Confirms my suspicion that the most active HN users are in Canada/East Coast/Europe.

When I first discovered HN I thought it was a small Stanford thing, but over time realized it's mostly a Canada/Europe crowd (even most of the YC founders that come to San Francisco for their startup are from those places).

View on HN

I suspect the current situation is mostly due to timezones and as the west coast wakes up we‘ll see more cities appear there. It’ll probably take a few days until you can deduce anything about hn-users in general from that map.

And thanks for the comment - made me look outside my immediate surroundings on the map!

If you're living in SF area, you have an IRL social aggregator. We in WE appreciate HN more with its warts and all.

"IRL social" in SF hahah

Point taken :)
