Unfortunately, Sam died in January 2014, shortly after giving this talk:<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/11/us/progeria-sam-berns-dies/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/11/us/progeria-sam-berns-dies/ind...</a><p>More on progeria: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progeria" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progeria</a>
Just like many of you, I'm a big fan of TED(x) talks and this one is very special. It does get hard sometimes, and I hope this talk will help many lonely and depressed hackers and entrepreneurs out there! Sam was a great hacker, let's keep up :)<p>p.s.: perhaps many of you know Sam's story, but I believe this should be shared from time to time.
