Poll: Where are you currently living?
An interesting question, that was last asked according to search, 3,4 and respectively 5 years ago. [1,2,3]
Please read through the list, to find the choice that describes you the best.
I've tried to be more precise than just continents, but still not every country, but rather regions, more or less divided by culture.
I apologize if anyone feel left out, please leave a comment then with what region/country that you feel is significant enough to warrant it's own choice.

- dutchbrit 13y agoThe Netherlands here
- talloaktrees 13y agoNot that I really care, but you have no category that fits Taiwan. It is not really China and not Southeast Asia
- PakG1 13y agoWell, the fact that you take a stance on the subject's truth indicates that you do care. :) Taiwan's place in history is about as muddled as Palestine, Tibet, Ireland, and others, sometimes less, sometimes more. Some people take one side, some people take the other side, while I've found that people who don't care don't actually take a stance.
- frankacter 13y agoWhich did you choose? All of us here in Taiwan should at least represent consistently ;-)
- yen223 13y agoI've never heard of Taiwan being part of Southeast Asia to be honest.
- a-priori 13y agoOne thing that Taiwan (i.e, the Republic of China) and China (i.e, the People's Republic of China) can agree on is that the island of Taiwan is part of China.
- einhverfr 13y agoWow, more of us here in SE Asia than in Western Europe? Interesting.
- RBerenguel 13y agoIt's still relatively early morning in Western Europe (7:26 AM in Barcelona, where I am.)
- adnam 13y agoBon dia pel matí!

- democracy 13y agoIt's 7 AM in Poland as of time you wrote it :)
- Kurtz79 13y agoThey way they have defined Western Europe it amounts basically to France/Germany/Benelux/Switzerland.
- wikiburner 13y agoOther: Antarctica? I.S.S.? Sealand? :) Edit: Uh oh, New Zealand isn't covered.
- Widdershin 13y agoI'm from New Zealand, I just picked South East Asia, because that's where our game servers are. Would've appreciated an Oceanic option, OP. Edit: Nevermind, it's Australia and New Zealand now. You can just replace that with Australasia, for the record.
- namenotrequired 13y agoI was taught the collective name of Australia and New Zealand was Oceania?
- brendonjohn 13y agoAustralasia is a region of Oceania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oceanias_Regions.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oceanias_Regions.png
- dwd 13y agoWhat is interesting is that New Zealand is a "State" according to the Australian Constitution. http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/~/link.aspx?_id=956BE242B820434A995B1C05A812D5E1&_z=z http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practic...
- zuccs 13y agoHaha. We claim anything good New Zealand ever does anyway. Pharlap, etc.
- derrida 13y agoAs an Australian, now we can call any famous NZ ex-patriots, "Aussies". Cheers :-) ps. In school we are taught either that Australia is the continent or Oceania is the continent, encompassing Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia, Polynesia (of which NZ is sometimes considered a part of) & Melanesia. It used to be this way until I suppose FIFA started considering Australia part of Asia. Now it's just confusing. If there were an Oceania option, folks in Hawaii could vote for team Oceania.
- yownie 13y agoIceland
- gcatalfamo 13y agoItaly (or southern Europe) edit: thanks for adding it to the list!
- mseepgood 13y agoI always thought that Scandinavia was part of Western Europe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe#Population_of_Western_Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe#Population_of_We...
- Systemic33 13y agoIt is, but I try to divide culturally, and Scandinavia is quite a different bunch from rest of europe. (I'm Danish myself and have lived in Sweden for six years aswell) This is also why I decided to add southern europe, since they are also quite different from say Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, etc.
- icebraining 13y agoUnfortunately, it led me to vote for both options, since I only saw the Southern option after having voted for Western (and after all, I'm in the most western European country). Well, I suppose it's not exactly a scientific study either.
- bowlofpetunias 13y agoTo divide it culturally, I would say you would have to go along the lines of Nordic (I've always been told including Finland in Scandinavia is a good way to piss Fins off), Latin, Slavic etcetera.
- rtkwe 13y agoIt might be grouped that way for geography but culturally and demographically so depending on what you want to get out of your survey the distinction could be worth while.

- grobe 13y agoMexico
- Systemic33 13y agoThat would be the option Southern north america :)
- vacri 13y agoTrans-america?
- shubhamjain 13y agoI am from Jaipur, India. Many I times I am detestful of the fact that I don't live in big cities like Mumbai or Bangalore. I don't hear of any programming meetups that happen here, neither there are any conferences, nor any startup that has bubbled up. The first thing that I want to do after my graduation is to move in to a big city because socializing with smart people is the most recurring advice I have heard for ambitious freshers.
- akbar501 13y agoMoving is a good idea. I'm from the US, but I spent a substantial amount of time in India when I started by first company. Initially, we were outside of Bangalore (not by much), but enough that the company and I were disconnected from the city. Around 2004 we moved the company to Bangalore, and I moved with the company. It was the best move ever. The cost of living is higher, it's over populated, traffic sucks, and so on in terms of problems. But it's where all of the action is and the people are. Fast forward to 2012 and I was living 50 minutes outside of San Francisco (over the 80) and Silicon Valley (down the 680). I moved to into the valley to be in the action. Again, best move ever. In general, go to where the action is. Your thinking on this is sound. There are smart people in Jaipur, but nothing like what you'll find in Mumbai or Bangalore. Best of luck to you.
- sidi 13y agoI am curious, what were the barriers (apart from financial) like when you moved to San Francisco? This is assuming you moved your startup over to SF. I ask this since I am starting up in India, and increasingly thinking to relocate to Silicon Valley.
- munimkazia 13y agoMumbai is the place to be for a lot of people, but maybe not for core tech and programmers. We don't have a very strong programming community here (though we are trying to build one). We don't have as many tech events and communities as Bangalore. Mumbai has quite a few startups, but again, there are far more in Bangalore. And the worst thing is Mumbai is quite a bit more expensive to live. The rents are very high, probably double of the Bangalore rates. And you don't really get higher salaries to balance this out. This has been my experience with Mumbai. You may be happy here, depending on what job you get here, and what circle of geeks and friends you find around here. In general, it is a much more happening place than Bangalore. Edit: Obviously, both of these options are far better than Jaipur. Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi are the places to be for working in tech. You can probably add Pune, Chennai and maybe Hyderabad to that list, but that's it.
- hiharryhere 13y agoWill be interesting to see how this progresses as diff timezones wake up. It's pretty Aus heavy at the moment as people like me procrastinate in the office.
- dead_phish 13y agoNot to be US-centric, but it would be interesting to see the breakdown between East and West Coasts of the United States.
- Systemic33 13y agoI would have to agree, I shoul've thought of that. It would have to be in another poll. You can try that some time.
- dead_phish 13y agoOne day, when I have Karma.

