Tbh, I'm not so sure about the accuracy of this study (and of 'experimental' social psychology in general - though that's another issue altogether)...but I guess I always new those tidy, short-haired bastards were uptight.

Other than a short sentence on the homepage, there's no information about the site that you can access before signing up. The fact that you have to register before knowing anything will, I imagine, put off many potential users. They (and I) wanna know what they're agreeing to!
Edit: I think you should add some more info (maybe some screenshots, a lengthier description and some privacy stuff?), basically!

That's a problem with posting on HN in general - I often find (admittedly IMHO) interesting links and post them in the morning, european time, but because most of HN's readers are from north america they often get largely ignored - and thus have slipped down into oblivion by the time the americans log in. Or maybe I just post crap links...

There are countries all over the world populated by great hackers - may I refer you to an earlier reply (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1640665) to explain my (admittedly hasty) reasoning for choosing these in particular. So far though, the US is definitely dominating the list...but that might be because most Europeans (myself included) should probably be tucked up in bed around now.

I just creamed off the top five countries from my google analytics data. Completely arbitrary - but I thought not completely irrelevant, as only people interested in programming would be likely to visit my site. Maybe I should have thought a bit harder...?

I think I meant where you are at the moment, as I get the impression that hackers often move to where the work is. But good point - I should have been clearer. :-)
Poll: Where abouts are you hackers from?
I'm curious about where HN readers hail from. I get the feeling that most of you guys and gals are from the US. But I might be wrong. Apologies if this has come up before - that must have been before my time. :-) Country choices are based on google analytics data from my ruby newbie blog.
