admire

I do not admire or respect AirBnb for this behavior. I don't care that it worked.

I admire the absolute hell out of Valve and have for a long time. Gabe Newell is, for my money, the biggest mensch in tech.

If it's true, it's one reason more to deeply admire him. And can you just imagine how much more sales Apple would get now for not being on that list?

So many of the people I admire the most just don't care so much about image. And I've met too many people who've exposed their own shallow foolishness trying too hard to be cool.

The thing I admire about Apple, though, is that they're not making any bones about it. They go with what works better for them, and, as they see it, what works better for users.

I admire OP's financial project and appreciate his sharing it. I imagine quite a few people may benefit from it.

I can't say enough how much I admire your vision and determination. My apologies if all of this has already occurred to you.

It's a noble attitude, and I admire it. I am a college professor, and even though I observe at the end of each term that some of my students have failed to learn anything, I don't really want anyone to fail.

They'd say things like, "I admire your doing this, but you really don't have to because she doesn't even know who you are," or "You may be making a sacrifice now, but in time you won't regret it; you'll have nothing to be sorry for." And I thought, "How sad.

However, I have to admire his focus on doing the work he wants to do and his choice to do something socially useful to make his point instead.

One company you have to admire is Facebook. I don't know if its true, but I'm told you basically get fired at Facebook in the first year if you don't know how to deliver something of tangible value within that time.

There is nothing to admire, and patent trolls are merely smug abusers of our society. Organizations that follow the letter of the law but ignore the principles behind them should inspire our strongest contempt.

I really admire how much Notch seems to understand opposing viewpoints that most people would simply make inflammatory posts about. His diplomacy here, as well as with Bethesda, has been stellar: Not "Steam is a DRM-ridden mess that I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, bwa ha ha!"

Oh I know, this kind of cheap rhetorical trick is what all politicians and businessmen do, and it's OK if someone we all really admire does it, as long as his heart's in the right place. Maybe so, but I don't think it hurts to be a little more objective towards our heroes and realize that they can be prone to misjudgment too.

As fiscally conservative as I may be, I had to admire that. Additionally, I hate frivolous lawsuits, and having the government compensate you so readily for injuries really seemed to reduce the way people would resort to "just sue them". Perhaps there's moral hazard and I'm not smart enough to know how one would quantify that, but again - I had to admire that.

Once you set up a grading/ranking system, it is psychologically very hard not to admire people who end up at the top. I am personally a little dubious that the people with the highest scores would make the best pool of employees, especially given that this is an online course without the programming component, but what do I know?

When you're surrounded by people who are smart, capable and interesting, when you're surrounded by people whose achievements constantly challenge you to do better, when you're surrounded by people you respect and admire, then there's no need to worry about lunch.

I don't like the direction it ultimately took, but I admire the hell out of David for releasing his cool idea to users who then turned it into something incredible and wholly unpredictable. I also find it amusing that we're calling Svtble "great", when it's just a simple, well-made tool with one neat organizational technique it's like Quietwrite with a todo list attached.

The architect Christopher Alexander, who I greatly admire and whose work combines philosophical inquiry with practical reasoning with a fantastic mathematical rigor, makes the argument that what we typically think of as "practical" will never be enough to fully understand the nature of how the universe is organized. We can figure it out part by tiny part, but that's insufficient for thought or practice on any significant scale.

I don't mean to offend anyone, especially not RiderOfGiraffes who I greatly admire, but I think it's worth pointing out what other HN users have been trying to say. Posts like these are bad for HN for a few reasons: - they appear often and usually repeat the same message - they support the minority of elitists who already dominate HN - their content is only news-worthy to users who've been on HN for a while and not the new ones Basically, any content that is submitted to HN and refers to a user or a user's experience of HN is simply a popularity contest.
