I will never die.

Even if you invent some science fiction means of attaining immortality, even if the universe is not doomed as all current physics predicts, the most infinitesimal probabilities inevitably occur on an infinite timeline.

You will die someday.

I guess you missed the point.

in most societies, specially western, death is never a concern unless you are terminally ill. which is insane.

I read the comment you are replying to as a joke of the article title. As in, how can something be for "for those who will die someday" instead of "everyone" plain and simple.

I don't know what I learned from this, but it was as touching a eulogy as I would ever hope to receive.

I learned to cherish manual controls and to think about the will and documenting the basics (I'm 14 years younger than Tom West was when he died).

Sadly, 1000memories.com seems to have disappeared.

Rather shameful for a company backed by YC to not follow through with their promise. They were acquired by ancestry.com which still exists so I imagine they could have made sure that in the case of any acquisition the new owner would commit to follow through on that at least.
