Ask HN: What problem would you pay $5M to solve?

2 pointsby kirillzubovskyhá 8 anos3 comments

I have come to a conclusion that solving easy problems is rather boring, but hard problems worth solving should also come with a reward worth the effort, otherwise the incentives are not aligned.

What problems do you have or have seen at work or otherwise that don't have a straight-forward solution, but would benefit the world/co if they were done?
