Now now... You'd just be pandering to the separatists.

No kidding, why is that guy trying to split Quebec from Canada? :(

Isn’t it… already the case? Culturally speaking, it looks and feel like a separate state. At least that’s the impression I got.

>> 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.

It's... still one country, though. And while I understand that Americans are very preoccupied with the difference between California and New Jersey, please understand that it's not that important (or obvious) to the rest of us.

Then make your own poll that is split up how you like it. I see no problem splitting up large countries in polls like this. If only this poll did more of it. I'm not sure you have the knowledge to speak for "the rest of us" about how polls should be split up.

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)))

If you're on a mobile browser, paste this into the address bar: javascript:document.write(' ' + [...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => ({place: el.textContent.trim(), score: parseInt(el.nextSibling.textContent)})).sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score || a.place.localeCompare(b.place)).map(e => ` ${e.place} ${e.score}`).join('') + ' ')

That doesn't seem to work on Firefox for Android, sadly

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.

There are definitely people who commute all over the GTA, but I still feel like Waterloo Region is culturally distinct from Toronto proper— Google and Facebook are in Waterloo; there's the devices heritage from Blackberry and then later companies like Thalmic and Pebble; there's the robotics presence in Waterloo with Clearpath, Voyis, Avidbots, and Aeryon/FLIR; and finally there's networking companies like Blue Coat,…

Wouldn't brag about these to be honnest.

I'm going to keep it real, it's hard to believe people are from Micronesia, even if it's 1 or 2 per island given you only have 18 people from Ohio. Come to think of it, none of the options are less than 1 point...

Each option starts with 1 point like a new submission.

There appear to be entries for both.

Ah thanks, I was looking up DC - did not think to do "District of Columbia"

Me too. Don't you love it when you come to a dropdown form and they simply forget DC altogether? That's my fav.

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.

Good idea! I created this page that shows a table with the current results:

I'm currently working on a vue + vuex server side rendered PWA with client side hydration.i found the perfect UI component library which only adds ~3mb of overhead,which went paired with Chart.js and of course wrapped with VueCharts.js should be able to query a graphql endpoint to process the results and display in the browser. What do you all think of kubernetes, overkill?

I prefer the printed version from parent poster, thanks
