>> "What Hacker News really needs is a list of cities ranked on minimum cost of living" That is an awesome request, and I would gladly help compile some figures if someone wants to take point on such a project. Anecdotally, I lived for several years in Southeast Asia (2002-2004) and at that time Hồ Chí Minh City in Việt Nam definitely had the best "hacker price index". Cost of living was miniscule, yet internet connectivity was still decent. (Better than, for example, Bangkok or KL.)
