made it start when viewCount >= 300.

See, this post did have relevance to robotics. The lesson is know when to use >/<, and when to use >=/<=

Yep.

Check out the Google 301 hits video on the numberphile channel.
