This is cool, and it definitely raises some interesting ideas about geography and our online hacker news community.

But I do think hackernews should consider making some articles locality specific. For example, a user logged in from Berlin could be shown an article of geographical interest. You can take this a step further and hsow articles to a user based on their interests. For example, a developer might be more interested in coding articles and a product managaer or vc might be more interested in new products.

It helps when people get personalized content, because a greater diversity of articles might get read by the community, and then truly interesting ones will become front page.
