Average location doesn’t really make sense but the typical hacker news reader probably does live in the West or Japan.

  Not entirely accurate as it counts only users with accounts that saw this post on a particular day and time and decided to participate: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30210378 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30210378 https://ae.studio/random/where-does-hacker-news-live https://ae.studio/random/where-does-hacker-news-live

  The use of average was just a joke. My point is that most people in the world live outside Japan and the West (however you want to use that term). Even if most people in hacker news belong to the West (not sure that is true) I do appreciate if the comments don’t take for granted that things are said from a western perspective.

  I think the average person lives in Almaty, Kazakhstan

  Hacker News feels very dead outside of US/EU timezones so I agree with this.
