I asked it to retry, and got this:
function calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(coconutWeight) { // Assume that a sparrow can carry a maximum of 1.5 ounces of weight if (coconutWeight > 1.5) { return 0; }
// Assume that the flight velocity of a sparrow is 5 meters per second // and the weight of a coconut is 0.5 ounces return 5 * (1 - (coconutWeight / 0.5)); }
// Example usage: console.log(calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(0.5)); // Output: 4 meters per second console.log(calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(1.0)); // Output: 3 meters per second console.log(calculateSparrowFlightVelocity(1.5)); // Output: 0 meters per second (sparrow cannot carry this weight)
Can any Monty Python fans confirm if this is correct?

Mar 2019 - H. Left the company, all permissions removed except on one game which we were still using H.'s consultation on - The app was unpublished later on
04 Dec 2021 - Termination of H. (Former Employee) account because of multiple policy violations
26 Jan 2022 - Termination of our company account (Raya Games Ltd - AKA TOD Studio) without prior notices and warnings
I think the 04 Dec 2021 is Google's termination of the "H" account.
In fact it's a funny rite of passage for most lawyers: after graduation they have to work for 3 years for a law firm before they are allowed to take the bar exam and become "real" lawyers. During this time they earn a salary. When they finally become "real" lawyers by passing the bar, they get fired. :) And immediately taken back on as contractors.

Second post on the page.
HN does this too, if enough people downvote a comment it will disappear from the conversation, but not from the posters viewpoint (and if you have showdead on, as a reader it shows up as lighter and lighter shades of grey).
The rational behind it is that if a spammer notices that their post/account has been banned, they can quickly spin up another one.
Apparently this is quite effective against spammers, (or used to be) but of course seems extremely unfair in the case of false negatives.
So when you say dishonest - how would you feel if the fine article was written by someone who said he had wasted 2 months on Medium writing posts that try to trick people into downloading malware before he realised that Medium had shadowbanned his account?
Simple = One thing not 'mixed - linked - folded' with anything else. That's why he says it is objective - if you look at something and see it's mixed up with something else, it's not simple (in his terms, now it's complex - eg many things woven together)
Easy = Near to you. Near in as you know it already, or you have it already and so on.
His talk is for the dev pov, but even outside of dev, simple does not mean easy all the time.
For example, (and something I am struggling with right now) it is simple to lose weight - eat less calories than you burn each day. Simple.
But I can attest it is far from easy.
Q1: Yes and No. From what I've seen (anecdata) an group of people working together ten to generate better ideas than one person could. The No comes from the fact that oftentimes one person came up an idea that they wouldn't have found without the other people.
Q2: Much better. Normally through 2 ways: first, defense of an idea make you have to improve it so that it gets accepted. second if the idea is collaborated upon the multiple feedbacks on forming the idea improves it.
Q3: My first knee jerk reaction to this question was that you need to limit the amount of people involved because communication is key: say 6-9 people. But on further thought, if your communications channels are set up well (forums, slack, IRC etc.), then you can go to the wisdom of the crowds, so maybe scale would work.
Q4: If the R&D lab is set up right, yes, you could get fundamentally better ideas, for various reasons: - facilities, collab, standing on the shoulders of giants (by this I mean building on what others have already built) etc.
Could I just say "Communism" and thereby prove you wrong?
>Now the supervisor of the policewoman who had conducted the questioning wrote her an email telling her to rewrite the statement from S. W.
>On the basis of the revised statement from S.W., an appeal was filed against the public prosecutor’s attempt to suspend the investigation, and on Sept. 2, 2010, the rape proceedings were resumed. A legal representative by the name of Claes Borgström was appointed to the two women at public cost. The man was a law firm partner to the previous justice minister, Thomas Bodström, under whose supervision Swedish security personnel had seized two men who the U.S. found suspicious in the middle of Stockholm. The men were seized without any kind of legal proceedings and then handed over to the CIA, who proceeded to torture them.
This may be how his right could be violated in Sweden.