- izad 13y agoMalaysia boleh!
- bloometal 13y agoI hope someone is keeping track of the votes along with the time data. That might be very interesting, as well.
- speeder 13y agoNot putting Brazil there is kinda silly, specially when it is a country that spans so much of South America that I bet some brazillians will put north south america while others will put south south america... (Also important: brazil vs rest of south america is more relevant, considering brazil went with a fairly unique culture, ie: not hispaniard, also Argentina in comparison to the rest of South America has a very high amount of caucasians, making it also quite unique compared to the rest, although, ie: having a european culture mixed with spain culture, instead of the usual spain mixed with native america)
- kutakbash 13y ago>Southern North America (eg. Mexico) >Northern part of South America >Souther part of South America Looks needlessly fragmented and imprecise. What is 'Southern part of South America'? Cono Sur? Then Brazilians from Minas Gerais and Porto Alegre are in different groups? Was that the intention? Why 'Southern North America' and not Central America? Where does Caribbean belong? Middle Asia (say, Kazakhstan)? Is Spain Western Europe or Southern Europe? Is Czech Republic Eastern Europe or Western Europe (since you don't offer 'Central Europe' as an option and some Czechs may be unhappy with identifying as Eastern Europeans)? Is Estonia in Eastern Europe? It damn well is in Eastern Europe, but some Estonians identify Estonia as Scandinavian. Next time you guys should use some well established scheme such as this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme and just link to it in the post so no one is confused.
- Systemic33 13y agoI wasn't aware of that scheme, I'll remember it for another time, it would pollute the data too much to change it all now.
- kyro 13y agoI was shocked as well when I read that this survey was part of a randomized double-blind study sponsored by the NIH.
- kutakbash 13y agoHa ha good one. Being pedantic is a curse, yes.
- bloometal 13y agoCan we not just ask pg for the data?
- mfjordvald 13y agoMight not be entirely accurate, I'm currently in China but will show up as being from the UK or US because of my VPN.

- drpgq 13y agoInteresting that the ratio of Americans to Canadians is less than their respective populations.
- flexie 13y agoYes, I thought the same, especially interesting because I would assume that many Canadian techies moved to Seattle or the valley. Also interesting that there are soon as many HN members outside the US as within (if this survey reflects the truth).
- seabrookmx 13y agoI don't think as many Canadians are moving to the states as they used to. The tech sector in Canada is doing quite well, and many of the American companies that people used to move down south for have offices up here (EA Vancouver, for example). Even in Victoria, tech is the number one industry, and the talent pool is good enough to support serious players in industry, locally or foreign owned.
- scott_karana 13y ago"Brain drain", possibly? More likely selection bias though.
- InclinedPlane 13y agoIt's a self-selected survey, it's likely that people who have a higher desire to have their country of residence represented would be more likely to participate. I suspect that Canadians fall into that category.
- flexie 13y agoThen you assume that less US residents have a desire to have their country of residence represented. Why?

- buyx 13y ago"Southern Africa", by most definitions, excludes populous countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Ethiopia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Africa I think a better term would be "Sub-Saharan Africa": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-Saharan_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-Saharan_Africa Also, missing: "South Asia (excluding India)", which would cover an area with around 390 million people.
- namzo 13y agoI'm from Nigeria (West-Africa).. And while I agree that west african countries cannot be classified as southern africa, i also think "sub-saharan africa" is too broad.
- buyx 13y agoI agree that "Sub-Saharan" is very broad, but I guess OP intended "Southern Africa" to be "Sub-Saharan" Africa. Unless the equator was intended to be the dividing line- which would make the definition of "Northern Africa" somewhat unconventional as well.

- danmaz74 13y agoI'm curious, which Countries did you consider for Western Europe, and Which for Southern/Mediterranean Europe?
- sjwright 13y agoI tried to follow Wikipedia as closely as possible, but stupidly didn't keep my workings. My starting point was the full list for Europe. From there I split off UK, then split off Scandanavia, then split off Southern Europe, then worked out a plausible split for the remaining western and eastern. For example, Czech fell into my eastern pile, but could have easily gone the other way... I didn't even bother trying to bisect Africa or South America, as I couldn't find any evidence for such canonical bisections. Political geography is tedious.
- danmaz74 13y agoOk, thanks for the answer. So "Western Europe excl UK" is actually "Western Europe excl UK and Southern Europe" :)
