Poll: HN readers, where's your residence?
Being from the (rest of the) US, what disturbs me about this poll is how much entrepreneurial talent we might be missing out on.At current count, ~2/3 of readers are from outside the US. These results seem to be backed up by pitdesi's post.Since HN is so centered on startups, that's quite a few founders and potential entrepreneurs who could be working on the next Google. And all things being equal, there is a 2/3 chance that that next Google won't be happening in the US.The Valley is amazing, but it's nothing without talent. Making our immigration law more amenable to founders obviously won't cause a mass migration of founders here, but surely some will be attracted to our awesome startup hubs. And we need every edge we can get.We really need a startup visa.---Edit: A couple of the responses have misinterpreted what I was hoping to convey. Of course I don't think everyone is dying to come to the US. What I am simply arguing is that 1) HN is a decent proxy of the startup community, 2) much of that community is outside of the US, 3) is there anything the US can do to attract some of that talent?This is a question every country should be asking themselves, because startups are engines of prosperity. 
For the US, I think the startup visa is a good solution.
