>A plurality of visitors to HN are from the US

Any source for that claim?

>This post is during peak US hours

And the post will remain in other regions peak hour when they visit it, not to mention it still peak hour for Canada, S.America and even parts of Europe too.

>This website is owned and operated by a US based company.

If you mean the job site, then it should be specified in the title, if you mean HN, then that’s irrelevant.

Appreciate the response, the world and tech are much bigger than the US to assume that, and definitely it isn’t silly to question that narrow mindset.

It's not a particularly popular post and probably fell of the front page after a few hours.

Of course it's relevant. You haven't really made any arguments. The fact is that a post made in the US' morning, on a US website primarily frequented by US techies is not required to cater to random engineers viewing the page at odd hours of the night across the world. Are you also upset that it's not translated into Bantu? God forbid we exclude Tanzanian developers.
