I'm happy to lose karma fighting this fight. It's something that appears lost on the internet, and especially amongst hackers. This is, in effect, standing over his body pondering whether bullet proof glass would have helped. Does it matter? Where is your empathy? Where's your perspective? I don't demand you feel any way, but I will always demand respect for other people, and this entire discussion is distasteful and disrespectful to those suffering loss.
It's fine to wonder about your own security, but have some sense of context. Go do some research and find out what the real best way to protect yourself from events like this is. Go write an article about it and post it to HN. Those are all constructive things to do, but have some respect for the loss here and compartmentalize the discussion a bit.

I don't feel any immediacy to this event or these people. compartmentalize the discussion a bit. I definitely agree. Tycho started another thread of conversation instead of responding to anyone here who knew Justin Ferrari. That's about as compartmentalized as we can get on this site.
