What's wrong with 2013?
Without death, would we be as motivated to live life?

#22Stomach cancer, unexpected exacerbation. Fuck cancer.
Stomach cancer is extremely deadly. That's one of the worst ones to get... It's quite rare to get it very young, though.
While i don't know about this guy specifically, Russia has high rate of smoking. Coincidentally, several prominent Russian people i've checked out about recently happened to had died from stomach cancer relatively young.

#25RIP to a young and brilliant man.
Go out there and live the day, hug your loved ones, enjoy the sun, work hard, don't think about taking over the world and being the next Steve Jobs, stay humble, you're given one life - go out there and make life proud that you are a part of it.
Memento mori

The absurd amount of alcoholic beverages also help
I'm not in any way against the moderate consumption of alcohol but the russians are in another level, really
Just to be clear: I'm not implying this is the case

And Russians also eat a lot of salty food.
Just to be clear: I'm not implying that smoking, drinking, or eating salty food was the cause of his stomach cancer, I'm just generalizing based on stereotypes that I know.

While platitudes generally go over well on hacker news, I'm curious how one can "make life proud that you are a part of it." Should one also try to "make time notice that you exist" or "make gravity work for it?"

#29Very sad if someone passes at such a (relativly) young age. Even more so when he made the world a better place for so many people.
