And 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.

No 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.

I 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 :)

No, _l4jh said it was interesting generally, and especially for Brits/Europeans and Americans. You're free to disagree, of course.

Which 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!

As 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.

Trump was big news, and probably the biggest surprise, in China this year.
