I'm not an expert, but I believe the difficulty in this problem is purely from the integers. The objective is linear, and the constraints are also linear. Most solutions to IPs rely on solutions to LPs (and hence the simplex algorithm), but they try to modify the objective / constraints / output in a clever way.

One approach is to use the simplex algorithm, and then simply round the output. A better approach is a recursive meta-algorithm called "branch and bound." Start with a particular variable, and find the lower bound for total price if it is 0 vs if it is 1 by using the simplex algorithm on each side. Enqueue the branch with lower bound for total price. In the next round dequeue the branch with the lowest lower bound; if all the variables are integers return it, otherwise create two branches for another variable, etc. By changing search strategy from "breadth first" to "depth first" you are guaranteed to find a feasible solution sooner. You can also stop early by bounding how much error you are willing to tolerate compared to the lower bound provided by LP.

This is a very standard algorithm though, so I'm sure Jet have tried it. It seems like the number of variables they have is just too large; in the worst case branch and bound is exponential.
Not directly related, but can someone recommend a beginners resource to understand Kubernetes networking? There are some good ones out there that explain basic Kubernetes concepts like pods, replicas etc. But networking seems to be a more complicated topic, and most intro guides skip over it.
High-Fidelity and Low-Fidelity Prototyping: What, When and How?
I know that there are ads on the radio for law/accounting firms that will negotiate back taxes with the IRS for their customers. The theory being: If you haven't paid taxes in a decade, the IRS would rather have $1000 from you now than $0 from you ever.

Someone that I know personally worked with an accountant in the past, who was able to negotiate a similar deal. I haven't ever been involved in it myself, so I'm not familiar with the details.
So, question about pronunciation here — the “gik” part of the name would rhyme with “meek” or “freak” or “beak”, right?

So, for those of us for whom English is or first language and are truly horrible at any attempt to speak a foreign language like French, we should think of this project as “domo-geek”?

I’m assuming the “domo” part comes from Majordomo, but you obviously couldn’t re-use that name, right?
Nobody said anything about anyone's nose though. He said "you didn't write them". This absolutely has relevance to the problem of them not being written. Writing emails does not solve a software problem. Writing software does. If you want to solve the problem, do it.
> There is a difference between legal and ethical

I don't see this as an ethical issue on the part of Apple (or, for that matter, any other taxpayer). I don't think anyone does any soul-searching about their tax deductions, nor should they. The soul-searching happens when we decide what the taxes and deductions are in the first place.
> That isn't an easy point to defend.

Let me try: Ireland joined the EU in 1973. Apple was founded in 1976. This "deal" was reached in 1991, and amended & renewed in 2007. The taxes in question stem from profits in the years 2003 to 2014.

I will second having done this myself. There was a disagreement between how the tax credit for Obamacare/ACA was being taken by my mother versus I because I was transferring from being covered under her insurance to being covered under my own. The IRS said I owed more than I did because the tax credit couldn't be used twice, while my mother and I disagreed we bickered back and forth with the IRS for about a year but they gave up and let us count it.

Your credit is not affected. Large companies do not "only pay a portion of the tax they owe". They are following the law and taking tax exemptions. You can do the same. Disagreements arise in the details of tax law in how various exemptions combine with each other, especially if you itemize deductions. You can't usually just say "I want to pay less", you have to have some reason why you think you owe less.

This confuses me a bit, is he not more moderate than his predecessors? They've had some movement on women's rights with ability to drive and run for office.

Yes they're still terrible with human rights and they're still killing people in Yemen, but they were doing that before without the current improvement.

The NYT article about M.B.S did sound like a general improvement in direction.
I used to work for a company called ihiji (see ihiji.com) that specialized in providing a remote monitoring interface for Crestron, AMX, Control4, etc....

Those systems were all pretty good at the local management side of the house, at least for the modules they had. But they never had any clue about remote monitoring and management.

We spent a lot of time working out the protocols for those systems so that we could appear to be a local standard node on their network, in order to provide that remote interface. It was a major royal pain.

But I did get a good invited talk out of the experience, and I still think that project was the closest I ever got to doing anything really cool.

Woah, back up here. Cryptocurrencies are not unregulated, they are very much regulated. Those people you are referring to like the fact that they are self-regulating. If they were completely unregulated then bitcoin would have never gotten off of the ground.

I personally think that cryptocurrencies could do for a lot more regulation, not just from governments but also from public advocacy groups. We need to be carful about the kind of regulations.

Corporate income taxes are a double layer of taxes on investment. Investment is good, and lower taxes means more investment.

