I love the innovative ideas and unexpected insights from the HN community. Let's go deep - what challenge would you tackle if you had unlimited resources? Guaranteed funding, access to top talent, or freedom from your day job? Why would you choose to solve it? Do you actually need unlimited resources to start?
