Happy New Year HN
519 by thunderbong | 147 comments on Hacker News.
Thanks to the mods and to all the members of HN for one of the bright spots of 2020. So many submissions, so many comments. Most of all, so many intelligent discussions. Also, so much guidance in how to live life - with curiosity, empathy and optimism. Times, both bad and good, will come and go. Lives will be lived and time will move on. But seeing the humanism of people, in my humble opinion, is reason for hope for a better future. Have a wonderful new year everyone!