Apple's shareholders are currently subject to 40%+ total tax rates on dividends paid from US profits, and 60%+ total tax rates on dividends paid from foreign profits. Lowering the portion that's corporate income tax rates makes these rates far more reasonable.
The 'Katyusha' and 'Qassam' rockets are subsonic, or perhaps just transonic in the case of the Katyushas (which are quite varied)

"The Qassam's speed in the air is 200 meters per second." (= ~750km/h)[1]

The Katyusha rockets fired from Gaza are commonly quoted to hit Tel Aviv in 2 minutes (35km in 2 minutes = ~1000 km/h)

That's kind of a weird comparison since npm is a package manager and maven is a build tool, packager, dependency resolver, test runner, ...

A better (but still lacking) comparison would be "try configuring maven vs. npm+webpack", and then I'd say... oh god, I'll take maven in a heartbeat.
The Qassam rockets are little more than large, deadly fireworks rockets (see an image: https://usdiaspora.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/qassam-rocket...)

There are bigger ones than that of course, but the smaller ones are certainly subsonic.
It's not symmetric though. If I sell bitcoin to buy toothpaste, I will need to pay taxes and transaction costs, so I will probably just use cash to buy toothpaste, not bitcoin.

Ah, another fantastic article reducing lifes choices down to statistical analysis. If you want to be an inventor then work towards it.
This supposed legal responsibility to be cut-throat capitalists is somewhat mythical. You can't just give money away without justification. But management has extremely wide discretion in their decision-making. Almost all companies donate to non-profits, for example. Yes, you can argue that it is good for PR. But that argument also works for anything else that someone, somewhere, would consider "ethical behaviour".

Specifically for this case: there is no obligation to establish a super-complicated tax structure to lower your tax rate to 0.5%. Otherwise, 498 of the Fortune 500 would run afoul of it.

We probably can't rely on ethics, or, to use the term I prefer, "integrity" (doing the right thing even when nobody is looking). But that doesn't mean that we cannot fault companies for behaving unethically. If we expect people not to always exploit each others weaknesses in the pursuit of money, why not expect the same from companies? Corporations are people, after all.

I've worked in less than 10 person companies that split that role for a reason, it leads to far more effective development and better products.

A project manager's key role is to save money on developers. It's a hugely cost efficient role when done well.

A product manager's job is to ensure the product meets customer needs/requirements. Having them do menial tasks to remove roadblocks for developers is totally orthogonal to their most important tasks.

The EU processes are pretty complicated and limited in their powers. Each country remains sovereign and only signs up to deals they choose to so with for example the introduction of the Euro, which was mostly a French-German product, the UK and various countries chose not to join. The UK chose to join the single market which has common standards so Germany may indeed get input on our sausage standards for example but I wouldn't call that ruled by Germany.

The main things people get annoyed with in the UK are parts of the single market agreement that we signed up to such as free movement of people and the inability to cut our own independent trade deals but that stuff was there from day one.

An iPhone knockoff will not function as well as an iPhone. Whether material used or engineering of components or assembly of the end product.

It’s not about simple, straightforward metals either, but very specific, proprietary, researched blends.
Some watch brands use metals that make the watch incredibly light. Others, based on clients’ preference, make the watch very heavy.

Particluarly, in a high end watch, not only do you pay for the craftsmanship and artistic design, form and function, but also for accuracy (e.g. +/- seconds lost per day, how certain tilts and the effect of gravity on influencing loss in accuracy) and power reserve and level of complications all working together. No disruption from magnetism or other natural forces.
A lot of refinement goes into a high end watch. A fake becomes pretty obvious.

You also have to appreciate the scale. All that mechanics. Went from grandfather clocks to pocket watches to wrist watches. Getting smaller, more complicated (day, date, moon phase, alarms, etc.) and days of “natural” power reserve.

It’s quite fascinating engineering in fact ....

Earlier this year I was trying to reach the IRS, and couldn't get through via phone after N attempts with no email options. I called my congressperson, complained, and got it resolved through an aide in my congressperson's office with a couple easy phone calls and email. It was super nice. I highly recommend.

When asking for help:

- be specific about the problem

- say you've made a good faith effort to resolve the matter on your own (keeping a log of calls made recommended)

- complain about being a person trying to give money to the IRS, and you shouldn't be having this problem

- be nice when talking to the congressperson's aide who tries to help you

- don't feel like your burdening the congressperson's aide by working with them directly, as resolving your complaint/issue is exactly the reason they exist, and you're helping them feel good about serving, because that's exactly what their doing

- when the matter is resolved, thank them directly

- for future matters regarding "call your congressperson to say X" campaigns, you now have a direct line to the congressperson's office (don't abuse it)

Man Who Sent World's First Text Message 25 Years Ago
Eyewitnesses are potentially quite unreliable and the reliability can be heavily influenced by the stress level of the situation, relative racial experience of the witness (It's harder to recognize/differentiate members of an ethnicity you don't spend much time around), interview techniques and line-up methodology.

Yet eyewitness testimony is generally treated as highly accurate and some places do not allow expert witnesses who can educate the jury on the factors that can influence the reliability of eye witness testimony.
