But that was a different time, you can't compare India and US, Problems were different back then (mostly technical), and would it be even feasible to wait for becoming reach and developed before developing tech today?
Actually spending to be a front runner in tech like this is not an expenditure, It's a well thought investment. Which i am sure will prove to be a good one, with long term returns.
Hammm if everyone is afraid to leave a comment because they can be banned , then something is wrong here. (although i am not sure what this topic is all about and who is edw519)
He made some insensitive comments about/to Aaron Swartz before Swartz committed suicide, and some sympathetic (and not representative of his comments prior to the suicide) comments afterward. Those comments probably had little to do with Swartz' death and changing one's mind about something probably shouldn't be a crime, but the Internet is reactionary, and pitch forks were brandished.
He may also simply be on vacation from HN. I sometimes go a month or two between posting. But, then, I've never been as active here as Ed.
