Ask HN: Is Hacker News targeted USA users?

Totally inaccurate biased unofficial statistics:

USA: 60%

Rest of America: 5%

Europe: 15%

Other: 20%

(That's why we get a post about the Super Bowl in the front page each year.) YYMV. Hi from Argentina!

I don't know if dang has published generalized region stats for HN. You could email the moderators to see if that is something they do / have done / would do.

My guess is that a majority are in the U.S. and some in E.U. based on posting and reply times.

I was born in Iran and live in the Netherlands.

Although I want good content, wherever the authors and their ancestors might be from, I can't help but feel a bit refreshed to see people from all over the world and all walks of life end up in the top of HN.
