But they do mention that they "[controlled] for percent of age >50 yr." Does that imply that, per county, they excluded high-elevation suicides that wouldn't have happened at lower elevations, using known mortality rates for common causes-of-death for age > 50 individuals?
I'm sure the answer is in the paper somewhere, but I need to get back to work. :-)
General Relativity posits that gravity embodies both of those qualities you mentioned.
It is a force that bends space and dilates time.

Lots of conflicting up votes and down votes is a signal HN uses to detect disagreement.
The HN algorithm is designed to promote good discussions, explicitly at the expense of discussions where people interact poorly with each other, even if those other conversations are important. Lots of disagreement is a common precursor to bad behavior, and the algorithm automatically pushes those posts down in the ranking.
Not a conspiracy. An algorithm that intentionally and successfully encourages well behaved commenters here, at the expense of some important topics algorithmically being pushed down.
HN is an echo chamber.
