Before this post gets flagged into oblivion, let me bring this back to a subject that may hold a little more for many of the tech types that read this site: Aaron Swartz. I'm reminded of a comment a made a couple of years ago [0] when there was a push to pass "Aaron's Law" and I argued that the change needed to be more broad-based than that. Looking at what happened to Aaron (aggressive, arguably unnecessary prosecution) and with the recent police shootings (aggressive, arguably unnecessary use of force) points to a failure of the criminal justice as a whole. The system needs to change, to protect Harvard fellows and 12-year-old black kids alike. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5138176 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5138176
