Next time you're thinking "I wish I was the one who had made a billion dollars with my startup idea", remember that only health and family matter, and to have fun while you're alive. RIP. Edit: some people misinterpreted my comment. I'm just one anonymous voice on the Internet, but am deeply saddened by the passing of Susan Wojcicki, who meant a lot to me as one of the many people who crossed paths with her professio…

So this comment applies to people who are at least somewhat affluent and career-ambitious. Perhaps this person does not need to be addressing everybody on the planet to be making a valid statement.

Both this and the other posts are full of rich people apologists, “remember billionaires are humans too!”.

So out of touch when billions live in poverty but imagine telling them, “remember have fun money doesn’t matter” when they can’t even have basic clean water or clothes

Her son just died of a fentanyl overdose just a few months ago too?

Not even a billion $ will protect you from America's problems with cancer and fentanyl. We need to fix this. I mean, just look at this chart:

Is it pesticides like this recent HN thread alludes to?

Idk. But the US is uniquely doing something very wrong.

I'm not a Googler, but would still ask commenters to show some respect for the person who died, and save your opinions about youtube for another day.

Maybe I am a callous person, but I have never agreed to this "don't speak ill of the dead" thing.

People live and die. It is inevitable. To the grieving family, I can understand why refraining from insulting the dearly departed is necessary. They are grieving and can be irrational. No need to make things worse for them.

But between unrelated people? Why can't I discuss the legacy of the dead? We are defined by our deeds in life. It is only natural that in death, people will talk and opine about what we have done. Nothing wrong with it.
