There is a single (underlined) submission not related to Aaron Swartz. Multiple news site links informing us of his death. Blog posts on the topic. Even worse, old blog posts by him.
The topic is worthy of discussion, but 29 of them? Why?
Anyway, like most things, everyone will move on. And as shit and crass as this sounds, forget. All this talk of petitions and what not, will amount to nothing, and people will drone back to normal life, condoning those who really don't have their best interests at heart. Oh look, great bloke death. Cry, cry. Then back to: where's the next dollar? Business as usual. That's for me is the worse bit. The insincerity of it all.
Pissed? Hope so.
Now, any one reading this, if you down vote me, be damned sure I am wrong. Be really sure.
Look, if every down vote, or up vote, is a person with an new or slightly more focused desire to put their country right in this guy's memory, then good. Prove this arrogant mouth wrong. Please, prove me wrong.
Just thinking about it, look at all the tributes. Even from the UK I recognise many of the names. Cant you all get together on this? Looks like a powerful or influential group to me.
He was in the first batch of Y combinator.
I'm not about to blog about it but his work and writing has been valuable to me personally and I'm thankful for it.
