Just a note: There is an obvious, non-technological bias in this thread at the moment of posting. The top-voted commented is objectively proven to be incorrect and dissenting opinions are being downvoted.<p>I would like to call on the HN users to think and vote on this on a technological, rather than a selfish nationalistic perspective.<p>The alternative discussion to be had is: Is Hacker News thought to be a global site or a US site with foreign guests? What would the consequences be if the conclusion was that it is the latter?
