HN remains very US-centric to me, and especially centric to the mindshare of the Bay Area's IRL conversations, and apart from some takes on tech rights, does not really remind me of my experience in DACH.

The majority of HN's usership, posting, and comment activity occurs during peak EU work hours (3am-9am), stylistic patterns that are common for German-, French, and Polish-native speakers are increasingly prominent (eg. periods and spaces instead of comma…

While I appreciated your source 1.) I doubt 99% of Europeans work during 3am - 9am 2.) At least there can be other reasons: 2a.) EU times and African times are basically the same and Africa has a huge population. 2b.) India is closer timewise to EU/African time zones 2c.) What are about posts afterworks?

" RL conversation topics in the Bay Area tech scene are entirely different from those on HN shows a massive divergence in userbase. " Any proof?

In my experience, people in the United States often (incorrectly) short hand East Asia as Asia just like the people in the city of New York will often (correctly) short hand New York City as New York.

In my experience, the only demographic who complains about “Asia = east Asia” are people from South Asia, aka Indians/desis

> Request Limit: 500 per minute

I mean that is not even 10 page view per second. We are not living in 2006. Actually even in 2006 Apache with static page would have been able to handle that on a small VPS. And that is excluding CDN.

How is it not tech bro centric when every third thread is about some new feature of a random Anthropic product?

I like to encounter discussions about German digital health system or the German start up system or neo2. I've never seen them so I doubt it.

Also almost no debates about Polish stuff (Hello neigbours!)

Slight correction, people in NY refer to it as “The City” and people in NYC say the same, but specifically mean Manhattan.

I don't think they are necessarily asserting otherwise

So what does it mean to ship from Asia to Bangladesh? Do you ship from India, Iran or Indonesia? Or just within Bangladesh? :)
