Furious with Apples App Store Guidelines 4.2.2
I’m writing this in complete frustration after our app has been repeatedly rejected by Apple’s App Store due to Guideline 4.2.2. Despite implementing what we believe to be fully native functionality and providing a unique user experience, Apple keeps sending us the same message:
"Your app only includes links, images, or content aggregated from the Internet with limited or no native functionality. Since this content does not sufficiently differ from a web browsing experience, it is not appropriate for the App Store."

We’ve spent countless hours developing features that go beyond simply redirecting users to external sites. We curate content specifically for our audience, and our app allows users to discover second-hand items through personalized recommendations, filters, and native search functions—something you won’t experience from just browsing the web.

Yet, Apple claims our app doesn't differ enough from a browsing experience. What really frustrates us is that major apps like Skyscanner and Gem.app use a similar approach—aggregating data from third-party sources and offering links to partner sites. Why are we being treated differently? It seems like there’s a huge double standard at play, and we’re left wondering what exactly Apple considers “native functionality.”

We’ve tried to contact their support, but the responses we’ve received are vague at best. Every time, we’re encouraged to “create an engaging and lasting experience that meets the App Store's high expectations for quality and functionality,” but when we ask for specifics, it feels like we’re chasing shadows.

We know we’re not alone—other developers are facing similar frustrations with Apple's inconsistent and opaque review process. Has anyone successfully navigated this, or does anyone have insight into how Apple interprets 4.2.2 for apps that aggregate content and partner links? How did you get past this obstacle?

At this point, we feel like we're hitting a brick wall, and any advice or shared experiences from fellow devs would be greatly appreciated. We're simply trying to build an app that brings value to our users, and it’s disheartening to feel blocked by guidelines that seem arbitrary.

Any advice on what do here?

Although there is no God, there are many gods (lha, sometimes translated as deity).

To add to the confusion, the same word is used for the so-called mundane gods like elementals and supramundane gods, i.e. beings who transcended subject-object dychotomy and can manifest also under a form of a god, whatever it may be. An inspiration for Clarke could be the famous Mañjuśrīnāmasamgīti or "Chanting the names of Manjushri".

To add even more confusion, if instead of gods we consider God and identify that being with characteristics such as omnipresence, all-pervasiveness, being beyond ordinary mind and so on - then one could attempt do identify it with the central topic of all Tibetan Buddhist tradition that exists under various names (primordial wisdom, the union of appearance and emptiness, self-existing wisdom and so on).

Sure, a filtering scan or an index lookup is better in chunked SoA (or PAX as we database people say) than without chunks due to the metadata filter options. We briefly talk about that in the out-of-memory optimization section. Most column-based formats/databases are actually inspired by the ideas of PAX, they often just use a bit coarser granularity (e.g. Parquet's rowgroups).

in 2021, after selling my unsuccessful saas business, i began searching for the next thing. as a result of my research, i noticed several things:

* Notion.so had a growing user base, and customers loved it

* More and more people (and businesses) were storing important info in their workspaces

* Notion users were publicly complaining about the lack of a decent backup option (i.e. they cared enough to complain)

* Notion announced that they would be launching an API soon

Basically, there was untapped demand and no competition whatsoever. I was undecided between 2 ideas, so I built 2 landing pages and started talking about both. I noticed that one of them received more attention than the other. As soon as I gained the early access to the API, I started building.

The rest is history.
If you exceed the inheritance tax exemption then you are taxed on the $10k so LTCG would be double taxing. You could argue that the inheritance tax should have a much lower exemption but double taxation is harder to justify.
You don’t have to die at the same time. If you leave everything to your surviving spouse, it’s also possible to transfer the benefit of your remaining estate tax exclusion.

You can argue that you don’t care about keeping multi millionaires in their childhood homes after their parents die, but it’s hardly “obvious” that it should be taxed.

Well, "homestead" exemptions are usually already a thing in most countries' inheritance laws. There is no need to draw stocks into the mix.

It actually is obvious, at least if you want to prevent a return of feudalist eras.

If somebody could get a high performance mc server working that supported everything except world generation, that would be immensely useful to a lot of people. Worlds are often pregenerated and this can be done offline by an official java instance, then give to the alternative software which players actually connect to.

I suspect the hard part would be getting total parity with all the undocumented intricacies of mob spawning and AI, and block interactions. But if there are slight differences from Vanilla this isn't necessarily the end of the world for players. Popular server mods like Paper already tamper with some Minecraft "features" in an opinionated way and for the most part players don't notice.

Valgrind is great, especially if you write extensive tests and you actually run them through it regularly. And even then, it does not prove the absence of any kind of bugs. Safe rust has strong guarantees.
I am worried where "official" C is going. Its syntax which is already too complex and already does too much, but that would require to "break" backward compatibility namely it would require "porting". But since it would be still "C" that amount of work should be close to "a bit" of "step by step" refactoring

For instance, only sized types:u8...s64, f32, f64... no implicit casts except for void* and literals, no integer promotion, no switch, no enum, only one loop keyword (loop{}!), no anonymous code block, and no toxic attribute like "packed structure" which makes us lose sight of data alignment... no _generic, typeof, restrict, syntax based tls, etc...

But we would need explicit atomics, explicit memory barriers, explicit unaligned memory access.

Instead of adding and complexifying C to make writing a naive compiler more and more complex, long and a mouse and cat catchup "to the standard" tedious task, what should be done is exactly the other way around.

