WRT a photo a day. Artificial deadlines limit creativity . Best to do shorter durations or give yourself a head start (200 photos before you start publishing).
”The program remains fully independent of NATO. France is the only member of the alliance that doesn’t belong to its Nuclear Planning Group, and President Macron holds full authority over potential use.”

Talk about a major fail..
”in 2016, the task force created new software that could "be installed on iOS and Android that intercept traffic for specific sub-domains, allowing us to read what would otherwise be encrypted traffic so we can measure in-app usage. This is a 'man-in-the-middle approach,'"…
