Ask HN: What problems can techies solve to help world?
I'm using the term techie to be more general as clearly one could use a variety of skills to solve problems, not just coding.
Sure, there are all kinds of domains that the market will pay for and even more that investors will fund. I'm for the free market.
That said, I think that there are a lot of problems in the world that are barely noticed much less focused on by techies. First of all, why is that? It seems like more and more it's stuff like _Beerme,_ an app that connects people with beer with thirsty people or whatever. Is it because there's no money to be made in solving more important problems?
