Anne Sacoolas made a mistake. Sending her to prison:
- Is not going to teach her to stop making mistakes
- Is not going to work as a deterrent, other people are going to keep making mistakes
Why would we send her to prison?
Elizabeth Holmes: 135 months
Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani: 155 months
She got a 12.9% less.
He has got a 14.81% more.
I have no idea of the details. But it's not "like half".
This may be relevant, not sure, but it's funny: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
He had no training in biological sciences or medical devices,[18] which became an issue due to the absence of medical experts on the company's board of directors and Balwani's behavior.
Within Theranos, Balwani was known for using technical terms he seemingly did not understand in what others believed were attempts to appear more knowledgeable.[16] Balwani at one point claimed "This invention [the Edison blood testing device] is going to be way up there, um, with – with the discovery of antibiotics."[18] He once misheard "end effector" (the claw or other device at the end of an automated robot's arm) as "endofactor" (a nonsense word) and repeated the error throughout a meeting, furthermore not noticing when "Endofactor" was subsequently used as a prank in a PowerPoint presentation.[16]
To be fair, May was not worse than your average PM. At least she was realistic about what Brexit was possible. I blame the party more than May for that one.
But yes, since the realistic Brexit was not Brexit enough, then they put the compulsive liar in place and made as if they believed the Ireland border thing was really solved. Then they kick him out for... lying.
While without Brexit it's more likely Osborne would have been PM now, not Truss, you can't really blame Brexit for Truss any more. The Brexit supporters could have done the same thing without Brexit.
Not sure what you mean. Experian is also the biggest credit agency in the UK (and has been from way before Brexit), from experience they are worse than the competition, and I have no reason to think they have any financial problems.

It's not requiring a charger port.
there are a lot of people in Spain who earn only about 12,000 EUR ("mileuristas")
The Spanish (gross) minimum wage is 14,000 EUR/year. Even somebody without young children or any other discount is going to be closer to 13,000 EUR/year net than 12,000 EUR/year net.
The monthly gross minimum wage is indeed 1,000 EUR/year, but that's counting 14 payments/year.
The "mileurista" term has been used at least since 2005 (https://elpais.com/diario/2005/08/21/opinion/1124575203_850215.html), 17 years ago! Salaries have changed since then.
> which I use among other things to watch Netflix
What's wrong with Netflix in Firefox? I use it in Linux with no problems.
> The "x" to close a tab no longer appears when you hover over a tab
Fedora 34, Firefox 90. The "x" is all the time there.
> the speaker icon to identify a tab playing audio is no longer present all the time. You have to hover over the specific tab to find it.
It says "PLAYING" in the bottom of tabs playing audio.
I mean, the UI is the web contents and the address bar, isn't it?
Moving the address bar to the bottom in mobile was IMHO a big improvement. But whatever they do, it's not like you can hide the address bar to the point of making it difficult to find.
I barely use the rest of the UI. I guess it has changed over the years, I couldn't really tell you how.
I do like the new UI. I'm still using Firefox in Android, Chrome is not even installed/"enabled".
With today's screen sizes the address bar in the bottom is IMHO way better.
I don't even have Chrome installed/"enabled" in my Android phone. Firefox works just fine, and I actually appreciate that the address bar is in the bottom. The last time I had to use my wife's phone I found the address bar in the top in Chrome really irritating.
