What's crazy is the original poster was something of a superuser on reddit. First to 1 million karma iirc
And he lost basically all popularity after that comment.
In retrospect: it was pedantic but so mundane. He was just being a prototypical redditor
This is a good thing why you trying to spin it as bad?
Arbitration has always favored companies.
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

What I find particularly interesting is that it's an ad they're serving directly from their own infrastructure - ublock isn't blocking it as an ad.
Corporations exploit the enthusiasm and passion of developers and designers for their own profit.
This is 1000% a decision people made at lower levels which the corporation allowed. Which is very different than a cynical marketing exec coming up with it.
It is very rare that cynical marketing execs are both that chronically online and in a decision making position that lets them do things that are "risky" or "waste employee bandwidth"
That's pretty normal for financial charts like this though.

I honestly think that difference in opinion speaks highly of Banks as an author - the books speak to us differently and he wrote diverse enough stories that they capture each person separately.

Big disagree on the best - Use of Weapons, Surface Detail and Consider Phlebas are the favorites of my partner and me.
Not that the 3 listed are bad just that I like my 3 more :)
