Not 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.
Im off to a party, see you later HN

China and India has a bigger population, and China has a similar landmass as the US yet is just one option in this poll.
On the other hand, as of right now, China has 1 point and India 9. That combined is less than Poland, which has 15. It makes sense to have finer granularity for the poll options people will actually choose.

>> 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.

Why does America get states and UK doesn't get England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

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.

Also - Canada is a monolith, at least break out Quebec!
Canada must be separated into 100 different pointless micro services each with a different docker configuration created by the summer C.S. intern.

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)))
Current top 10: 'US: California' '79 points' 'Canada' '48 points' 'US: Washington' '39 points' 'US: New York' '36 points' 'Germany' '35 points' 'United Kingdom' '34 points' 'US: Massachusetts' '19 points' 'Netherlands' '18 points' 'US: Colorado' '17 points' 'Sweden' '16 points' Colorado #9? Really?

Texas is without power at the moment.
Thought you were joking at first, how can an entire state be without power? But seems you're right, how the hell does that happen in a first-world country? 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?) - https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards - https://www.ercot.com/g…

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
Nope, the US should be a single option. Just poll for countries.
9 people isn’t bad for a small island.
