    The only thing I would add is that with the electoral system, it’s not the candidate with the most electoral votes that win, it’s the candidate who gets half+1 votes (270 or more currently)

    If candidate A wins 250 votes, candidate B wins 200 votes and candidate C wins 88 votes, candidate A does not win. If there is no winner, the house of representatives votes for president, each state getting one vote.

    Another reason why third party presidential candidates are never serious contenders.







  • I don’t know the value in a decentralized IP rights system. If the key holder gets phished, you can lose your rights to a TV series you’ve been working on. (Like Seth Greene)

    He wouldn’t have lost it and had to pay back the ransom in a traditional contract. Having a contract centralized and enforced by the legal system has many perks and I can’t ever see how a decentralized rights platform can enforce itself.

    If they weren’t ambiguous, then you wouldn’t see them getting popular. The difference of opinion drives engagement which means it’s more likely to show in your feed because that’s how most social media algorithms work.

    Things that everyone agrees on don’t get engagement, so they don’t bubble up to the top.
