Will we all always remember or know about the recursive loop?

From a design perspective, the first thing that springs to mind with Universal Credit is the problem of having "all of your eggs in one basket", I would have thought that spreading the system across several very separate government departments would be better, but then again I dunno in a future where AI is everywhere, could be the single point of failure approach might actually be better - if everyone could just trust everyone and stop locking people into things then maybe we wouldn't need a stupid system that everyone hates in the first place urbandictionary.com #

Brexit - A link to a Brexit page now appears right at the very bottom right hand corner of the European Commission homepage - Has links to all the negotiation documents if you click through 3 levels deep ec.europa.eu #

Brexit - In case you are interested, the "Backstop" refers to a protocol section of the withdrawal agreement (p300-474, approx 1/3 of the entire document) that includes a series of annex sections (annexes 1-10) - these are the rules, apparently meant to be temporary, to be applied concerning NI after Brexit ec.europa.eu #

Brexit - The conclusion document has a summary (p7) of what the backstop is - It covers a lot of things, notably the "Common Travel Area" still applies, freedom of movement for EU citizens, it's not 100% clear to me that UK citizens have the same privilege ec.europa.eu #

Brexit - I am not a lawyer but this is what the proposed deal looks like to me: (1) Freedom of movement for EU citizens in the UK (2) No freedom of movement for UK citizens in the EU (3) UK is segregated into separate UK-EU customs territory (4) UK pays the EU a lot of money (5) peace in northern Ireland en.wikipedia.org #

Sometimes things fail, and it's especially terrible when your backups are corrupt too - in those situations there isn't much else you can do apart from rebuild from memory, the good news is that building something you already did usually takes much less time, but you have to do it as soon as possible while you still remember en.wikipedia.org #

Brexit - "Our UK friends need to say what they want" - List the current rule set, delete the rules you don't want (unsure - delete it), add rules you want, send to Brussels - It does not need to be complicated bbc.com #

The only major news organisation that has published the full text of the Brexit deal on their website is CNN! edition.cnn.com #

The actual Brexit document is really not published in a modern format - there should be an outline/index, and each section should be linkable via url - the w3c's HTML spec is a good example w3.org #
