Aaron Swartz, Asking For Help, 119 Days Ago

I actually tried to submit it before "martinoma" but was told that I was submitting too often. It's hard to say if TC really did submit its own story - throwaway accounts are quite common nowadays.

I'm not affiliated with TC.

Admittedly, I did decide to submit quickly so that I (might) reap the upvotes--HN has been transfixed by Aaron Swartz, and reasonably so, and I thought that people might like a reminder of how the community reacted a few months ago.

I wonder if it might not be better to not award karma for submissions which are upvoted. It's possible/probable that most stories of value would get submitted anyway, and it would discourage the mad rush to submit.

Not a bad idea. Or maybe simply bifurcate the karma. One value for stories and one for comment quality.

Well, does karma have any value?

Yeah, the bookmarklet does all the work.

My timestamps show a 3 minute difference. Reading the very short article and submitting the article via bookmarklet takes only one to two minutes.
