For me, HN gives a sort of window into the American SF techno views and mindset about the world. It's quite interesting to read their ideas and opinions. It's a bubble like other places but it doesn't mean you won't learn something.
- dang 6y agoLast I ran the numbers (which was a couple years ago) the HN community was at least 50% outside the US.

- dang 6y agoYou're right that it's a common assumption! But that same analysis showed that only about 10% of HN users are physically near the Bay Area.
- reducesuffering 6y agoIs there a recent publish of that user base analysis for the public?
- cblconfederate 6y agohow many of them are posting and who gets the upvotes?
