There was some analysis of celebrity deaths in 2016 that was interesting [0][1]. Analyses disagree on whether 2016 was particularly deadly for celebrities, but they generally agree that there are more people we consider celebrities dying each year.
I worked on the crypto team at Microsoft, which Peter Montgomery worked with to integrate various algorithms. He was quite nice and also quite unforgettable. RIP
It seems so tragic to me that there are so many people that bust their ass their whole life to save up for retirement at 65, only to die 5 years later.
It makes me almost not even want to bother saving up for retirement...
