    What in your opinion is the most interesting first-world problem? Concrete candidates with possibility of technological solution only. Ie “my avocado is always unripe or overripe when I cut it open” rather than “spiritual hunger and lack of meaning”

        This feels orthogonal. First spiritual world rather than first material world. People don’t need to live in developed world to have this problem.

        Choosing the right seat in an airplane. Seems like a non-trivial optimization problem given different routes.

        Knowing the perfect amount of food to prepare, to buy, to stock so it does not get spoiled or wasted. But there's always just the right amount prepared, at home, in your pantry etc.

        I'd pay a few bucks premium for a grocery / meal prep service that automatically adjusts the amount of food based on my calendar.

        How to convert the too large pool of material I want to read into a manageable summary, with the important parts retained, the examples I already know reduced, the bits I don’t care about removed, etc.

        Came here to say this. @mungowitz argues pretty persuasively in "Tomorrow 3.0" that the "uberization" of more products and services will radically change society, and I think this will bring down wait times.
