Tell HN: Merry Christmas
I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
- satysin 10y agoAnd to you giosch! Wow 2016 has been an interesting year! Especially for us Brits/Europeans and Americans. Looks like 2017 will be a big year also. I just wanted to thank everyone who has made valued contributions to Hacker News this year. I love to read the comments as I almost always learn something. I hope you have a fun and safe end to 2016 and a happy and healthy 2017.
- bebe3000 10y agoNo offence, but you forgot that it was an 'interesting' year for the filipinos too. edit: although highlighting every sad/meaningful event would require more than what the comment box can hold.
- icebraining 10y agoNo, satysin said it was interesting generally, and especially for Brits/Europeans and Americans. You're free to disagree, of course.
- satysin 10y agoI am sure many countries have had interesting years. However being British and doing work with America they are the two countries I know the most about personally :)
- neals 10y agoWhich makes me wonder if the year wasn't just as interesting for (example) our Chinese friends, but that we just don't focus on their news? But yeah, European me feels like we've had quite the spectacle this year. Merry christmas to all my fellow tech-enthousiasts, here's to pushing the world to an even crazier ride in 2017!

- markatkinson 10y agoAs a South African I would like to tip my hat to both America and Brit, you surprised even us this year. Welcome to the club.
- ismail 10y agoHey from a fellow saffer
- inimino 10y agoTrump was big news, and probably the biggest surprise, in China this year.
- kalleboo 10y ago> Wow 2016 has been an interesting year! Especially for us Brits/Europeans and Americans. I'm certainly looking forward to 2016 Wipe https://twitter.com/charltonbrooker/status/808604844110057472 https://twitter.com/charltonbrooker/status/80860484411005747...

- reformedjuju 10y agoHey, the word holiday still means "holy day." Always useful to bring up whenever someone is in a tiff over "Merry/Happy Christmas!" versus "Happy Holidays!".
- FreezerburnV 10y agoI never knew that, thanks for pointing that out!

- sthommes 10y agoMerry Christmas! My holiday message of hope (repost from http://www.generalstore.co/hope.html http://www.generalstore.co/hope.html). As I look around my little Bay Area town, and especially my Facebook and Instashrams, I am struck by how fortunate we all are. We do live and 'like' in our own snow globe of good tidings ~where everyone is warm, everyone is well fed, and the love of friends and family flows as easily as the wine. So today, my wish and message of hope, is for all of us to pause. ... While we celebrate, let's pause to reflect, to consider and to act. Let's all extend an extra hand this Christmas, Hanukkah and into the New Year. Whether it's a hand, a dollar, an ear or a smile, what you are truly giving is hope~ a star in the east to follow. Wishing you and yours every happiness and good fortune. Peace and peace of mind and God's blessing.. Feliz Navidad Prospero Año y Felicidad Happy Hanukkah Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays, -sthommes Founder & CEO at Rainbow "More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else...All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.” -Einstein

- unkoman 10y agoHappy Festivus (a tad late, I know).
- amelius 10y agoBest wishes for Christmas! And one question to reflect on: why can we build compilers, operating systems, and distributed databases, while we can't find the basic rules of an economy that is well-performing, yet fair to every participant, now and in the future?
- chillingeffect 10y agoBottom up deterministic media vs persuading group consensus. Difficult but noble goal.
- caseysoftware 10y agoRequirements issue: Because everyone's definition of "fair" is different. Implementation issue: Designing for wildly complex system of systems with thousands of interdependent and independent variables, with known unknowns, and unknown unknowns is effectively impossible. We can't even parse HTML with 100% accuracy. Debugging issue: When there are issues, who do you trust to have "root" to debug and fix it?
- libeclipse 10y agoMerry Christmas HN. This is my first Christmas here, and hopefully not my last. Right now I'm in London, celebrating my birthday as well as Christmas. Have a brilliant day guys.

- krapp 10y agoModern Christmas is just another attempt at cultural propaganda by the CIA and Big Toy oligarchs, meant to train the populace to welcome the presence of an all-consuming surveillance apparatus and to create a neofascist cult of personality out of the embodiment of American consumer culture. Santa's suit is dyed in the blood of countless Chinese child slaves. Happy Holidays, sheeple.
- pdevr 10y agoMerry Christmas to all of you! Have an amazing day ahead, everyone. To those not celebrating Christmas, happy holidays to you. The wish is applicable to you too :-)
