Nah, that was worth watching.

Sounds like this is something developers bake into their apps, not something the phone enforces.

ie, if I develop an app, I can have the app check a special google "Integrity" API and if I get no response (or a negative response), just have the app close.

Let me paraphrase the LNP here:
"Private companies have researched Nuclear and decided it's not cost effective."
"Financial institutions have investigated Nuclear and decided they WILL NOT INVEST."
"But our financial backers at the Mineral Council and the private companies dragging the last of the profit out of their end of life coal power stations are insisting that we continue with our current market AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, so we've decided to announce an extremely long term plan, to scare private investment out of renewables short term."
"Don't worry, between NIMBYs in the target areas, laws surrounding nuclear energy, lack of local expertise and the general unsuitability of Nuclear for our widely dispersed yet small population, we won't actually build more than one of these things."
"Jokes on them, we were only pretending to be retarded."

.308 is 7.62, civilian measurement vs military (there's actually implications related to pressures, sidewall thicknesses, machining tolerances, but yeah same same)

They do a plant based version that is still delicious and doesn't upset lactose intollerent people.

We elect "Donald Trumps" all the time.
Clive Palmer.
Craig Kelly.
Barnaby Joyce.
Bob Katter.
Pauline Hanson.
Jacqui Lambie.

They only differ from Trump in degree, not in tactics.
This "article" is a thought bubble, not even a fully fleshed out one.

It isn't the crimes that Trump is accused of committing that are evil, it's the lieing, manipulating, etc that got him in position to do it.
The shit that Palmer did to get elected were basically strong arming an entire electorate to support him.
The shit that Hanson has done through funneling electoral funds through friendly advertising companies SHOULD be considered fraud.

System too hard to use?
Working as intended.

Every time they get a new applicant through:

It's not the android side that's failing, it's Apples refusal to implement anything other than SMS for cross ecosystem compatibility.

I have an American based friend who recently visited and I discussed this with him.

His house has an asphalt shingle roof, which is beyond common, it's standard where he is.
This means the roof supports are light, and won't tolerate the load of solar panels (direct weight maybe, but not torque from wind).
Beyond that, his states power company have limited the accredited installers to a group that refuse to sell panels, they effectively lease them to you, with an insane payoff period.
If you go independent, you can't tie into the grid.
He's subject to a HOA, which means he can't build anything in his yard without approval.

And so, whilst he's paid for his dad here in Adelaide to have panels on his roof as a no brainer, he's given up in the US.

The bureaucrats normally do.
It takes a politician to say something like “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,”

There's a perspective problem here.

Australia Post doesn't make profits and losses, it provides services - and services have costs, not losses.
Expecting Australia Post to:
A) Deliver packages of international origin for free
B) To unprofitable remote/rural areas C) AND turn a profit like a business whilst D) For profit courier companies undercut them on profitable metro areas...

Well it's not going to work long term.
And post offices are more than just places to drop off a package you want delivered, lots of people use them as their local bank branch for necessary in person tasks - especially in the a fore mentioned rural areas.

Long story short, Australia Post should not have been privatised - it's an essential service and essential services are natural monopolies.

Enormous ecological and financial damage?
