How was a comment that says “no one deserves to have a spouse die” injecting politics?

> How was a comment that says “no one deserves to have a spouse die” injecting politics? The “And yet...” after that part, which basically inverts the overall message and is suggesting Cutts comes closer than most to deserving it, is injecting a negative personal judgement; it's not overtly political, but given the nature of the negative commentary Cutts has received, when he has received negative commentary, on HN,…

After reading the very small amount of information provided about the reason for her passing, I can't help but be curious about the exact reason. Sometimes it's comforting to know that something was a freak accident, versus something preventable. Does anyone know what might have happened in this case?

Wow. Fifteen years in a single company.

Yes. Definitely. I spent 9 years at one company - 7 years longer than I should have. After a 10K raise the first year and with 3% raises after that and bonuses slowly being cut, I only made $7K more in 2008 than I did in 2002. After that, I started aggressively job hopping - 4 jobs - and learning and over the next 10 years, I made over 60K more. Now, I am looking to see what technology I should jump on and best case,…
