I would love to get more details on the linear-integer solve methodology, as it sounds impressive. Was the problem formulated to also work as a linear problem where the binary or integer variables were first treated as positive non-integer variables, and then checked using branch-and-cut (That's how I would do it)? Or did you do something differently?

  Fortunately, we found a different plan of attack: one
  which allowed the integer-linear-programming solver to
  explore the problem space more efficiently and find 
  optimal solutions faster. What previously took an hour, 
  now took 0.2 seconds.

This sounds like a (more or less well executed) PR move. As this robot has wheels and very little clearance above ground, it looks like the robot would even have difficulties climbing stairs. Thus "escapes" seems like an exaggeration.

I did not identify how this service differs from using multiple SIM cards with the same number, which I can get for a small fee (below 10€) from my provider (in Germany).

Does anybody know how details about the specific implementation?

Did anybody find out how podcasts are integrated into Spotify? What interests me is if there will be a dynamic playlist of unlistened episodes. This would be great, as I don't know any good podcast applications for Windows.

EDIT: Spelling.

Anybody who spent some time on https://community.spotify.com will agree that Spotify does not give a damn about the opinions of their most passionate users (the ones that actually want to improve the experience by participating in the forum!). Especially since Spotify significantly increased font size and line spacing for no obvious reason [1] and no option to change it back even when this was a (from my perspective) widley demanded feature, I have lost confidence in the community process.

Alt-tabbing into Spotify and then pressing space does not pause the playback on my Windows 7 system either...

Hi, do you have an estimate when the SFTP option will be available in the Windows version? I have heard it exists in the OSX version.

This looks like fun! It seems that the copied champions are simulated in every run. As long there is no random influence you can probably skip this simulation, as the simulation of the champions is also most likely the most CPU intensive.

EDIT: Grammar.
