> I am a CS person. If the article is not readily consumable for a CS person why is it on a website called "Hacker News"? Seems like a bad submission if you ask me...

Like many before you, you appear to assume Hacker equates to the C in CS.

I'm a biohacker (by training) but a computer hacker by vocation. It's clear the HN community has an abiding passion in the deep relationship between information and computation systems. I just want to make sure the less experienced readers don't immediately jump to making naive conclusions by making weak analogies between computers and biology.

Because a lot of "CS persons", those who are called hackers[1], enjoy figuring things out.

I too cannot ~"readily consume" it, but I now have a few more tabs open in my browser from which I will learn a lot.

In the Guidelines link to at the bottom of this page under 'What to Submit':

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
