Remember Aaron Swartz Aaron Swartz Aaron Hillel Swartz (November 8, 1986 – January 11, 2013) was an American computer programmer, entrepreneur, writer, political organizer and Internet hacktivist who was involved in the development of the web feed format RSS[3] and the Markdown publishing format,[4] the organization Creative Commons,[5] the website framework web.py[6] and the social news site, Reddit, in which he became a partner after its merger with his company, Infogami.[i] He committed suicide while under federal indictment for data-theft, a prosecution that was characterized by his family as being "the product of a criminal-justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach".[7] Swartz's work also focused on sociology, civic awareness and activism.[8][9] He helped launch the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in 2009 to learn more about effective online activism. Swartz declined a plea bargain under which he would have served six months in federal prison. Life and works[edit] W3C[edit] Markdown[edit]

MIT Moves to Intervene in Release of Aaron Swartz's Secret Service File | Threat Level Lawyers representing MIT are filing a motion to intervene in my FOIA lawsuit over thousands of pages of Secret Service documents about the late activist and coder Aaron Swartz. I am the plaintiff in this lawsuit. In February, the Secret Service denied in full my request for any files it held on Swartz, citing a FOIA exemption that covers sensitive law enforcement records that are part of an ongoing proceeding. Other requestors reported receiving the same response. When the agency ignored my administrative appeal, I enlisted David Sobel, a top DC-based FOIA litigator, and we filed suit. Two weeks ago U.S. Based upon an off-the-record conference call with the parties’ counsel and counsel for non-party Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“MIT”), the Court understands that MIT intends to file a motion to intervene later today, which will include a request for relief relating to the Government’s production of certain documents to Plaintiff. I’ll post MIT’s motion here once it’s filed.

Strongbox and Aaron Swartz Aaron Swartz was not yet a legend when, almost two years ago, I asked him to build an open-source, anonymous in-box. His achievements were real and varied, but the events that would come to define him to the public were still in his future: his federal criminal indictment; his leadership organizing against the censorious Stop Online Piracy Act; his suicide in a Brooklyn apartment. I knew him as a programmer and an activist, a member of a fairly small tribe with the skills to turn ideas into code—another word for action—and the sensibility to understand instantly what I was looking for: a slightly safer way for journalists and their anonymous sources to communicate. There’s a growing technology gap: phone records, e-mail, computer forensics, and outright hacking are valuable weapons for anyone looking to identify a journalist’s source.
The Life and Afterlife of Aaron Swartz Years before he hanged himself in his Crown Heights apartment, the hacker, writer, and activist Aaron Swartz used to debate with his then-girlfriend Quinn Norton whether the Internet would mourn him if he died. It was Swartz’s stubborn belief that no one would notice or care if he died young, as he often thought he was fated to do. Like many young men of great promise and fluctuating moods, Swartz was an unstable compound of self-effacement and self-regard—among the most empowered, well-connected young people in America, yet convinced that his very existence was a burden to others, even those who loved him. There is a category of young person able to do things like contribute to the building of the Internet in their teens, or sell their tech start-ups for millions of dollars when they are 19, or rally a million opponents to a major piece of legislation when they are in their twenties. By the time he was 17, Swartz had already secured a permanent legacy written in code.
Git The Truth about Aaron Swartz’s “Crime” « Unhandled Exception I did not know Aaron Swartz, unless you count having copies of a person’s entire digital life on your forensics server as knowing him. I did once meet his father, an intelligent and dedicated man who was clearly pouring his life into defending his son. My deepest condolences go out to him and the rest of Aaron’s family during what must be the hardest time of their lives. If the good that men do is oft interred with their bones, so be it, but in the meantime I feel a responsibility to correct some of the erroneous information being posted as comments to otherwise informative discussions at Reddit, Hacker News and Boing Boing. I was the expert witness on Aaron’s side of US vs Swartz, engaged by his attorneys last year to help prepare a defense for his April trial. Should you doubt my neutrality, let me establish my bona fides. I know a criminal hack when I see it, and Aaron’s downloading of journal articles from an unlocked closet is not an offense worth 35 years in jail. The facts:
The Boy Who Could Change the World “One of the minor puzzles of American life is what question to ask people at parties and suchly to get to know them,” a nineteen-year-old Aaron Swartz wrote in 2006. “‘How ya doin’?’ is of course mere formality, only the most troubled would answer honestly for anything but the positive. […] ‘What do you do?’ I propose instead that one ask “What have you been thinking about lately?” Like a lot of Aaron’s ideas, what makes his conversation-starter useful is that it brings out the best in others. Aaron was a programmer, activist, entrepreneur, community builder, and a dear friend of EFF. Many of Aaron’s writings have now been elegantly collected in The Boy Who Could Change the World: The Writings of Aaron Swartz. Today, on the third anniversary of his death, let’s take a moment to celebrate Aaron’s life by reflecting on a few of his words. “It’s the Outsiders Who Provide Nearly All of the Content” Those same concerns about tech designed for insiders come up elsewhere too.

o fazer Arroz, passo-a-passo Nota do editor: Aproveite para fazer o jantar completo e aprenda também a fazer feijão aqui. Agora que você já sabe fazer o molho de tomate, vamos ao básico do básico na refeição do brasileiro – vamos aprender de uma vez por todas a fazer arroz. Antes de mais nada, aquela dica básica: quando for comprar alho ou cebola (e se você ainda está na casa da mamãe, dê a ela esta dica, pois ainda que ela já saiba disso vai ficar orgulhosa de você), ele deve estar sem pretos ou amassados e com uma consistência firme. Uma curiosidade é que se você cortar transversalmente a cabeça de alho, vai ver que há um gominho no meio. Cabeças de alho, dente de alho e gominho do alho. A Receita As medidas de hoje serão simples, pra não gerar dúvidas: o copo é o clássico, de requeijão, 350ml. Os ingredientes: 1 copo de arroz1 dente de alho amassado ou [muito bem picado]²Opcional: 1/6 de uma cebola média, picada3 copos de águaSal10 ml de óleo (de novo, lembre-se: o suficiente pra melar o fundo da panela).
