basicplus2on Why Hasn’t Brexit Happened?

"The final negotiated Withdrawal Agreement that May unveiled to Parliament last November caused the whole country, Brexiteers and Remainers alike, to gasp in horror. May’s team had been sent away to declare British independence and had returned with a document of surrender. The agreement not only contained (as expected) a £39 billion ($50 billion) “divorce” fee, but also left E.U. courts free to top that fee up. It locked Britain into a customs union with the E.U., with no mechanism for leaving it—ever. The E.U., and the E.U. alone, would decide when Britain had fulfilled the backstop agreement, and any move to break it unilaterally on Britain’s part would be resolved by giving the E.U. jurisdiction over Northern Ireland’s economic relations. It subjected Britain to E.U. trade sanctions more onerous than those meted out to other countries. It laid out contexts in which E.U. law would retain its supremacy over U.K. law.

The Withdrawal Agreement not only did not end Britain’s ties to the E.U. In the name of Brexit, it actually deepened and constitutionalized them."

basicplus2on USB Shield. To ground or not to ground?

ground one end to a main earth but not the other..

this prevents circulating currents and interference signals..

however with devices such as mobile phones the phone frame should be connected to the ground of the usb so it is a floating earthed frame around the phone internals but does not link itself to earth.

The real problem comes about when connecting two or more devices that have a connection to the main earth...

A detailed understanding of the circuitry and operation is need to make a decision.

basicplus2on How Bitcoin Ends

This is also about getting out of being "locked into" a larger overall economy run for the benefit of a few and creating local economies.

People with land and/or skills could create new economies by trading directly with each other with what they produce and opt out altogether..

In a way it is the final defence of a people against control and oppression or insane hyperinflation, but is more dificult to do if you are stuck in a city or additcted to modern technology.
