praising

And now all these women and men are praising her as a hero. Worse it appears that some assumptions on her part are not correct.

I'd write nonsense articles praising the government too.

Contrary to what most people apparently believe, praising your own kids in public, or your love for them, isn't helping them. It's helping you.

Half the time I see people praising Chrome it's because of something thoroughly mundane, like an address bar, or saving files, or links. Did you guys browse the web using potatoes before you got Chrome, or what?

It's great to see Gruber praising it like this: it is very praiseworthy. Also, it's easy to forget that Gruber is first-and-foremost a design geek.

I'm always amused by these posts praising how everything just works on the Mac, and how it's so nice not having to worry about [annoying linux/windows stuff #351]. Am I really the only one blind to this effect ?

You'll find lots of people either praising or bashing it but having no basis for comparison. Star ratings are completely screwed because lots of people give both one and five star ratings based on completely insane criteria.

After any major crime you hear that someone has been arrested because they have set up a fan page or wrote some stupid comments online praising the person who did it. I would have thought Facebook moderation would be sufficient.

Make an obviously absurd first draft, "tone it down", get it passed and everybody's praising them for their moderation. Meanwhile, it's exactly the "large online news websites" that were targeted.

To me, this is like praising a farmer for feeding the world while criticizing the company who builds his tractors for indulging in self-pleasure. Yeah, people can't eat tractors, but those tractors enable a vast increase in the farmer's food output.

I'm tired of articles praising some service provider or payment processor only to find they are US-only and may support the EU in 'the future'. I'm tired of rants about carrier practices that only affect the US as if it is universal.

Also in the explicit text is the decision maker praising an actual employee for probably being free of the thoughtcrime that is a firing offense at his employer. Does that ping your Ominous Sentences radar just a little bit?

I have also noticed that Googlers aren't fans of saying "Disclaimer: I work for Google" but go straight into praising Google's Product A and Feature B as if they had no bias." Google is good and Microsoft is evil" is getting a little tiring and IMO is no longer true.

Loads of times we've received pretty insulting emails, but done our best to be polite and helpful back, more times then not we've received a really thankful and praising email back in response. A lot of times customers forgot they're sending a message to a real person, and just think they're contacting a faceless corporation.

I've been in many conversations explicitly praising Singapore -- a country that permits death sentences for minor infractions -- as a viable model of the future. The thing that makes Singaporification scary is that it works.

And don't get me wrong, I am a Mac user, just a highly frustrated one when I see people praising them as the second coming of the prophet even though a lot of extremely useful features are just missing because some dude at Cupertino decided that Mac users didn't need them. PS: Negative post, I know, but it feels good.

I see it as an appeal to please downvote my comment because it isn't germane to Pow. * Sam Stephenson posts a comment thanking someone else for praising Pow, because he's happy not to see FUD about Pow. I now feel very bad, because I can see why he feels FUD'd. I'm having a bad week, so I don't communicate this very gracefully.

> You can read 1000 praising comments, but if just one of them is bad, it will ruin your whole day. It's important to quickly get desensitized to this, because if you're even moderately successful, the volume of YouTube quality feedback directed at your very own pride and joy can quickly become overwhelming.

You've managed to address privacy problems with the Linkedin Intro while praising the technical solution. This is a great example of constructive criticism that I, for one, would like to see more on HN. Constant raging decreases the efficiency of knowledge transfer and community building.

Additionally, it saddens me to see so many people uncritically praising the idea as if it was anything other than a spam house. GitHire does nothing more than scrape GitHub profiles and spam users with unsolicited junk mail -- regardless of the users's qualifications or desire to be recruited.

In some cases, this means right-wing activists boycotting and gay-marriage advocates praising Target for same-sex wedding registry ads; in others, it's blue-staters deciding not to eat at Chik-Fil-A for its right-wing political donations, and red-staters buying that 24-piece combo for the exact same reason. Personally, I do think that Eich did all the right things as far as policy and PR goes, and I'm actually a bit sorry that he's stepping down.
