Hungary is missing from the list :)

#172Not 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.
Also, it's friday evening now in Europe. I usually don't read HN in the weekends, only during defocus time at work.

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?
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.
All the relevant people in Germany as well the rest of the continent speak English pretty well.

#174Looking forward to a visualization that ranks each reply by capita too. Should separate the tech hubs from the large populous regions.

Seconded! Toronto, Waterloo, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver are all large and distinct tech hubs.
I like that list except Waterloo - I think if you're going to make a serious argument about Waterloo than Berkeley/Oakland would be a separate hub from Silicon Valley - and ditto for Worchester, Boston and Cambridge MA. Waterloo definitely has its own thing going on but it's pretty darn close to being an offshoot of Toronto at this point.
Well I don't personally have a horse in that race. I'd definitely be interested in seeing the results for a regional Canadian poll though.

#176This would be really nice as a map view. HN polls are useful, but for this many entries is a mess. Plus, the visualization alone would be fun to see.

By that logic China or Russia should also be listed with each single province or state
... especially India
Both Russia and India are federal countries, just like USA, so might be a good idea.
But where to draw the line? Switzerland is also federation...

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…
ERCOT doesn't do power delivery, you wouldn't see how many people are without power by checking out ERCOT. You would want to look at one of the several power delivery companies, such as Oncor.
https://stormcenter.oncor.com/
They show 7,073 customers affected by outages out of 3,835,901 customers served. That's 0.18% of customers affected.
Texas-New Mexico Power is another power delivery company in Texas.
https://www.tnmp.com/power-outage-map
They are showing 1,195 customers affected. They serve ~400k customers. So ~0.3% of customers are without power for that company.
Austin Energy is another power company in Texas, they serve pretty much the entire city of Austin so ~1M customers. They are reporting 24 affected customers. So 0.0024% of customers affected.

The above poster is not right, and neither are you for suggesting some massive amount of the state is without power.

#180Why does America get states and UK doesn't get England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
I’m sure Boris promised this in the Brexit Manifesto along with Blue Passports…
Someone get him on the phone, oh wait, it’s past 5pm on a Friday evening, he is probably at a “work event”.
