Many people are not aware of the huge range of health issues that alcohol is associated with. It goes way beyond just cancer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_health#/media/File...

I hope this is appropriate. Heritability has come up a few times on HN, and there was usually a fair amount of discussion about what the numbers really mean. See for example: * "Heredity beyond the gene" https://news.yc

It’s perfectly valid for a trait to be more than 100% heritable(dynomight.net)

These mutations do have a lot of spread outside of China. For example Fig. 1 of this paper ( http://www.medgenetics.ru/UserFile/File/Borinskaya%202009%20... ) shows a high incidence of ADH1B in the Middle East. Is i

(author here) I did not know that, and I'm not sure how it fits in! All else being equal, more ADH would imply faster acetaldehyde buildup, meaning men would have more of a "flush" than women. I don't know if all else i

Nevermind, I get it, you just change the rendering method. Very cool, I love that you can change the visualization method without changing the data structure!

This is probably a stupid question, but how do you create the "trees" like you see in the screenshots? I can easily create hierarchical grids, which is great, but I can't figure out how to make a mind-map type graph.

This project deserves huge credit for the excellent tutorial that it opens up to on first launch. It basically opens to an example sheet that you can read and then try out all the basic functionality in place. It's fun, and quickly sho

This is fantastic. I’ve tried several times to understand this idea over the years, with no success. This clearly expressed the idea in only a few minutes. One question: It mentions that Wolfram alpha will fail on integrals that this trick

Thanks! Do you think this might increase the odds of the email going to spam? (This might be why you mentioned not having too many images.)

This indeed prevents me from tracking. I should have been more clear that my "real" goal is that privacy-sensitive readers will be able to see images. I think these people won't know that the image isn't unique, and so w

Here's an question... Suppose I'd like to send emails that include images. The images are content, I don't care about tracking. Is there any way to do that in a way that's privacy friendly? The natural way of doing this

I'm interested in the minimal "Globish" subset of English this article mentions. It would be an interesting idea to have a variant of hemmingwayapp or grammarly that tries to automatically test if a bit of text conforms to it

It's not clear to me how "home prices" are defined here. If it's a mean, then these numbers would be a comparison of means to medians, which could be misleading. in that it would be skewed by heavy tails in homes but not

I've always wondered why Amazon didn't take a "collaborative filtering" approach to reviews -- basically take your ratings and then give you recommendations based on others who tend to give similar ratings. It seems like

I believe that with current browsers the layout will change unless the width/height are specified in HTML. That being said, lazy loading does at least some of the time work "invisibly" with images getting loaded before they w

Do we have any real trials coming? It would be great to know if this was a safe strategy in general so that we can quickly spin up low-risk "stopgap" vaccines in the future.

I like this! I had trouble figuring out how to actually share the workspace with another person. The actual solution (share the #jhfdjhd stuff) is very elegant. It would be good to make that more clear.

I'd suggest moving a lot (maybe all!) of the content from the "See what Chaos can do" page to the front page. It's hard to see why anyone would sign up for the waitlist before seeing that.
