告诉HN:宣布tomhow为公共版主
大家好,
汤姆·霍华德今天正式成为HN的版主。他已经在HN的管理工作中工作多年,对网站及其运作方式了如指掌,因此你们唯一会看到的新变化就是汤姆会像我一样在讨论中发表版主评论。我不会离开,所以今后你们将有我们两个版主来为你们服务 :)
我认识汤姆是因为他是我和sctb在YC W09批次的同学。你们中的许多人都知道他是热心且体贴的社区成员tomhoward([链接](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomhoward))。他依然是那样的人,但从现在开始,他将以tomhow的身份发帖([链接](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomhow)),就像我多年前经历这一转变时改为dang一样。
下面是汤姆关于他自己的介绍。请和我一起欢迎他进入这个他勇敢接受的新角色!

*YC和HN在我近二十年的生活中占据了重要位置。2005年,我的朋友(后来成为我的联合创始人)芬在Slashdot上发现了pg的文章《如何创办一家初创公司》,这篇文章让我们对如何构建产品和公司有了新的认识。我在2007年底首次注册,从那时起,HN就成了我寻找有趣新闻和讨论的地方。*
*Hacker News让我看到了一个广阔的科技和初创公司世界,而这个世界在我生活的地方(我仍然住在澳大利亚)曾经显得遥不可及且不透明。我们很幸运被接受进入YC的W09批次,从那时起,HN不仅是我们分享初创公司公告的地方,也是我分享在创业旅程及生活其他方面,特别是健康和幸福方面所经历的挑战和挣扎的地方。*
*通过这些话题的讨论,我与世界各地的人们建立了持久的友谊,并学到了许多改善我生活的深刻道理。我喜欢HN的精神——这是一个人们来满足好奇心的地方。这一直是我对HN的理解,也是我希望能为每个人带来的体验!*
*--汤姆*

Hi all,<p>Tom Howard is going public as HN moderator today. He has been doing HN moderation work for years already and knows the site and its practices inside-out, so the only new thing you'll see is mod comments from Tom showing up in the threads the way mine do. I'm not going anywhere, so you'll have two of us to put up with going forward :)<p>I've known Tom since he was sctb's and my batchmate back in YC W09. Many of you know him as the kind and thoughtful community member tomhoward (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomhoward">https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomhoward</a>). He's still kind and thoughtful, but he's going to post as tomhow from now on (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomhow">https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tomhow</a>), the same way I switched to dang when I went through this rite of passage years ago.<p>Below is a bit from Tom about himself. Please join me in welcoming him to this new status which he was crazy enough to say yes to!<p>---<p><i>YC and HN have been a huge part of my life for nearly two decades. I read pg's essay How to Start a Startup in 2005 after my friend (and later, co-founder) Fenn found it on Slashdot, and it opened our eyes as to how to go about building products and companies. I first signed up in late 2007, and since then HN has been the place I come to find interesting news and discussions.</i><p><i>Hacker News gave me a window into the big wide world of technology and startups, that had previously seemed so remote and opaque from where I lived (and still live) in Australia. We were lucky enough to be accepted into the W09 batch of YC, and since then HN has been a place where we could share announcements about the startup, but also where I could share the challenges and struggles I experienced in the startup journey and other aspects of life, particularly to do with health and wellbeing.</i><p><i>From the discussions that have happened about these topics I've ended up making enduring friendships with people all over the world, and have been able to learn many things that have improved my life in profound ways. I love HN's ethos - of being a place people come to engage their curiosity. That's what it's always been for me and what I hope I can help it to be for everyone!</i><p><i>--Tom</i>
