Mathematicians are immortal.
Not to sound negative but I think games are inherently mathematical. Any creativity based on rules can be abstracted into some mathematical concept.

Hubbert's Peak

"World oil production will start to fall sometime during this decade, never to rise again. In 1956, M. King Hubbert predicted that U.S. oil production would peak in the early 1970's. Although Hubbert was widely criticized by some oil experts and economists, in 1971 Hubbert's prediction came true. The 100 year period when most of the world's oil is being discovered became known as "Hubbert's Peak". The peak stands in contrast to the hundreds of millions of years the oil deposits took to form. Hubbert's methods predict a peak in world oil production less than five years away."

I've always thought about this the other way around. When I feel sick or depressed I tend to drop out of society for a bit.

Ask HN: Looking for an entry-level math job

I'm a math major and self-taught programmer. Currently having a hard time supporting myself in the Bay Area given the cost of living and need to take up a new job to do so. Any advice on what sort of positions would make sense for a young math person? I can figure out most things!

The sentiment is appreciated! It certainly has been an eye-opening experience and a rigorous exercise in empathizing with those that struggle with illness.
A good suggestion! I've tried but can't seem to find enough clients for a consistent income. Maybe I should attempt tutoring over the Internet?
