This thread would be way more useful if one of the HN mods were willing to share (a maybe obfuscated) traffic snapshot of the site.
As it stands we're gonna get: who on HN bothers to comment on a poll. :)

#62Why does America get states and UK doesn't get England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
If the US as a whole was a single option, we would not be able to tell whether the people who vote for it are in Silicon Valley or not.

#64This makes me want to create a house-swap service for HN users. Take a two week vacation in someones home (and them in yours) with the social contract established by your HN profiles

#66Pasting this in dev console will give you a quick and dirty rundown. It sorts locations by points. [...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => [el.textContent.trim(), el.nextSibling.textContent.trim()]).sort(([,a], [,b]) => parseInt(b) - parseInt(a)).map(a => a.join(' - ')) As of this post, California is leading, followed by other places w/ large tech hubs (Germany, UK, Canada, NY, Washington)
This is begging for a console.table console.table([...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => [el.textContent.trim(), el.nextSibling.textContent.trim()]).sort(([,a], [,b]) => parseInt(b) - parseInt(a)))

#67I would be curious to see the split between upstate and downstate New York. They might as well be different states.

It's like on the reddit wars:
- Americans = stupid, can't tell where Lithuania is
- Americans respond: name all states!
- Europeans respond: name all regions of all European countries
You're right, regions like London, Bristol, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Bracelona, Frankfurt, Munich, Warsaw, Cracov, Wroclaw should have separate options
