The developer has some screenshots on Twitter https://twitter.com/nightcatprod/status/1439773812753637378

Seems like it's got humorous horoscopes.

Given that the screenshots are all of just text on a screen, and the development took about a year, I wonder if the rejection is more about the app being 'low quality' rather than about it being just another horoscope app.

Regardless, it seems weird to reject an app because there are already apps in the store which are similar.
Competition killed itself a while ago. Wait, no, I think it's still bleeding out.
What’s the point in adding more products if they are neither unique nor higher quality?
The Orphics had a heliocentric model of the universe before Aristarchus; in fact, the Derveni Papyrus, one of the oldest witnesses to Orphic thought, is actually a commentary on Orphic literature that interprets it all as physical allegory. Only Dionysus knows where the Orphics got that stuff, along with what we now call astrology: from the Phoenicians perhaps? Someone synthesizing Babylonian and Egyptian observations?

Until Reconstruction and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the US constitution, the statement "negroes are equal in political rights to whites" was observably false. That's a big part of why the American Civil War was fought!

And if the idea is unique, you still get rejected until Apple makes a clone of your app and waits until it takes the first place before letting you on their store.

I don't mean to sound offensive here but how much longer will devs who want to publish for google/apple stores persist with these mainstream options? Android has at least F-Droid, and a quick search for apple gave me ioshaven/appvaley[i have no idea about these 2 so take them as risky].

At some point people should either start looking for alternatives or start making them.Obviously short-term they don't have the "potential" of a big store, but at the same time the probability of making it big on the store as an indie(or even as a medium team) is getting smaller by the month.Pity is on limited supply when we've seen over and over again the intent from the owners of these stores.
I pretty much tune out any article that starts out "studies show". When it comes to soft metrics like "productivity", studies show whatever you want them to show.

How many studies never saw the light of day because the result was uninteresting, or ran counter to the narrative the study's author wanted to put out?

Just say "there is evidence to suggest" instead.
Why must the equalize everyone to the lowest level?
You’re right, a lot of people also know that the biggest impact then can have is participating in their local community and not by joining in on shallow sloganeering.

And there’s another more pernicious problem. People can care deeply about justice but have very different views on how to achieve it. It takes more than a lifetime to sort some of these issues out, and anyone with a bit of maturity has had their mind changed enough to have a bit of humility and know it’s not something you can or should do at or through work.

The problem with the sort of political activism that passes for personality these days (not limited to one side) is that it conflates bromides that everyone basically agrees with with specific contentious policy prescriptions on which there is little agreement.
Is this an example of an app that isn't unique or high quality?

Impulse Tracker, which was intended as an advanced Screamtracker clone also features character map graphics to show sample data. It was kind of mind-blowing back in the day to have a text-mode DOS tool with pseudo graphics.
Executives at non-profits tend to be pretty underpaid compared to similar executives at similarly sized for-profits. It just sounds outrageous because executive pay is just that high.
I think you are searching for explanations in the social realm while the truth is all to obvious.

Ham used to be about making connections with the guy sitting on the other end of the globe. That's a 100 times solved problem, much more reliably and with much less effort than ham could ever provide.

The second thing is ham is about making your own stuff. An AM/FM rig? With SSB? Your own amplifier? That used to be cool long ago when equipment was expensive. Today the equipment is all DSP, software defined. Little chance to lay your hands on, unless you come up with a new SDR like the chinese ATS25 or a malachite rival.

Ham is not dead, it just has a much reduced user base because of how things turned out to be.

I just thought for a moment it could be interesting to try and convince Amazon to do for their ARM kit what Google have done with their TPU chipset (https://cloud.google.com/edge-tpu, https://google.com/search?q=tpu+board).

Then I realized that

- If such an initiative succeeded, the developer side of the fence would lose ground somewhere, because Amazon.

- It would never actually happen in the first place, because ARM is so fast-moving now that everyone's doing everything they can to maintain their first-mover advantage, which of course includes being as secretive as possible.

- In the ideal case where an engineer actually
considered the situation, it would be all too easy (given the iteration that's happening right now) for them to counter-argue that it makes the most sense to just buy the Altera kit available on the retail market because it's technically the closest to what Amazon are using internally.

