Can you share the percentage of traffic to HN by country?
Curious to know if that percentage is semi-accurate to the real % _of_hackers/country. Anyone have a study/stats? Please share.

#4I have no idea, unfortunately. We've never tried to analyze anything about the traffic except the number of unique visitors and page views per day.
CO2stats would know though, since they keep track of where people are to analyze their power sources. I'll ask them.

#6What kind of joker correlates the % of people visiting hacker news to the hackers. You are retarded - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Its like saying - lets see how many people visit a second grade news site which has a finance section, and that would indicate the geographical distribution of people interested in Finance.

A good feature for HN would be if someone adds a new account (one minute ago when I checked this one), submits some sort of trolling or moronic comment that gets down-voted a few times (which hopefully this one will), it should be flagged, looked at by an admin, then just purged. Obviously no good intentions with the creation of the account or the comment.
