kylelibra··on California’s $327 million web site in operation
Apparently I need to find some government institutions for clients.
kylelibra··on Google Web Designer
Cue the sensational headlines heralding web developers becoming obsolete. These tools keep getting better. Instead of rendering web developers obsolete, they just force everyone to be better.
kylelibra··on Horse_ebooks Is Human After All
To be totally honest, it wasn't until I saw the pronunciation guide that I realized it might be called "horsey books" instead.
kylelibra··on The iPhone 5s Review
I was hoping they had finally bumped it up to 2gb, but I guess not. I often read this is related to battery life, can anyone corroborate?
kylelibra··on What If All 7.1 Billion People Moved To Tunisia?
Bad title, but interesting post. Better title: If everyone lived as densely as they do in Manila, the human race could fit in Tunisia
kylelibra··on Medium clone launched in China
Why does it randomly say "Writing matters" in English?
kylelibra··on 9,866,539 buildings in the Netherlands, shaded according to year of construction
I would really like to see this for a city like NYC or SF.
kylelibra··on Why I'm saying goodbye to Dropbox and hello to SpiderOak Hive
I've racked up 7.9GB on my free Dropbox account. Until there is an alternative that offers more for free, I probably wouldn't consider switching. However, I'm encouraged by the amount of cloud hosting services emphasizing privacy, maybe at some point dropbox will follow suit.
kylelibra··on Behind The Scenes At Homejoy, A Cleaning Startup That's Really A Tech Company
It seems that every new company is so reliant on technology it could be considered a tech startup. Where does one draw the line?
kylelibra··on Ask PG: Can we have collapsable comment threads?
I better visual cue would be good as well. In huge threads with hundreds or even thousands of comments, it is hard for me to tell where something ends.

I don't think adding the collapsable button takes anything away, but adds a lot of value. Even with the button you can still scroll. :)

kylelibra··on Ask PG: Can we have collapsable comment threads?
Great find! I didn't know this existed. However, I still think having this as a default feature would benefit the community and the quality of discussions.
kylelibra··on Interview with Rob Rhinehart about Soylent
It's already named Soylent, I feel like you kinda have to have a green colored version.
kylelibra··on The Bitcoin Crypto-Currency Mystery Reopened (2011)
Before you write this off as old news, it features a lengthy update from May 2013.
kylelibra··on Thoughts on Twitter's new Two-Factor Authentication
For anyone who is interested in implementing two-factor authentication, Authy (company behind blog post) is quite easy to use. I recommend it.
kylelibra··on Slashdot founder Rob Malda on why there won’t be another Hacker News
Is there some way to get this in a daily email?
kylelibra··on TechCrunch readers thrash reporter after misleading journalism on LG phone
The comments section of the TC article seems to be what the title of this thread is referring to.
kylelibra··on HN is Becoming 2005 Slashdot
FWIW, I often look for political stories here just to see this crowd's comments on the subject. It would be nice if there was some sort of filter system or a few very broad categories.
kylelibra··on The Pedal-to-the-Metal, Totally Illegal, Cross-Country Sprint for Glory (2007)
There is a documentary about this that has finally been released: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1329299/
kylelibra··on Skeuocard
This is fantastic.
kylelibra··on [dead]
Put a link to your startup in this thread.
kylelibra··on I'm learning to code by building 180 websites in 180 days. Today is day 115
I'd be interested in a breakdown of how long each page took to build.
kylelibra··on Court: Chevron can subpeona Americans' email data in Ecuador case
The reason is "Chevron alleges that it is the victim of a mass extortion conspiracy." Ok...seems a bit ridiculous to me.

I'm no lawyer, but is this significant in relation to the constitutionality of the NSA spying? "(The Judge) ruled it didn't violate the First Amendment because Americans weren't among the people targeted."

kylelibra··on Thanks, EFF, for outlawing code.
So the EFF is responsible for the NDAA legislation? Bit of a stretch.
kylelibra··on 40 Days of Dating
Good point, it needs a date published along with the day it actually happened.
kylelibra··on Alan Moore Kickstarter - His Heavy Heart
Alan Moore is the guy behind classics like Watchmen and V for Vendetta in case you didn't know.

To say he is quite the character is a bit of an understatement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore

kylelibra··on Ask HN: If you were Edward Snowden where would you have gone?
You make some really good points, but why do you say "a country with good, but not great, relationships with the US?"
kylelibra··on Ask HN: If you were Edward Snowden where would you have gone?
I agree. From what I've read about other famous fugitives, it seems you're much better off if the country wanting to find you doesn't know where you are in the first place. A country where you can remain hidden is better than one where you can't, even if the latter has no extradition treaty.
kylelibra··on French parties call for Snowden political asylum
It sounds like it is all up to Putin at this point. I wonder if there is something he would want from the US in exchange.
kylelibra··on Why The NSA's Surveillance Program Is Illegal And Unconstitutional
This might be too lengthy of an explanation, but if you're interested, this section from Wikipedia would help explain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution#Judi...
