downtowncanada··on Ask HN: What's one problem you'd like startups to solve?
I thought about this once... one of the added benefits would be that stores and restaurants could automatically be multilingual

you'd probably have to RFID the stock in a retail setting. I feel that restaurants are a better place to start (on account of less fluidity in their offerings)

make a remote control with a mic with one button on it.

the altekaker (your grandma) presses the button and asks her television to do things.

the audio is matched against previous requests, or sent to a call centre with access to her command prompt.

they open skype and call the kid she wanted to call

bill is about the same as cable per month OR for poor ppl, the audio can be sent to her grandson's phone and he can do whatever she asks and not be payed because he loves his grandma

if(typeof i[p] === typeof 3){//it's an int

  sum += i[p];
}else if(typeof i[p] === typeof [3]){//it's an array

  recursion(i[p]);
}

pretty simple no?