The evolutionary focus is entirely on servers because of the appreciable overheads associated with that market that can be tapped into to drive the R&D process - especially given the chip shortages at the moment. Inn the same vein, there are not likely to be any consumer-class implementations (or new products) until the supply chain has had a chance to figure itself out, which is probably not going to happen for a while.

You do it in exactly the same way you would if the NAT wasn't there.

NAT only applies to outbound connections. It does nothing for inbound ones, and thus doesn't provide any firewalling functionality.
What 'brand of politics' is it to suggest that politics shouldn't be a major factor at work.

Also, to your OP's point ... I think it's reductionist to suggest that 'companies are an exchange for labour' - this is too much.

Almost all educated workers derive some meaning and dignity from their work beyond salary or benefits.

So 'what we work on matters'.

That said, even if we work on 'some new currency that can help the world' it may still mean that whether or not the company should fly the BLM flag is a bit of a political matter.
I came here to say the same thing. In rural Tennessee literally zero people discuss regulations or care. I asked and I was laughed out of the room lol

there’s a 180 year old cabin on the property and in the 90s someone put in some red neck engineering — using just a random set of barrels for a septic system. So somewhere near there is a barrel that’ll collapse one day. No idea where lol.

The point of that story is, regulations aren’t reality in many of these places. They may be there but in reality...

Finally, rules regarding collecting of rain water or lack of green energy incentives should decrease the off-grid ability lol. First, no one can regulate your collection of rain water. Second, lack of initiatives isn’t a law or regulation.
Funny how when Israel does any censorship or engages in terrorism in its literal sense (stuxnet) or those mosad killings or same with CIA (recent assange London shootout report) its for "protecting democracy" or protecting national interests but if Iran does the exact same thing, they are labelled as terrorists and brutes and breaking "human rights"

Going to space, don't care.
After transplantation, these folks will be started on immunosuppressants. These patients are often re-vaccinated when they their cell counts improve.

If they state they wound take not the SARS-COV2 vaccines - what is yhe likelihood that they would cooperate with other vaccines.

This process is difficult for the patients and family. It is a limited resource. It makes an abundance of sense to be very selective in this process.
Moreover it's gross that Jack Dorsey is put on a moral pedestal and Zuckerberg/FB employees are villainized. I'm not saying there's an exact equivalence between Twitter and FB (due to lack of transparency around news feed, Instagram's impact on young teen girls, FB's history of lying) but the disparity in rhetoric and treatment is concerning given that Twitter has undeniably played a role in some of the same societally destabilizing things that FB is involved in, such as extreme echo chambers, abundance and virality of fake news, abundance of bots and scams.

I haven't figured out the reason for the out-of-whack disparity yet. Is it because Zuckerberg lacks charisma, because he has Aspergers and people hate the awkwardness, or because FB is the tallest poppy, or because journalists have found a credentialed home on Twitter (blue check mark)?

I'm in South Korea. We don't have many trans people here, the mainstream feminist movement is anti-trans, and most of the mainstream Christian movements are anti-LGBT. (My boss is Catholic.) Despite this, when we had a trans person visit my workplace ... absolutely nothing happened. They had lunch with us, nobody said anything about their gender, sexuality, or appearance, and they never mentioned it. Conversation was the same as for non-trans visitors.

Now, I don't know if this is because the people in my workplace are especially tolerant, if they were afraid of confrontation, or if they lacked a lens through which to interpret the visitor, but something sounds really weird to me about your workplace. Are the people in your region so vocally political as a matter of course? Are you in the bible belt? What does it mean to acknowledge the existence of a trans person?

They did mention that there were mitigations to prevent the knot tied in the wire from scratching the cheek. Would they have taken similar mitigations for a material like animal guts?

"In one of the dentitions, I saw that the tooth was filed a little bit so that the knot that was tied in the wire would not scratch the cheek," Agelarakis said. "It's very sophisticated — it's flabbergasting."

