Rmilb··on What are you working on?
Thanks, Southern California. Looking for a place to park if you know anyone ;)

In the home stretch of my Tiny House construction. https://goo.gl/photos/dPnx7jttphUvQXcj8
Rmilb··on Lisp in Your Language
It's a reference to this : Turtles all the way down

Rmilb··on Ask HN: If you had the time, what software would you build?
A reference client for the Bitcoin Protocol written in a functional language or a LISP.
Rmilb··on The Bitcoin Blocksize: A Summary
> Bitcoin's only real-world use case is illicit goods.

I think the 400 Million[1] in venture capital alone can disqualify this statement.

Rmilb··on PayPal penalised for 'deceptive' practices
The thing with Bitcoin is that within the Bitcoin protocol the seller and buyer can choose an arbiter for disputes.
Rmilb··on Decoding the Enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto and the Birth of Bitcoin

Rmilb··on Some tech firms being 'friendly to terrorists' says UK police chief
>"Snowden has created an environment where some technology companies are less comfortable working with law reinforcement..." I'm pretty sure that the governments are the parties responsible for this environment.
Rmilb··on Establishing Trust in the Bitcoin Ecosystem
I would disagree that it has no competitive advantages. For people in Venezuela and other places where the state has failed to control inflation, Bitcoin allows people to escape capital controls(Think China). Of course there are still many drawbacks, but there are competitive advantages over 'some' currencies.
Rmilb··on Ask HN: What new skills are you learning?
I'm learning a handful of construction skills while building my own tiny home on wheels. I think everyone should have the basic skills to fix things around their home and or do simple renovations. I installed the last window last week :). Also diving into Python with my girlfriend. Images of the build. https://plus.google.com/photos/117374232859136026472/albums/...
Rmilb··on Bitcoin plummets after a massive Deep Web drugs marketplace vanished overnight
Dropping 10% is hardly a "plummet" for a volatile speculative asset.
Rmilb··on Humans: The Next Platform
To limit the improvements we can make upon our selves is to almost deny the natural path of evolution. If we create regulation to further limit the rights of what a person can do to their body, it will only encourage more healthcare tourism(Genetic tourism?).

We allow individuals to change their gender with what they identify. What if a dwarf identifies with being an average size? Or I identify with being the stature of Tony Robins?
