Ask HN: Where are you located?
13 points by bsvalley on March 8, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 67 comments
We don't have access to HN analytics, so how can we find out where most of the viewers are located? Well, how about asking - which part of the world are you reading this from?



My file manager [1] was on the front page last week. 20,000 sessions:

42% Europe

41% Americas (32% US)

12% Asia

3% Oceania

1% Africa

32% US

7% UK

7% Germany

4% Canada

3% Spain

3% India

3% France

3% Australia

2% Russia

2% Netherlands


something is missing, this isn't close to 100%


2% Poland

2% Sweden

2% Italy

2% Japan

1% Brazil

1% Austria

1% Switzerland

1% Romania

1% China (!)

1% Ukraine

Obviously, percentages are rounded.

121 countries had less % than Ukraine (which had 0.85%).


That's a bit pointless in this form, you should make a poll of sorts. You don't have enough karma to make an actual HN poll (is that even still a thing? I haven't seen one in a while) but you could use an external tool for that.


Earth, United Federation of Planets.

Or the days I remember that we're not there yet, I'm in Kraków, Poland.


Are you trying to tell me we're not ALL from Silicon Valley?!


Cold and rainy Germany


Gävle, Sweden.

But please, shouldn't there be some sort of graphical geographical poll thingy, where respondents just put their needle whenever they feel like. Such as where they're at. Yeah.


My parents DNA test came back, turns out I am 43% scandinavian - hehe. Anyway: I am from the Netherlands, live near Amsterdam. "groetjes"


Buenos Aires, Argentina.


Unfortunately the UK but im doing my best to change that


Wilmington, Delaware, United States of America

Postal code 19801-1151


Maybe you don't care, but just be aware that zip+4 postal code resolves to your exact building address.


Yep, that's intentional. I pointed it at my office building which, with a moderate amount of searching, would be easy for anybody to find when looking me up by username.
