Wish HN: Happy Holidays

HN is 15 years old. It isn't fragile and its position isn't precarious.

Beautiful, thanks. Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

And upvotes for all!

1: how are hosting costs paid for?

2: how many people need to get hit by a bus to bring it down?

Yes, it is fragile and precarious and transient. Why would you delude yourself? I think your emotions are clouding your logical faculties. If Dan G got hit by a bus I know for a fact there is nobody who could replace him.

To serf

That’s a very elegant observation. When I imagine hacker news shutting down I can only think of the massive implications it would have for my life and I imagine feeling scared because it’s like a part of me is gone. It would be a massive thing and I’m not sure everyone like me realizes it. I’m working on a replacement now even if that’s insane and impossible.

happy holidays... I'm not religious anymore... but a humanist... my wish and hope for the new year is to see less political divides, more coming together, and better rights for workers, less inequalities, and for us to find solutions to things like wealth inequality and housing prices, and real solutions that at least slow down global warming some...

there's so much doom and gloom, and I probably spend too much time in r/collapse and similar subs but it's nice to at least sprinkle in some hope.

I think we'll die fast if we rely on politicians to fix all our issues. the people here in HN are some of the brightest...

I'm hoping to see more stories about people in tech starting cheaper housing initiatives or starting some sort of worker co-op that is self sufficient but also helps people have better alternatives to Amazon and Walmart and current health offerings..
