I would be curious to see the split between upstate and downstate New York. They might as well be different states.
Long Island, also. Before remote work was more popular, it was very difficult to search for jobs on Long Island in the past. If you put "New York" you get NYC. If you put "50 miles" you get Connecticut.

Denver and Boulder have a good amount of tech. A bit surprised it comes out ahead of Texas though. Also the UK and Germany being about the same is interesting. Germany does have a slightly larger population, but of course the UK is natively English speaking.
Texas is without power at the moment.
Tried to access some dashboards that are supposed to show some data, but not sure if I can't access it because I'm not in the US/Texas or if it's down as well (because they don't have power?)

Says "This request was blocked by the security rules" so I'm assuming it's the former.

Also - Canada is a monolith, at least break out Quebec!
Seconded! Toronto, Waterloo, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver are all large and distinct tech hubs.

>> 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.
China and India has a bigger population, and China has a similar landmass as the US yet is just one option in this poll.
It makes sense to have finer granularity for the poll options people will actually choose.

Only two people in my network of people I know lost power in Texas, one of which was a coworker's neighbor because said coworker's tree dropped a branch on the neighbor's overhead power delivery line.

#140Not sure if this post still ranks in the morning as it's evening in the EU so probably not many people will answer, while the Americas will. I know there are a lot of people from the EU here.
