Technical text sure. But literature translation is more closer to writing the book anew. I really appreciate the exemplary work the early 90s translatiors did with Wodehouse in my native language. You could feel in your bones the interwar period.
And when I read it in original - to my surprise some of the puns were less funnier in the original.

They're going to win, because the organization has no defenses against it
You expel from the organization everyone that takes position A with the "Everyone that doesn't believe in due process is not someone we want here"

Yes yes ideally they would not be discussing this on their extremely difficult to secure smartphones and instead followed official guidance to use MS Teams with whatever dumb compliance features Microsoft added but we all know C level execs aren't going to listen.
Willing to bet that the teams solution is less secure than properly updated iphone or android with signal.

Like the outsider added to the chat just so happens to be a journalist? What are the odds of that?
Not low. Vance's phone will be full with high profile beltway people. As will everyone else's. A nice chunk of them are journalists.
If US allies are not worries about their secrets being leaked on warthunder discord, they should probably also sleep tight for some adversary being invited in signal group chat. I doubt that Ayatollah Khomeini is on Walz or Vance shortdial unlike the chief editor of the atlantic. Everyone is pearlclutching because they hate the current admin.
When it comes to fuckups - i would say this is run of the mill one. As a person that has dealt with security and opsec - at some point you just accept that C level people will do stupid stuff and move on. That secrets will be sent in plaintext. That passwords will be written on post it stamps or spell to the secretary in the cafeteria where everyone can overhear.
It's not a nothingburger, but it is a veggieburger. It is humiliating, but not terribly dangerous.
Btw - if some high level Trump admin person is reading this - check threema. The great part about it is that doesn't require any kind of id, and the id themselves are just hex symbols. it is open source and a proper audit of the clients by the USG will be great for everyone.

It is 50 years old. So there may be something better out there.

We had a university annul Erdogan's main rival's diploma, so by turkish law he can't run in the upcoming elections, also he got him elected. Also erdogan has had constant purges of the judicary, military since he came to power and threw around 30000 people in jail after the coup.

A single Nigerian phishing scam cannot compromise the White House network because POTUS clicked the wrong e-mail. We hope, at least.
They prevented one Hilary from becoming POTUS.

Any system with good enough opsec doesn't have the needed throughput to be useful.
You are absolutely correct. But if you want to gather
Secretary of Defense, Vice President Vance, Tulsi Gabbard. In total, "18 individuals were listed as members of this group, including various National Security Council officials" in a room,
you will have a single meeting for the whole term of the president.
To me this is kind of funny given the enormous discrepancy in power between the USA and the Houthis. It's kind of like if a grown man prayed for victory just before getting into a fist-fight with an infant.
The Houthis need to be lucky only once for the US to have a massive egg on their face. People are still talking about the downed F-117 in Serbia. Also realistically I would bet that if a carrier is sunk quite a lot of the people on board would drown. There is air of invulnerability over US Capital ships so some of them being lax on evacuation procedures training is not unthinkable.

Signal security was not compromised in any way. And moronic endpoints are a flaw in any messaging system.
Using non secure messaging platforms is reckless, adding people to the chat they shouldn't have access to is incompetence. There is difference.
Signal is probably at least as secure as everything else the government has in its toolbox. Moxie is the real deal.

For a what counts as "complete collapse" of eastern ukraine
Collapse by it's nature is impossible to time right. The USSR caught by surprise everyone. So did Arab spring. It came to Assad after he had won ... Ukraine collapsing or Russia is both in the cards in any moment. Or even Turkey.

Not an immigration lawyer, but I am fairly certain you can come to US for business purposes on the waiver program. You just can't be paid paid or compensated by US entities for your time and services.

Psychological torture also is effective in breaking someone's spirit. And I think that the resistance know in their bones that this time the price they will pay will not be symbolic.
I think that part of Trump strategy is just to teach them learned helplessness
The practice Katas of drawing are fairly unpleasant and demotivating to do, which is why they aren't taught to beginners.
Can you point me to them. I am engineer without any kind of creativity. I learned how to sharpen freehand and did the challenge of the gods on the original god of war. Can't be more unpleasant than that.
The rest sounds suspiciously like what drawbox peddle. Will give a try.

In my head there should exist some form of katas to do and practice to get better - the way they exist for everything else.

getting something that is in front of me on paper, and getting something that is in my head on paper. Nothing fancy or abstract or cartoonish.

Does anyone knows of scientifically proven ways of rapidly learning to draw if you have absolutely no talent or experience? Talking about pencils initially. I know about the "drawing on the right side of the brain" already

To put it bluntly - you don't help the junkie by giving him more junk to shoot.
Let's see how we can improve the education with less money. First - we fire vast majority of all administrators. Second - we abolish student loans. This will reduce the price of education across the board since for no one's surprise the more generous the loan the higher the prices of college become. Third - by making the education states' affair you will give ability for states to actually innovate. Also less money will mean less chromebooks, ipads and other idiocies. So far I have yet to see anything that beats pen, paper and discussion in class in high quality learning.

I live in a country with sane id laws. National id is mandatory. It is also a etnostate. So if you are not the right phenotype, don't speak the language and don't have id it is quite certain that you don't belong in the country so no legal process is needed.
Alfred Nobel begs to differ.
