#82One more thing to give thanks for is people like you, Matt.
Re: Ask HN: Are you alone in San Francisco on Thanksgiving?
#83Way to go! Good turnout, too!
It makes me sad that all the HN stuff typically appears to revolve around SF and SV area, though. I feel left out. I think the problem is that PG and YC are on that side of the world, and the rest of us get screwed. I'd like to see a map of IPs geoplotted for the last hour, last day, last week, month, year, all time for those hitting HN, those commenting, those with the most karma points, etc. I'd like to feel like it isn't all west coast U.S., NYC, and India.

#84Matt is a mensch! Great to see you're continuing to fly the entrepreneurial flag.
Thanks Chris. Happy Thanksgiving to you, TK and all the little Yehs.

#86Wow how nice of you. This is why I like HN especially after being pushed around in Walmart :P I would've ping if I was around SF.

#87Matt, thanks for the invite! Although I wasn't there this is really heartwarming :)
Re: Ask HN: Are you alone in San Francisco on Thanksgiving?
#88I think it's people like you who give me hope about the future of humanity! :)
Thanks and Happy thanksgiving.
PS: I would totally drop by, if i wasn't living about 8000miles away! :D

#89Hope someday, when I visit Silicon Valley, you would host Thanksgiving too. Would love to join you then.
For Now, Happy Thanksgiving from Nepal :)

Haha, no need for fake ids in Europe :) :)
Not sure where in Europe you're located, but in England (with a drinking age of 18) the usage of fake IDs by 16 and 17 year olds is pretty frequent.
As a UK national I can corroborate this :) I was the proud owner of a fake university ID (think it was from Heiot Watt) in my mid teens. Traded it by ripping some CDs with a first gen burner (which were still quite new in 1997/8!)