I have no idea either way, and in fact the researcher may have even been extrapolating too far in this case as well.
I don't think it's wrong for a business to advertise other products / services it offers on its web properties. Google wanted to get the word out so where better than on their homepage.

You know nothing about teaching and education if you think this is going to help. It's going to hurt even more. The reason why you group children with similar learning abilities together is so that they can progress together. If you stick advanced kids with less advanced kids, both sets of kids will suffer because the advanced kids will be extremely bored and the less advanced kids will get discouraged because the advanced kids are so much better than them. It goes against the fundamentals of education.
Correct, more or less! It's what the robot saw, not how (which is done a lot, but this is not that)... Algorithms pick videos that don't get much human visibility - but their robots saw them.

The algorithms that generate the visuals and sound are generally traditional ('cept for the eyeballs: OpenCV) but use machine learning to make decisions. So the "AI" are editorial rather than generative. See the website for more details..

There are various machine learning algorithms in the mix, but primarily in the back end.. they generate the section labels, talking heads and eyeballs, differentiating sound/music for the sound mix, etc. They also filter "spam" videos. Many of the "AI" algorithms are behind the scenes or not the focus of attention (since it's what the robot saw, not how.) The lower third supers on the talking heads are more what you were probably expecting. But it's something very specific (not my algorithm) and explained on the site.

There’s an old fable that the abstract painter Jackson Pollock would sit in art museums and watch people view his art. One day a man sat staring for a long time. After a while Jackson was curious what the man was thinking so he got up and approached the man and asked his thoughts. The man replied, “I don’t know why this is hanging in a museum, I could have made that.” Jackson replied, “yes, your right, you could have done that, but I did it first. “

I would prefer they provide information relevant to modern off-grid living. What is required to drill a well? Are there rules regarding potable water storage tanks? How difficult is it to get a septic field permit? Are their rules about running your own diesel generator? How much diesel fuel and/or propane can you store on a site? Are there rules regarding large batteries? Must such batteries live in an out building?

I read far to many articles like this that conflate "off grid" with "primitive" living. It gives the false impression that people on off-grid properties somehow must sacrifice modern amenities and play dice with basic sanitation and health codes. They don't. Off grid properties are just as clean and healthy as any modern suburb.

Sadly, I think very few people use it this way, billions of people use it as all-in-one hub, and that leads to disaster we see nowadays.
The point of ham radio in disasters is not for everyone to have a ham radio (that sounds like a disaster itself), but to have hams coordinate and forward communications. So they could, for example, sit at a community shelter and forward welfare messages to someplace that does have a sat phone (or long distance HF link) to send messages out of the area.

Though ham radios are no longer bulky nor expensive - I can hit a repeater 10 miles away from a handheld about as big as half a deck of cards with a 12" antenna.

"Stock for free" doesn't equate since it's stock-based compensation. To some degree you expect it to retain its value and generally go up. Some companies might create an expectation of a greater appreciation even. But it's not a "oh I get paid X for my salary and then so much more for free." If you get stock at any company you compare those offers and the expected outcomes financially. There is a reason salary+stock is considered "total compensation."
And in terms of it "not mattering that it went down." Of course that matters. Companies do things to keep comp consistent but if the stock does go down quarter over quarter people see that as a personal loss and a possible sinking ship. They can work somewhere else that is more stable or eve n has a positive trajectory. I have know people who had a family to think of and moved to a Apple since it's much more reliable.
In rural California you'll get a notice that you can't live on your own property if you don't have an approved septic system registered with the county. I know multiple people who have had this happen to them in a couple of counties, and have heard about it in several others. I personally find it kinda lame you can't live in an RV on property you own. The septic system approval process involves soil sampling and engineering based on dwelling size (I can't remember if its area or number of bedrooms) in the counties I'm familiar with.
100 years ago China was barely a country, ripped apart by opium, politics and various countries that occupied China. It took Dr. Sun Yat Sen and subsequently Chiang Kai Shek and then Mao to get China back on its feet and now is a global power because of its 2 billion people.

But you can't compare the innovation of China to the US... for the time being. Admittedly the inflection point is coming soon if the US doesn't get it's head out of its ass.
