Problems With Precision and Judgment, but Not Integrity, in Tesla Test

You can get a Canon 5D II or a Canon 6D for that. Older cameras for sure, but full frame with excellent sensors. And there are a ton of inexpensive used EF lenses available.

Compared to moderns systems the main difference is the autofocus and video capabilities. Modern mirrorless have cosmically better tracking, eye detect etc.

Before the listing mechanism was introduced, several buildings where demolished overnight preventing any public outcry from saving them.

You also seem to be implying this is new, but the current listing legislation has existed since 1990.

- You Right click a tab and choose `Add to new Tab Group`. - You then name and set a colour for the group. - You then drag tabs in and out of the group.

So far the tabs work much the same as ungrouped ones. There is a small coloured button to the left of the group with the name, and the tabs in the group are underlined with the same colour.

But then you click the button and the tabs all collapse.

The nice thing is when expanded they are just like every other tab, not hidden away in a folder, or some menu or modal. But then you can clean up with the press of a button.

Lack of Tab Groups is what stopped me from switching to Firefox last year.

Quick judgments

I think most peoples judgments have been formed over 21 years. WordPress initially gained a reputation for being a fast and easy way to setup a website, then gained a reputation for being a security nightmare.

Maybe its not anymore but people are right to be sceptical. I sure do see a lot of CVEs in the weekly update I check - maybe they're all low risk, or relate to rarely used plugins.

I’m baffled as to when this time was? Back in the day there was ICQ, Yahoo Chat, MSN Messenger (and no doubt a dozen I forget).

Before the there there the proprietary networks (Aol, CompuServe and others) along with BBS, IRC, Newsgroups, etc.

I literally don’t remember a time in my life where messaging hasn’t been fragmented.

Not the browsers themselves, but the extensions that provide tab group functionality - they often have the `Access your data for all web sites` permission.

Maybe I trust the developer right now, but one day they may sell their plugin to someone else. Obviously its the same story for uBlock Origin, but I prefer to restrict the number of extensions with these permissions, and its a shame to need an extension for what is provided by all the other major brwosers.

I tried moving to Firefox a year ago but found that the lack of Tab Groups really killed me.

There are several extensions that try to emulate this behaviour, but I didn't find that they worked particularly well. And then there are the security concerns.

I guess when Chrome break uBlock Origin next year I'll give Edge a go, or one of the various chromium builds

I use several EF lenses on my Canon mirrorless. They tend to focus faster then on the old SLRs (and this is on the EOS-R which has the least sophisticated focusing).

They’re cheaper but you have to carry an adapter.

If you want them kept for posterity, upload them to (archive.org)[https://archive.org/]

Just create an account and upload them. Create a collection called `historic transport photographs` and they will live on.

I was using Evernote extensively back in 2008. It was a real tossup between Evernote and OneNote (which at the time wasn't cloud based and required syncing the files).

Then Evernote proceeded to cease all feature development on the main app. They where releasing food apps while the main product grew stale. Instead of making Evernote incredibly powerful, they didn't touch it and people left any of the dozen competitors that exist today.

What I find fascinating about this project is it’s longevity. It was started in 1995, a year before Civ II came out. I remember playing it in 2000. And here it is still going. Development is pretty active and there is even a 3D mode.

I'm left astonished at the amount of work that went into this article! Not simply its length (which is padded with large amounts of quotes) but the number of sections. I had assumed there would be an enormous comments section at the end, instead section after section after section. Oh look a randomized study he ran. Oh an enormous table of anecdotes.

Incredible.
