A college friend of mine considered himself a loser after messing up on the job. He went home and killed himself. Suicide is also taking the lives of more and more veterans daily.
Today, reports are on twitter that Aaron Swartz took his own life.
Swartz co-authored the now widely-used RSS 1.0 specification at age 14, was one of the three co-owners of the popular social news site Reddit, and completed a fellowship at Harvard’s Ethics Center Lab on Institutional Corruption. In 2010, he founded DemandProgress.org, a “campaign against the Internet censorship bills SOPA/PIPA.”
