I'm grateful for this community. It's good having a place where some reason prevail. I wish everyone here had a good one and has a good one. Merry 2025!

Well said. This is the only quality discussion forum I’ve ever seen on the internet; in fact given the common trend of other forums I’d given up on it being possible. Then I learned the magic formula: the hard work of smart and active and moderation with empathy. Thank you dang.

And thank you to everyone else for being generous and smart contributors.

Merry 2025! My goals for next year are to write more and try to change the world for the better. Spending the last day of the year without electricity was a huge wakeup call that big changes are needed. It has left me wondering why fusion energy has taken so long to develop, so that's a topic I'm really interested in exploring.

Many new reactor types coming online 2025. Will be an interesting year ...

Up there with Putnam and Dropbox.

Thank you for the Putnam; I did not know about it. For anyone else that did not understand this reference; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35015 . Legendary.

That's an epic thread. Thank you very much for sharing it :)

US Central Time here, so still a couple hours to go, but HAPPY NEW YEAR to y'all fellow HN-ers -- HN is probably the least guilt-ridden procrastination I do on the whole wide internet. Thank you to every one of you who has made HN among the most intellectually dense places on the web -- I wouldn't be where I'm today without reading all the insightful comments, submitted links and perspectives of all the HN-ers over t…

"Dense" is a curious choice of words, but I agree, it often applies!
