I assume/hope that the big idea for part 2 is that this setup allows for efficiently pruning impossible sub solutions and will result in an optimal algorithm. Why would you write an algorithm in C++ if the runtime will be bad?

It still may turn off investors though. Google wasn't immediately funded to the brim either.

It's a tech company with a market cap of $42bn and see was the fourth CEO to take the wheel in 2012. Of course, what happens at Yahoo! is news and that the conclusion that it went downhill during all the board shuffles makes sense. But
