It’s more about regulations rather than development. It’s forbidden here, so taxi drivers can still make a good living rather than subsidizing a billion dollar company


At the moment it runs without an internet connection after you download it the first time


That seems quite doable but it would require a backend to store the OAuth


Public sheets don't require oauth, i am using public sheet as test url to display csv in my tool.


That is my plan, but hosting on something that’s subject to US regulations seems like a problem and limits options quite a bit.


Use an EU-based host, it should be better.

You might even have to host different versions in different regions if you want to be fully compliant in all countries with their versions of GDPR.


One extra buzzword and they would have done bingo!

A dynamic system is a system whose evolution doesn’t simply depend on its input at time t, but also to its internal state. In this case the wealth at time t does not simply depend on the outcome of the coin toss, you also need to know the value of the wealth before the coin toss.


A dynamical system is typically 100% internal state. It's just

1. A state space X

2. An evolution map f: X -> X

3. A measure \mu on X, preserved by f (such that f_*\mu = \mu) and where \mu(X) = 1.

To represent a series of i.i.d. random variables you can typically just represent them as a sequence of values with a joint probability distribution as the invariant measure.

If you've got a space X of such sequence you can also add the current value to it to get IR x X, with a map f: (x,t) -> x * 1.5 if t[0] is heads & x * 0.6 otherwise. But you'll have to tell me it's invariant measure because I can't come up with one.


“Select all elements from catalog” did not work...


I tried English and Italian and I was a bit surprised... my son’s name which is Leo and valid in both languages wasn’t there... while there were at least dozens of names so archaic most people would never hear them in reality! Not sure where you got your sources


I just goaded my Italian partner with a link to the page containing our toddler's name - we agreed on the name itself, which is known in both countries, but not the exact spelling.

I was pleased this page preferred my interpretation, so as an asshole Scot, I was quick to share it.

Her response was less than enthused...


I checked French & Italian and the data source is rather bad : Bonny ? Blondene ?
