You can always reduce anything to anything, but in this case, the reduction is relevant because it only adds a polynomial factor. Showing that a problem can be reduced to another one in polynomial time is core to proving np-completeness. Th

In this case np-complete and np-hard are closely linked: the optimization problem can be reduced to the decision version. Not all decision problems are like that (e.g. happy net problem), but for this one I don’t see the point making the di

So basically, Google is "adding" a blue checkmark to show more prominently that they're implementing dmarc if you pay them? Not sure what that's supposed to mean for users. Should they believe that Google doesn't im
