Apple is not acting as private police, as they do not have powers of arrest. All they can do is forward what they find to the actual police.

The US and UK have administered an almost identical number of vaccine doses per capita (73.8/100) as of this writing. However, because the two countries have different dosing strategies, the UK has a higher proportion of people who have been at least partially vaccinated (51.0% vs 44.1%), while the US has a higher proportion of people who have been fully vaccinated (22.8% vs 31.6%).

It's hard to find an example of a law that simply repeals another law and does nothing else. One example I have found that repeals and does other things is the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and you can see that Section 101 repeals two other Acts.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: Comments on Politics SE are not the place to debate the merits of mail-in ballots. There are plenty of other places on the Internet which will welcome this discussion. Please take it there. Thank you.

@zibadawatimmy I say the same to you as I say to JustMe: This isn't a debating forum.

@JustMe I see you've not actually taken the tour or visited the help center on this site. If you had, you'd know that this website isn't a debating forum.

@JustMe If someone were to post a thinly-veiled attempt to argue in favour of mail-in voting on this site, I'd vote to close it too, just as I did with this one. So pipe down with your everyone-who-disagrees-with-me-is-a-liberal-scumbag nonsense.

This appears to be a thinly-veiled argument against mail-in voting and not a good-faith effort to learn about politics.

The standards that you mentioned already (ex. email) are defined by the International Engineering Task Force (IETF), which started out as an agency of the US Government. While IETF has defined standards for many things, they are all voluntary, and is up to individual companies to decide whether, and to what extent, they are to be implemented.

Is there a particular country you're asking about? For those countries where I have lived, the tax bracket system is continuous.
