IMO, it's worth breaking CA up in the survey. At a minimum, Northern and Southern. Califorina at times is like many states. Living in the Northeastern US, "California" is kind of like combining New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine into a single state.
Pasting 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)))
This 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

>> Of course, in 2008, pure investment banks largely failed. Each US state is about the size of a European country, sometimes with similar population. That's one of the things that always comes up in polls of what surprised Europeans about the US when they visited - just how big it is.
By that logic China or Russia should also be listed with each single province or state
There were similar polls in 2013. We could compare against those to measure tech dispersal over the last decade! - "Poll: Where are you currently living?" (Countries, 2013) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6582647 - "Poll: If you're in the US, What State Do You Live In?" (US states, 2013) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5222370
I'd like to see these votes divided by the total population of each place
Ah well. Neat poll, thanks.
I hope there is someone who knows how to code in this community to parse the results and do a nice visualization. I have a cousin who knows about computers, if noone knows here how to do it, I can ask him to try. He always helps me with my printer.
