#33Good chunks of Scandinavia would consider themselves solidly part of 'Western Europe' and with 'Mid-Atlantic US' qualifying for a category it's surprising that the United Kingdom wouldn't rate a mention, I'd wager there are far more people from there active on HN than you might suspect.

It refers to the Atlantic Seaboard, so it's not "Mid(dle of the) Atlantic (Ocean)," it's "Mid(dle of the) Atlantic Seaboard."

#40I'll be interested to see how many people work within 100 metres of San Francisco.
I thought it meant 100 miles. 100 meters is about the length of a football field.
