@tszzl I don't quite agree with this framing. There are a lot of terrible applications that return fantastic revenue. But if it's slightly altered to highest value or something I'm good with it.
@tszzl Not a great objective function. It just inflates enterprise pricing and pushes normal users out. Oh wait…
@tszzl "highest revenue per watt application" Just say it. Profits.

@tszzl Exactly, exploit without explore is a famously good approach
