So who is visiting HN from the center of Siberia? It's funny how people from remote areas will be able to identify 'their' dot.

What a wonderful thing to make.

Thanks jmarbach!

ps: if anybody else wants to do cool visualizations like this here is a set of HN visitor ips: http://jacquesmattheij.com/hnips.txt

I was a little disappointed to see that I didn't get a dot from accessing HN from here in Juba, capital of (soon to be independent) South Sudan. I may have arrived here after all the data was collected. Still, this is a great reminder of how global the community is and proof that hacking is happening outside Silicon Valley.

Yeah, I was amused to be able to point out "my" dot, though it would have been a lot easier with state borders (or even just the Great Lakes) drawn in.

Borders would great indeed.

I opened up the Google Map to check whether the dot around Central Asia could've been "mine". Zoomed out the Caspian sea, equaled it to size in the picture, then estimated the distance towards east... :)

Curious also about the hacker on top of Uluru, kick ass.
