Very similar to what we advise our clients on. Keep access to a minimum because all that's online is not secure enough to stop a hacker. Now drones can read out your handwritten note in your pocket. Next will be distant mind reading.

How can businesses gain cyber security when threats are reaching epidemic levels, and hackers can always find a way in?

They say "Human translation speed is 200 words an hour, 2000 words a day per translator." They estimate on 10h working day, and they have some of the slowest linguists, or what?

A professional translator translates on average 200 words an hour and about 2000 words a day. This is true across languages and regardless of where the translator is working.

Importance of a single word:
This is a true story from the Japanese Embassy in US!!!

A few days ago, Prime Minister Mori was given some basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets President Barack Obama ...

The instructor told Prime Minister Mori, "When you shake hand with President Obama, please say 'How are you?' Then Mr. Obama should say, 'I am fine, and you?' Now, you should say 'Me too.' Afterwards, we translators will do the work for you."

It looks quite simple, but the truth is ...

When Mori met Obama, he mistakenly said 'Who are you?' (instead of 'How are you?').

Mr. Obama was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor: 'Well, I'm Michelle's husband, ha-ha ...'

Then Mori replied, 'Me too, ha-ha ....'

Then there was a long silence in the meeting room.
