Death
-
So the crude death rate globally is ~8.23 per 1000 per year[^]. We have 6,482,858 members on CP. Which gives us a total of 53354 deaths of CP members per year. That's ~6 deaths per hour, or 1 every 10 minutes. Do you ever wonder if anyone on CP will actually notice if you die. I'm pretty sure no one I know would think to tell anyone here.

I have a service on my development machine that pings my brain once a minute. If five minutes goes by without a response, it e-mails the cafeteria with a coffee order. If my brain fails to reply within an hour, I'm automatically declared dead and the GC thread runs.

Egad, 91% death rate?! It's not safe to be here!

That assumes that programmers have the same death rate as the entire population which has to be wrong for many reasons.

You cannot break statistics down like that. I, for example, have a 99% chance of NOT making 40. And, to make things worse, I have less than 50% chance of making it another year, thanks to the big C. I am already cheating the big fellow with the scythe. Think about it: for males, from (for example) 16 to 25, it probably is more like ~15 / 1000. The same is true as we get older. So, most people here are in the prime of their life. I'd say: more like 5 / 1000 here. Or even less. However, if I don't show up for a few months, you're invited to ask for my current state.

My lawyer, a barrister actually, will send an email to everyone on CP offering a portion of my estate. The only requirement being a small processing fee of $500.
