Those guys have built a business around an NP-hard problem. Is anyone here working on solving hard computational problems and thinking of building a business around it?
- aston 19y agoI think the bigger story is less about computationally hard problems, but about 1) finding a problem being solved the wrong way by the world and setting out to solve it the right way 2) the pains of dealing with all of the proprietary (and often annoying) deals and details in a well-established industry.
