I voted Africa, being from South Africa. When I clicked on the up-arrow, the number of points did not increment immediately. I had to refresh the page to see the new number of points. Poor user experience.

Sup buddy? Lagos Nigeria here. Are you in Capetown? I heard that is the SF of these parts.

I am in Pretoria.

Interesting to notice that the poll will reach only people that:

* read the post

* want to disclose

* know how to vote :-)

It would be nice if HN exposed some stats like this, if you use GA I suppose it is quite easy.

What about a stats section with some general stats available to the public ?

I am in China. Most web pages outside of the country are blocked or monitored...

In Singapore, though I'm from the U.S. :)

So it sounds like we have enough people to do a HN meetup @ SG? :)

I'd be up for that too!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Conversely, not being based in the US comes with lots of disadvantages, such as terrible payment gateways, unfriendly tax and small business legislation, and smaller networks of entrepreneurs. Here in Ede, the Netherlands, I feel pretty isolated, and I imagine a lot of people in Europe also do unless they live somewhere like London or Amsterdam.

I really think that we in the EU should start lobbying the EU Parliament and Commission to get a better environment for (especially web) startups. It will take time, but if we don't start doing that, it will take even longer...
