Here's an entrance to the rabbit hole: https://www.a1k0n.net/2021/01/22/indoor-localization.html

I'd eagerly read a write-up of what you did.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that number is not actually employee income tax, even though the report seems to suggest the same. Employee income tax is an expense of the employee, not the employer. If it is income tax withholding, it's way too small for $150k+ of employee comp, which is another reason I don't think it's that. Instead, I expect this tax line item to be primarily the employer share of FICA tax, which is typically considered a payroll tax instead of an income tax.

Really interested in seeing this movie, but lol at the thought that the owners of the mall ever saw a single cent from envelopes of cash stuffed under an office door.

Sure, if you're using brute force, instead of a polynomial time algorithm.

Hard disagree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_algorithm

Linear Assignment seems a very strange choice to illustrate the utility of meta-heuristics, when that particular problem has a polynomial-time solution algorithm that has been known for 70 years.

Watched your Linear Assignment video, and the whole time I'm thinking why would one ever contemplate a meta-heuristic for Linear Assignment when Hungarian/Munkres runs in polynomial time? I think I must be missing some context.
