Héctor García-Molina has passed away
- greenyoda 7y agoDo you have a better source? The last edit on that Wikipedia page was made by an anonymous editor and just adds "Died 2019" without any citation. As someone who used to know him many years ago, I'd rather not see him declared dead without more definitive information.
- aloukissas 7y agoSorry, I've also just learned from a Stanford CS professor friend of mine and haven't found other sources. But it's sadly true from what it looks like.
- aloukissas 7y agoA couple other DB professor friends of mine have also confirmed.
- greenyoda 7y agoThanks for the information. He was a prof of mine a long time ago, and I found him to be inspiring. I'm sorry to hear of his untimely death.
