I have an ethic issue with these kind of challenges and rewards. When a company spends millions of dollars, probably tens of millions on a project… $3,500 reward for, in a way, successfully contributing to that project feels off. Don’t get me wrong, the subject and goals of the work are definitely good but not entirely philanthropic. I feed like helping to find and fix broken parts of a billion dollars for profit industry should generate significantly more wealth than few grands

3500 is a weeks work of pay if you got 180k a year. about a weeks worth of a paid engineers time. How much time do spend on this?

  This being a challenge, if you gather only 20 engineers to participate in it, we’re talking about a pretty sweet deal that can open many avenues of research for the organizer of the event
