Paul Allen dead age 65
 
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/tech/...ead/index.html

Quote:

Paul Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, died Monday. He was an investor, entrepreneur and philanthropist who influenced many aspects of modern life — from technology and science to sports and music.
Allen was 65, his investment firm Vulcan said in a statement announcing his death. He died in Seattle from complications related to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma two weeks after Allen said he was being treated for the disease.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, like the less-common Hodgkin's disease, is a cancer of the lymphatic system.
"My brother was a remarkable individual on every level," Allen's sister, Jody Allen, said in a statement on behalf of his family. "He was a much loved brother and uncle, and an exceptional friend."

Allen founded Microsoft (MSFT) with Bill Gates in 1975, several years after the two met as fellow students at a private school in Seattle. Allen left the company in 1982 after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease.
"I am heartbroken by the passing of one of my oldest and dearest friends, Paul Allen," Microsoft founder Bill Gates said in a statement Monday. "Paul was a true partner and dear friend. Personal computing would not have existed without him."

RIP Mr. Allen. Without you I wouldn't have a career fixing all of your software.

Worth 20 billion dollars and still couldn't beat cancer... What chance do we normal people have. I swear to god it's the damn food we eat. Cancer wasnt as big of the deal back in the early 20th century and now it's an epidemic

I think it's more just the fact that people are living much longer now.
In 1900 US, the average life expectancy of a white male was 47.
Only 12% would make it to 65
89% of cancers diagnosed are patients 50+

RIP.

Allen always looked kinda ill, for a guy worth 20 bill his teeth looked like a $10 crackhead.

Re-occurring cancer is pretty tough to beat but you don’t really see Bill gates dieing of anything but old age. Wonder what his routine/lifestyle was like. Maybe he was a wack job like jobs behind the scene and wasn’t closely monitoring his health as a billionaire has the ability to

DragonChi 10-15-2018 08:04 PM

Not everyone can win the genetic lottery. I don't know about Paul Allen's family, but Bill Gate's parents look pretty healthy for their age.

Life expectancy figures are often misleading because of a large amount of infant mortality.

We now live longer than we did before, and we're far better at diagnosing illnesses than ever before. Just because people didn't know they had cancer doesn't mean it wasn't what was killing them.

Even if you ignore that, I'd think all the second hand smoke from people smoking absolutely everywhere until the early 2000's would be a much more likely candidate for current cancer rates in anyone over 15ish.

DOS was not stolen. The guy gave a ton to charity and make so computer enthusiasts like me could build our own computers.

when people find out they have cancer of the lymphatic system, usually it's at the later stage already.

Do you even know how DOS was written?
And you say he gave a lot to charity... western charities are a scam. Gates own father was part of the ZioAmerican eugenics and sterilization program called 'Planned Parenthood'. https://i.imgur.com/7BUima7.jpg

Good try buddy, not true.

CharlesInCharge 10-15-2018 11:11 PM

It doesnt matter if he meant less child mortality will equals less population or not... the people he serves have been and still are inflating or deflation populations as they please.
During WWI Iran had a population of 20 million, then the Anglo Zionist starved half of the county to death... thats 10 million people. China lost something like 60 because of them. Ukraine and Russia also had significant numbers. Prior to the world wars Africa and the Native Americans were slaughtered in large numbers.
Each year millions of people in the America's today are engineered to an early death.

it can relapses in another part of the body, it's pretty much like a time bomb

Hondaracer 10-16-2018 05:24 AM

Yes, I understand that. My point was that he already had this exact form of cancer before. It wasn’t a surprise as lymphoma is for most people so it’s surprising he wasn’t more on top of it.

SkinnyPupp 10-16-2018 06:49 AM

Blaming a guy who just died of cancer for "not being on top of it" is not something I would want to do personally. Not knowing ANYTHING about the guy, other than how much money he has.

I'm sure he did whatever he could within his means. Sometimes you can't beat cancer, especially when you get it twice.

Come on...

RIP

yray 10-16-2018 06:52 AM

Dude bought 30 years, lived life better than most of us during that time.

Just bad genes, thats predetermined.

Yea I should really be pretending I care..

I’m just curious. It’s pretty much unanimously thought that Jobs could have survived his cancer if he didn’t have wacked out thoughts on treatments

How can you apply what Steve Jobs did (or didn't do) to Paul Allen?
