#2fyi, I posted this story a while ago on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5893505
But the link no longer worked, the website is down.
I found his obituary: https://obits.pennlive.com/us/obituaries/pennlive/name/jeffr... It looks like he made it to 47.

Who knows? the answer only serves to let you judge u/Yuioup. Maybe they know someone with ALS, maybe they are a troll looking to use sympathy points for fake Internet points (now convertible to crypto currency and real world currency!) Maybe they knew the person who died and are trying to commemorate them. Hopefully your prompt will let them answer with grace. If not, why did you ask... and so rudely, too

#7I personally like posts like this; a sobering reminder of our own mortality: memento mori. It hopefully motivates us to thrive, flourish, and cherish what really matters -- friendship, kindness, humility, love -- and to leave the world a little better than we found it. And if you're curious, the Aaaron Winborn Award is still going strong[1]!

I didn't find the question to be rude.

#9What's special about Aaron Winborn is not that he died.
We are all going to die.
Aaron Winborn lived.

Hopefully it also starts us on a path of treating death as a problem to solve, so we can die on our own terms instead of being forced to do so by a cruel reality.
