laudatory

This coming from someone with 5 start ratings and laudatory comments in all our reviews. And as for the "traction" techniques, quite common in US based startups.

You mean breaking institutional policy and covering it up doesn’t get you a gold watch and a laudatory press release?

But he didn't make the guy famous; Petrofsky was already a star, the subject of laudatory movie, and so forth. He became more skeptical and challenged Petrofsky's claims in print in 1985.

This was how I thought before I read any reviews or heard anything other than laudatory things about Wolfram. Until I read the reviews I thought there might be something terribly wrong with my understanding of what I just read.

The book is pretty laudatory of engineers and the tinkering mentality, crediting them for most of the inventions of the past age, rather than top-down science. Erudition is great.

I mean, the NYT tackled the tradcath subculture recently and it was sympathetic, even laudatory. [0] I think the NYT treats these subcultures as more curios than targets for cancellation.

It’s perfectly reasonable to be critical of one form of technology and laudatory of another.

Threads on Google here are very rarely laudatory; they typically make the front page because of bad things. HN comments tilt toward overwhelmingly disliking Goliath and favoring David.

The article is 90% about his career as a scientist, and is nothing but laudatory. 10%, if that, is about his relationships with women, and even the critique given there is tempered w/the observation that he had a strong and loving relationship with his wife.

Economists seem - boosted no doubt by laudatory articles about how precocious they were as a child - to have infinite self-confidence. Decades of research on a topic?

A certain large percentage being extremely vocal of their criticism of China, some being laudatory and very few striking a middle ground. Had the article been about Mumbai, Lagos or Karachi I'm doubtful such reactions would have been elicited.

It also comes from the Absurdly laudatory praise that WHO was giving China in January about how they were setting standards for transparency and how their quick behavior had saved the world.

CNN's breathless and laudatory tone in describing all these responsive changes from Apple just serves as a reminder that reporters should just keep their views to themselves. You can tell that this CNN reporter/editor has a tingle up his leg over Cook's touchy-feely professionalism...

Acoustics are perceptual and are heavily filtering the real world sound waves so I don't think its possible to reduce the laudatory cortex to simple filters like its ignoring phase or whatnot.

The tone of the first being laudatory, the second being contemptuous, academic history isn't in the business of telling readers how likeable historical figures were.

Of course it is that developer's prerogative to behave as he does -- but it is equally the prerogative of anyone else to decide that interacting with someone, who has such an unpleasant attitude toward anyone not unreservedly laudatory of his work, is best avoided. That's precisely the decision I made upon reviewing the original Riot.

Well, you could accept at face-value the self-congratulating laudatory first answer... or you could look at how apprenticeships traditionally work, the low wages, concepts like hidden equity, and the sale of restaurants to successors.

This isn't a surprise, since it begins with the framing of Internet advertising being 'used by dictators', whereas it is also of course used worldwide by non-dictators, where it passes mostly without comment, or sometimes with laudatory comments. Even in US eelctions this has been the case - campaigns have done their best to use all the technology available to them at the time on both sides, and will do so for the indefinite future.

> "Such stories were notable not only for their frequency but also for their laudatory tone; for the first time, women who fought back against harassers were regarded as heroes rather than comic characters, as subjects rather than objects. Society was transitioning, slowly but surely, from expecting and advocating female dependence on men to recognizing their desire and ability to defend themselves."

On the other hand, your basic critique rings true: everything I've heard about Netflix's internal culture -- or, to be precise, how Netflix likes to position its internal culture -- seems a little too self-consciously "high speed, low drag," to the point where even the laudatory article I linked to admits that "workers feel legitimately afraid of losing their jobs at all times." Yes, Netflix is full of amazing engineering challenges, and I'm sure compensation is excellent, but I doubt you can underestimate the psychological toll of working in an environment that makes stack-ranking look like a union shop.
