Ask HN: What shall humanity do if less people die this year?
It's a hypothetical question, but it's widely reported that air pollution (which is a major cause of death) decreased a lot in affected areas. Somewhat related to the Trolley Problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

some additional data age distribution (pew research 2015)
"Although playing video games is especially popular among young adults, a substantial number of older adults play video games as well. More than half (58%) of those ages 30 to 49 play video games, along with 40% of those ages 50 to 64 and 25% of those 65 or older."
I'm pretty sure this was different in the 80s.

It is depressing how many good thesis topics not getting accepted because of some kind of personal preference/agenda of the advisors. Similar story happened to me.

Re:Blueprint – A React UI toolkit for the web

hi,
I really like blueprint! Although I think it's a bit ambiguous in the documentation that there are some elements under 'components' which are not react componentsp per se. You are referring to this as they have a 'CSS API' (like navbar). It' not a big deal but if you are doing a react app it's good to have an overview of the actual building blocks. Maybe they should be under another section?

one possible explanation is that it was just a communication trick, to make people talk about this instead of the corruption scandal which resulted in government officials being banned from entering the US.
