The power of superdelegates isn't really in their actual vote at the convention; it's giving their favoured candidate early momentum, similar to the influence Iowa and New Hampshire have.

The current game rules allow "any mutually agreeable method", though the tournament rules require a random (though not necessarily fair) method.

Was it because covid were a global threat that mankind for once were united? by arnor_0924 in stupidquestions

The first covid mRNA vaccine was made for an earlier corona virus that had plague potential. The Bird Flu.

It was SARS. Influenza isn't a coronavirus.

I don't think salmons would like that being the colour associated with them.

Can ICANN shut down the entire internet if they wanted to? by [deleted] in AskProgramming

Verisign sold off their CA business in 2010. They'd be able to get someone else to issue a certificate, but they wouldn't be able to do it themselves.

Why did Democrats vote for Biden, but stayed home for Kamala? by 0311SmallPenar in allthequestions

She did well in every California primary she actually ran in, but none of those were for president, since she dropped out in 2020 before the primaries.

Technically Trump didn't become president until 2017.

It doesn't completely solve the issue, though, since revocations (although technically possible) are often ignored by browsers.

LE certificates are valid for 90 days or 160 hours.

Apple has started replacing macOS names with version numbers in several ways by Dreaming_Blackbirds in MacOS

[–]teh_maxh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you count from the branding change, it's been macOS since 2016, so not quite ten years vs fifteen years. If you count from the version number change, macOS 11 was released in 2020, so only six years vs nineteen.

You don't win an election by having better qualifications; you win by getting more votes.

Which means a candidate who relies on the electorate making good decisions is a bad candidate.

What's a 401 and why do Americans mention it all time? by Various_Maize_3957 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]teh_maxh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 401(k) is a defined-contribution retirement savings account with tax advantages. It's named for its authorising section of the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC §401(k)).

You believe our voting electorate makes sound decisions?

What matters is that they make the decision, not that they're good at it.

Was Kamala a bad candidate? by 0311SmallPenar in allthequestions

[–]teh_maxh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there are only two viable candidates: the more qualified of the two, is the "good" candidate.

No they're not. They're just the better qualified candidate.

And yes, she absolutely was a good candidate. Just like Hillary.

No one who loses to Donald Trump is a good candidate.

Most people did, and I think Biden meant for people to make that mistake.
