HN comment sentiment analysis across 24h?

[smallnix]

I wonder if there is a measurable change in sentiment expressed in HN comments across the day cycles due to difference in audience.

Since HN articles fluctuate quickly, Americans might experience a different HN than Europeans.

I wonder if anyone can run or already ran an analysis on this.

I'd say go for it - There is an API link at the bottom of the page.
