> While it may seem logical that the king has a queen by his side, that’s not how things started out. In the Indian original, this piece was the king’s “counselor” (mantri in Sanskrit). The Arabs used wazir (“vizier,” i.e., the ruler’s minister/secretary), which was Latinized to farzia, which became the French vierge (“virgin”).
Just the other day I was wondering what a stupid name for the Queen's piece. Not at all logical. It's battlefield and not wedding/ceremony for queen to be by-his-side. Vazir is popular piece name in India as well.
- The one who was laid off/fired will form a to-be-billon-dollar company.
- Suddenly there will be high quality, eloquent and verbose written form of English everywhere (emails, books, movie scripts, blogs, news, poems, school/college essays).
- Climate change protests turns fatal.
- Twitter will be on the path to profitability (don't know what it will have to pay for it though).
- Compare yourself with your previous version and not with others. (Taught in school to us to not compare grades with other students but with yourself. This stuck with me for life.)
- Knowledge is not power. Knowledge is potential of power. (Brought me out of the false sense of comfort that reading book or completing course/training will automatically benefit me or is progress towards actual work. You need to apply the knowledge else it is useless.)
- You don't have to complete the book you are currently reading. (First heard from Naval)
- Arrange documents alphabetically and cross reference if required. Any other system will fall apart.(From GTD)
No substitute to getting out and actually doing the sell but this book will get you tons of ammunition to make your offer bullet proof. Don't go by the title. It has very actionable advise:

For a while now, performance has not been an issue for me to not use Firefox. It's the no support for the multiline tabs and/or tab groups. Both features which were previously possible in Firefox. This is pretty much a blocker for me and they don't seem to have any plan to fix this.
Are there reasons that the "Simple Tab Groups" extension isn't suitable for you? It seems to be well-maintained, cleverly uses Firefox's "hide tabs" API to keep a single window behind-the-scenes, and has integration with lots of other features like Firefox's containers. I think it's an indirect descendent of the old Tab Groups extension when it was spun out of Firefox.
It doesn't scale. Also we intuitively identify a tab by its location in our browser. Opening a different window and then locating that tab there is slow.
Then finally gave up Firefox (after using for 15+ years) when Chrome released tab groups. Use above workaround to believe me that I tried before giving up.
After few dozen tabs the tab width becomes so small that it is difficult to click on them or figure out which tab is which. Multiline helps in maintaining the tab width.
