When will Americans stop using superlatives and lie all the time about everything they try to market / advertise ? There was russian tupolev and french-british concorde before ya know you're not the first one unless you modify the meaning of words ("civil" here, used for "a private company", but even here we could argue that Aéropostale was a private company) you're using or you create so small a niche that you're number 1 in it, purely for marketing / manipulation purposes. I very much dislike this kind of marketing and makes me not want to read anything techcrunch writes. Why do we still put up with those basic and obvious manipulation techniques ?

Find something interesting to respond to instead." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - also, please avoid nationalistic flamebait on HN - it only makes the threads worse...
- ttoinou 2y agoAgreed about the rules but this is a real cultural phenomenon (culture correlates strongly countries) that this article illustrates
- dang 2y agoMaybe, but nationalistic flamebait was the higher-order bit here. If you want to post thoughtfully about a real cultural phenomenon, it would be necessary not to lead with that ("When will Americans stop using superlatives and lie all the time"), as well as to make sure that indignation does not drown out curiosity in your post.
