#12I'd donate all of it.
5 minutes to search through the best bang for my buck, then drop 100 million to the top dozen or so until my time was up.

#13Hard to say. On the one hand, part of me thinks it'd be best to spend it on marketing, since you could get a lot of attention for future projects if you could lock in say, a few decades worth of ad space on major publications and social networking sites.
Also:
* Obviously buy a ton of stock and crypto.
* Use it as an incentive for people to follow you on social media, join your site/SaaS service, etc. We've all seem those folks claiming to offer $1000 to whoever follows them on Twitter, a legit version with a few hundred thousand dollars per person would rake in followers like crazy.
* Transfer as much of it to other people as possible, on the assumption at least a few of them will pay at least some of it back.
* Put money in various online gambling sites, since hey, whatever I actually make in winnings is my cash.
* Go on a general spending spree, since 30 minutes is still plenty of time to buy whatever random consumer good or piece of entertainment media you'd ever want.
* Pay people to work on things I want done on an 'all money up front' basis. If they turn out to be scammers, that's not my problem.

#14I'd send daily limit amount to each citizen in the country, as a one time bonus
How?
Direct debits on all valid ibans!

That's the fastest, almost not regulated way to go, because the system itself allows for longer claim times. That will allow you to go through easier

#15I think this post, and that people responded "seriously" to it, is a pretty good sign people are starting to lose their shit. I'm not saying you should disobey the shelter-in-place/etc orders, but this is a bit much. You're asking the sort of question practically every kid in primary school has asked or been asked, but you're making it "more real" because you can't just buy a house in 30 minutes. For a follow up will…
It might be some creative brainstorming for someone trying to disrupt payment processing.
If not, I agree.

From what I can tell HN is mainly opinion pieces and people trying to prove that they're smarter than everyone else.