In end, I don't trust C officials anymore, I tend to stick to C99, or even assembly (I am currently writing rv64 assembly I run an x86_64).
Well, not in C :)

Here's an example where Clang and GCC don't agree about the behaviour of auto in C23:

https://www.godbolt.org/z/WchMK18vx

IIRC Clang implements 'C++ semantics' for C23 auto, while GCC doesn't.

Last time I brought that up it turned out that both behaviours are 'standard compliant', because the C23 standard explicitly allows such differing behaviour (it basically standardized the status quo even if different compilers disagreed about auto semantics in C).

PS: at least Clang has a warning now in pedantic mode: https://www.godbolt.org/z/ovj5r4axn
There are two components, 'regular' SO2 and HCl and 'unusual' high magnitude H2O (water vapor):

From the NASA interview linked here:

And the first paper that came out about the volcano, they said, no, no, the normal cooling volcanic pollution is still bigger than the warming water vapor component.

From the wikipedia article you didn't link:

One study { of this specif eruption ) estimated a 7% increase in the probability that global warming will exceed 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) in at least one of the next five years, although greenhouse gas emissions and climate policy to mitigate them remain the major determinant of this risk.

Another study estimated that the water vapor will stay in the stratosphere for up to eight years, and influence winter weather in both hemispheres.

More recent studies have indicated that the eruption had a slight cooling effect.

~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Hunga_Tonga%E2%80%93Hunga...

Which is contrary to the time sequence you claim.

FWiW the AGU Letter you did link was an early one (published less than six months after the event, sumitted earlier) and it's inconclusive talking about possibilities such as:

Unlike previous strong eruptions, this event may not cool the surface, but rather it could potentially warm the surface due to the excess water vapor.

'may not' and 'could potentially'

Either way, according to the NASA interview neither marine fuel change, the El Nino event, nor the eruption combined are sufficient (as modelled, given their error bars) to explain the global increase observed.

According to the NASA interview linked here there are still other factors at play.

The consumer of healthcare is doubly removed from the price of healthcare. This is the opposite of a free market.

So the normal pricing forces of a free market are removed.

The people running the demo called it an expert.

Which just demonstrates the complete lack of respect for the domain they are trampling on.
I can definitely see the use case as it is annoying having to choose between actively looking at participants of a meeting on screen or _appear_ to look at the participants by gazing into the camera and not actually looking at them.

I sometimes use an Elgato Prompter to better enable eye contact during meetings. The camera and lens is mounted behind the screen so looking at the screen is also looking at the participants. The downside is that the screen is tiny and you leaning forward to read, say, a document does not look that great on camera. So either you have to zoom it substantially or read it on another screen, thus looking away from the participants. In this case though, you are not looking at the participants and faking that eye contact in this case would be kind of weird.

So make an exception for a single home the inheritor personally lives in and tax everything else.

Indeed the framing is very deceptive.

Yes, it helps to have a relationship with a private bank. But as pointed out, some brokerages will let you do it too if you are too poor to be allowed to enter through the door of a private bank.

BUT

The main thing that is skirted around in the article is that it still needs to go through the financial institution's credit committee.

So, for example, you cannot just rock-up with a million in Tesla shares and expect a loan against them, or at least not at a sensible LTV ratio.

The financial institution will want a boring portfolio with government bonds and low-risk corporate shares.

Any bank that would be willing to lend against a high-risk portfolio is probably not the sort of bank you want to do business with anyway.
The Daredevil Camera (2016)
Leaving the mental, emotional and physiological damage of being treated as a "matured adult" the moment you start your 14th year (or puberty) as a human on this planet aside, not because it's small, but it's the contrary.

On the other hand, the freedom of speech does only guarantees that you can tell what you believe openly, but never ever protects you from the consequences of your actions.

Just because some communities believe that entering puberty is enough for these things, it doesn't make it right or harmless. I can find many examples of wrong things which range from funny to atrocious but harmful at the same time.

I'm a big believer of GNU and GPL, and use the four freedoms as the blueprint of what I develop or participate in, however being right and wise in these subjects doesn't make one free from consequences of other actions one may take.

So as a result, linking to a comment telling that being 14 is enough for these things doesn't put the words into context or vindicate the person saying these things.

I may equally say that these words should be punished with a mouth pear (which I do not support in any way, honestly), but we decided that people should be punished in more honorable, better and ethical ways as a planet.

Then, just because some communities prefer mouth pear to this day, it doesn't make the device a legitimate and correct way to punish people.

So, your link to a comment doesn't provide anything in context. Just adds another person who believes in things which are heavily damaging the person who receives this treatment.

I read it a few months ago and was really impressed with how easy it was to read.

It starts out with simple stuff, like serialising data as JSON vs XML. But it moves into complex areas - like how replication and WALs work, including different ways of handling consensus when using leader-leader replication and how Spanner needs atomic clocks to handle it.

But even the complex stuff was explained in a way that I understood, which is an immense achievement.
Some areas of expertise require so much work, it nearly prevents the student from learning to appreciate the intent, the craft, itself.

Opening a laptop, even if the last activity was blaring obnoxious carnival music, should _allow_, not _demand_ the user to resume their last function - which was explicitly to _pause_ the laptop, by closing the lid.

If I close the lid, I am done with the computer and video; it is obvious that I am done right now - the OS/browser would be alerted of LidDown, and I would expect the OS to tell the browser to Pause (via some new javascript media API that I am sure exists), pagefile ram if possible/needed, and dump all console.logs to a temp directory, in case restarting from hibernation goes awry.

If I open the lid, I am attempting to use the computer. The previous quest can be pertinent or moot; but it would be oddly assumptive (against the ethos of general computing) to _automagically_ resume (especially a paused) playback just from first button press - at least give me the option to explore, format, or rename the thing.
