Unfortunately, until we figure out an easy way to convert between unit systems, our only recourse is to complain on hacker news.

- gambiting 12y agoYeah you can convert between units. But as soon as I saw imperial units I just closed the site. If you want to publish something on the Internet you have to take into account that users will be way too lazy to convert. And I don't want to support imperial measurements in any way or form so I would rather not use a site or a service that uses them.

- Someone 12y agoThat table is for glucose only. It would be the same for cholesterol if and only if a glucose molecule weighs the same as a cholesterol molecule (is it even possible to do that conversion, given that there are at least two different kinds of cholesterol, with different atomic masses?)
