Reddit Co-Founder Dies

Sad. He contributed a lot to the world and doubtless had more to give.

Damn you, depression.

RIP, Aaron Swartz.

Facing a lot of jail time can cause depression.

Stunning to think where we'd be without his efforts. 26 years old! Smart and tragic guy.

Didn't know about his earlier work with RSS and Reddit, both of which IMO pale in comparison to his later wiser-ranging work on policy initiatives like SOPA.
